    About Archean Sciences Today, testing treatments for neurological conditions (like Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s) is slow, expensive and often inaccurate because lab models don’t reflect how the human brain works. Archean changes that by enabling faster, more predictive drug testing while also offering a far more energy-efficient alternative to traditional computing chips, which consume enormous amounts of energy. Neurons, by contrast, are extraordinarily energy efficient. Archean’s biological computing system can run AI workloads at a fraction of the energy cost of conventional silicon chips. About the role Archean Sciences is developing autonomous brain-on-a-chip systems that interface living neurons with advanced hardware and software. Our platform is designed to support scalable in vitro neuroscience, drug development, and biological computing by making live-cell experiments more automated, reproducible, and data-rich. We are looking for a versatile Mechatronics Engineer to help build, integrate, and harden the next generation of our autonomous systems. This role will own the end-to-end physical integration of the biological interface hardware into a reliable autonomous platform. Responsibilities Build and integrate robotics, motion control, sensors, actuators, fluid handling, and control systems. Prototype fixtures, wiring, PCBs, mechanical interfaces, and system assemblies. Fabricate chips in the cleanroom. Translate biological and experimental requirements into engineering specifications and test plans. Design around live-cell constraints including environmental control, sterile fluid handling, optical access, and electrical interfacing. Develop calibration, diagnostics, data logging, reliability testing, and operating SOPs. Improve system robustness and manufacturability as the platform moves from prototype toward product. Qualifications We are especially interested in candidates with experience in several of the following areas: Mechatronics, robotics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or related fields. Motion control, sensors, actuators, embedded systems, FPGAs, or automation. Python, control software, data logging, diagnostics, or hardware-in-the-loop testing. PCB bring-up, wiring, fixtures, rapid prototyping, or lab instrumentation. Fluidics, sterile systems, environmental control, microscopy, electrophysiology, or biological instrumentation. Cleanroom fabrication. Building systems that must operate reliably over long periods with limited supervision. Who You Are You’re a curious, hands-on builder who enjoys understanding the whole system. You can prototype quickly, debug across disciplines, and turn working prototypes into reliable, documented systems that others can operate. Why Join Archean Work on a new class of autonomous biological hardware at the intersection of robotics, neuroscience, drug development, and biological computing. Join early enough to shape the platform architecture, culture, and product direction. Build real systems that move from prototype to deployed scientific infrastructure. Compensation Compensation will be competitive and commensurate with experience.
