Minimum of 2 years of relevant experience in fluid systems, instrumentation, or experimental platform development
Experience with fluid handling systems, pumps, tubing, or flow control architectures
Experience with system integration and hardware-based experimental platforms
Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills
Ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary research and engineering environments
Preferred Qualifications
Master's or Ph.D. in a relevant engineering discipline
Experience with microfluidics, perfusion systems, or biologically relevant flow systems
Familiarity with control systems, sensors, and automated or semi-automated fluid handling platforms
Experience with design and implementation of complex, multi-component systems
Experience with data acquisition, monitoring systems, or system diagnostics
Experience working at the interface of engineering and biological systems
Experience in controlled or regulated laboratory environments
