Mechanical Engineer, Fluidics/Perfusion

Bay AreaOn-siteFull-time

AI Summary

Mechanical Engineer with a focus on fluidics and perfusion systems, responsible for designing and validating fluid handling, heat exchangers, and cryoprotectant delivery within a fast-paced startup environment.

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.
