Skyphos

Additive Manufacturing Technician for Lab on A Chip Devices

Skyphos Technologies is recognized as the world leader in micro-additive
manufacturing – we specialize in the development of next generation microdevices for medical cures and research such as microfluidics, and lab-on-a-chip devices. Since 2018 Skyphos is the only recognized and awarded 3D printer company for truly microfluidic devices with features from 10-100 um in size. Skyphos is a Manufacturer as a Service (MaaS) company – meaning we make our 3DP machines to enable production for our customers. Our 3D printers, materials and algorithms are all designed n-house and allow for incredibly detailed architectures of open channels in stacked layers in rapid times. Because we are mold-free, our customers can test multiple devices with small parameter variations at the same time – on the same sample populations– this enhances product development time and experiment resolutions while dramatically reducing costs. Since our devices are made from the same materials whether it is a run of 10 or a run of 10,000 all the devices will work the same at every stage.
Project:
Skyphos is looking for a fun and dynamic intern from a STEM discipline to learn the role of 3D technician for production. It is not necessary that the intern have an engineering or life-sciences degree – but undergraduate work is preferred. The intern must have lab- based experience (academic, veterinary, or previous job), a good understanding of safety and know how to use PPE properly.
In this position the intern will learn the process from start to finish of 3D printed Lab-on-a-Chip and microdevice production. This includes drawing receipt, quoting, DfAM review process, resin selection and machine tuning, STL-plating printing and QC (microscopic inspection). The Intern will be part of the process for post-production and should be familiar working in a lab setting with chemicals (such as IPA, acetone, toluene, etc.).
The intern may be selected to help with silanization protocols, plasma work, and should be familiar with safety concerns of confined spaces and fume-hood work. Again, it is imperative the intern have previous work with proper PPE (gloves, goggles, lab-coat etc.) As the printers are UV-light based the intern is also expected to understand the differences and use of proper safety gear such as filtering goggles.
It is preferred that the intern have previous coding and motion control experience as one of the summer goal projects is to begin developing an automated wash cycle for
batches of devices. We hope to find the right candidate so that upon successful
conclusion of the internship, a full-time offer will be tendered. That full time position is expected to be as the lead-technician with control over post-processing and automating that process.

Experience or undergraduate work – one or more focus:
Engineering Disciplines: Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics
OR
Life Sciences: microbiology, microfluidics, cell culture, veterinary work, animal
husbandry.

Requirements:
 Attention to detail, self-starter
 Understand basic lab protocols, including safety and record keeping
 Creation and storage of buffers, resins and compounds (%v, molarity, %wt, etc.)
 Prefer SLA, DLP or resin based 3DP experience
 Intern should be able to navigate drawing and model transitions between the
following: STL, IGES, STEP, DWG, SW
 It is preferred to have 3DP experience, especially with polymer FDM and
polymer-DLP/LCD machines along with an understanding of different post-
processing steps which can be used.
Nice to have:
 Prefer Coding experience with Go-Lang, Python, C++, G-Code, Java and Java
Script
 Prefer experience with motion controls, timing, and robotics
 Programs: Asiga Stomp, Asiga Sleecer, Chitubox, Inventor, Solidworks, Comsol,
nTopology, MS Suite,
