Engineer/Applied Physicist
Bay AreaOn-siteFull-time
AI Summary
An interdisciplinary engineer/applied physicist designs and builds perfusion systems, cryoprotectant formulations, and vitrification/rewarming hardware for reversible organ preservation.
About this role
Until is a moonshot company building a “pause button” for biology. Our near-term focus is organ-scale reversible cryopreservation: preserving donated organs at subzero temperatures without ice formation, then rewarming them uniformly for transplant. By solving this grand challenge, we’re laying the foundation for whole-body reversible cryopreservation, giving patients a bridge to future cures.
To achieve our goal, we are assembling an interdisciplinary team to develop perfusion systems, cryoprotectant formulations, and vitrification and rewarming hardware.
We envision a future where no transplantable organ is lost to logistics, and no terminal diagnosis is final because patients can safely wait for future medicine to arrive.
About The Role
We’re building an elite team of applied physicists and engineers for true full stack engineering, from electrons to operating systems. Projects will require high degree of autonomy and breadth of skill across electrical, mechanical, and computational design, with a strong emphasis on first principles thinking and a desire to make technology indistinguishable from magic.
