XGenomes is developing a radically new DNA sequencing technology that will revolutionize personalized healthcare. We watch single-molecule interactions at optical super-resolution, down to a few nanometers and use artificial intelligence to decode sequence and epigenetic states.To scale up our prototype, we are looking for a mechatronics/mechanical/systems engineer to join our team for an in-person summer internship in Cambridge, MA.We look forward to reading your application at this link!Responsibilities- Develop and evaluate performance of heating and cooling systems for automated fluidics system for a prototype single-molecule DNA imaging platform- Integrate and control new fluidic components, such as pumps or thermocouples- Test system reliability across device subsystems including fluidics, hardware, and software- Implement work-flows and features in Python-based control software- Work with our biologists to improve experiment reliability and develop new featuresEssential Qualifications- Massachusetts resident, or attending an accredited college/university located in Massachusetts or a Minority Serving Institution- Experience building, validating, and troubleshooting heating and cooling systems- Ability to conduct calibration, testing, and maintenance of instrument subsystems, such as pumps, solenoids, thermocouples- Ability to use CAD tools (Solidworks, Fusion360) and 3D printing or laser cutting technologies to redesign and prototype instrument subsystems- Willingness to learn new skills, communicate across multi-disciplinary team, and document progressNice-to-haves- Ability to develop embedded systems using Python, serial, Arduino, etc.- Experience with microfluidics theory and fabrication- Familiarity with DNA/RNA, biology, or chemical laboratory work
