About Biomemory
We're a worldwide pioneer in using synthetic DNA for Data Storage. Wild, right?
We're a well-funded startup designing servers for Data Centers.
The goal: Store massive amounts of data (Exabytes) for a super long time (100+ years) without breaking the bank.
We're based in Paris, France and Boston, MA USA.
What you'll be up to
You're joining the Hardware Engineering team to work on our cool DNA-based data storage systems.
We need a "hands-on" versatile engineer and a true "Maker" who loves to integrate micro-mechanics, electronics, and firmware into one smooth automated system.
You'll work with the biochemistry, mechanical, and electronics teams to get products from the initial idea (specification) all the way to being ready (qualification).
If you're a jack of all trades who loves a challenge, this is for you!
Your Main Gigs
Design & prototype custom parts for super-precise automated systems.
Chat with vendors to get parts made.
Develop the brains (electronics & firmware) to control all the sensors, motors, and fluidic parts.
Test, tweak, and perfect everything (optimization, testing, validation, qualification). Gotta understand all the steps and what could go wrong!
Team up with all the other departments (mechanical, software, electronics, biotech) to make sure everything fits together nicely.
- Help automate the lab and make the Hardware team's work better overall.
What we're looking for
Education : Bachelor's or Master's in Mechatronics, Robotics, or something similar.
Experience : 0 to 3 years, ideally in biotech, medtech, lab automation, etc., working on stuff that was actually sold.
"Maker" Mindset : You love the "Design-Build-Test" cycle. Basically, you enjoy messing around with stuff, building it, and figuring out how it works!
You've built a robot or a complex prototype, even if it was just a university or personal project.
Your Skillset
Awesome at being creative and solving problems.
-
Solid understanding of:
Mechanical Design : SolidWorks/Fusion 360
Electronics Design : Altium Designer, KiCAD
Firmware : STM, RTOS
You know how to plan tests, analyze failures, and keep good documentation.
You're familiar with electronics debug tools like oscilloscopes and logic analyzers.
You can roll with the punches in a fast-paced startup and work well with different teams.
You can communicate clearly (especially documenting your results).
You are eager to learn, and not afraid to jump in and try things!
- You are comfortable working in English (talking and writing).
The Workplace
Onsite : You'll be working in Paris (5 Impasse Reille, 14th arrondissement).
- Cool Spot : Our offices and labs are designed to bring together hardware, computer science, and biology people.
Why Join Us?
Huge Impact : You'll be tackling the global data storage problem with a game-changing, disruptive technology—using biology!
Growth : You’ll level up your skills fast in a super exciting work environment.
- Unique Blend : It's the rare place where high-level engineering meets molecular biology.
