Job Summary

Prolific Machinesis ushering in a new era of biotechnology with light. Our mission is to make next-generation therapies broadly available to patients. Our first-of-its-kind Photomolecular Platform uses light to precisely guide how cells produce complex biologics enabling higher titers improved quality and faster development timelines. By helping partners overcome todays manufacturing bottlenecks were accelerating the delivery of life-changing medicines. Prolific is supported by leading investors including Bill Gatess Breakthrough Energy Ventures Mayfield and SOSV.

Help us create a brighter tomorrow with biology. Were looking for mission-driven talented and kind people to join our team.

Were looking for an Electrical Engineer to support design testing and integration of electronic systems that power our advanced biomanufacturing platforms. Youll collaborate closely with hardware software and bioengineering teams to ensure our electrical subsystems meet performance safety and reliability requirements. This role will be based on-site in Emeryville CA and will report to the Senior Mechatronics Engineer of the company. Standard hours will be 40hrs per week with the employee aiming to be onsite during the companys core hours Monday-Friday 10am-4pm.

Resonsibilities

Ownership of the design schematic capture and layout of PCB assemblies for control sensing and power distribution.
Assist in system requirements definition of PCB assemblies
Support prototype development including assembly wiring and debugging of electronic hardware systems.
Perform bench testing and validation of electrical components and systems.
Help create and maintain BOMs schematics and documentation in CAD/PLM systems (Fusion 360 Eagle).
Collaborate with firmware engineers on interface definition and testing between hardware and embedded software.
Collaborate with mechanical engineers and technicians on mechanical constraints of PCB assemblies environmental conditions and other factors driving electrical system requirements.
Collaborate with optical engineers on optical power delivery constraints.
Collaborate on the design of testing infrastructure for production electronics.
Participate in root-cause analysis and failure debugging during system bring-up and production builds.
Assist in vendor evaluation and component selection for reliability cost and manufacturability.
Follow safety and quality standards for laboratory and production environments (ESD grounding etc.) and help set best practices.

About You
