The Role

We’re looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer

to take technical ownership of the electrical development of Caladan’s next-generation biomanufacturing platform. You’ll lead electrical design from early prototypes through production, working hands-on across schematic design, PCB layout, test development, EMC compliance, and manufacturing support.

This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments and wants to build real-world electromechanical systems that ship. You’ll work closely with our mechanical, software, and manufacturing teams to bring complex products to life, establish scalable engineering processes, and ensure our hardware performs reliably from the lab to full-scale production.

This is a fully in-person role

based out of our DUMBO office and lab.
