Open roles

We’re hiring an optomechanical engineer and an optical physicist, descriptions below. Email hi@tripletimaging.co with a cover letter and CV.

Optomechanical Engineer

This role is on-site, full-time in the Bay Area.

About the role

We’re hiring an optomechanical engineer to design, build, and help commercialize novel fluorescence microscopes. As our first full-time engineer, you will have a high degree of ownership and influence over product design and direction.  

In this role you will: 

  • Turn our prototypes into products— leading product design, testing, and manufacturing of multiple microscopes

  • Rapidly iterate on the next generation of our tech

  • Partner with the CEO on commercialization — visiting labs, companies, and conferences to demo our device, work closely with early customers, and learn how it will push the frontier of biology research

  • Help develop and commercialize further applications of our tech such as lithography and diagnostics

Key qualifications 

  • Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, optical engineering, physics, or equivalent experience 

  • 5+ years of industry experience

  • You’ve built and shipped a commercial optical device, ideally a microscope but not required

  • Expertise in opto-mechanical tolerancing

  • Proficiency with Python or MATLAB for instrument control and data analysis and with CAD software (preferably SolidWorks or similar)

  • Familiarity with DFM 

Preferred qualifications

  • Experience working with biological systems

Salary/Pay Range 

  • $150,000-$200,000 annual salary, equity, and benefits

Optical physicist 

This role is on-site, full-time in the Bay Area.

About the role 

We’re hiring an optical physicist to lead our research on the characterization and application of a novel method for generating multiphoton fluorescence. As our first full-time scientific hire, you will have a high degree of ownership and influence over the company research agenda. 

In this role you will:

  • Continue optimization of our technology e.g. testing new fluorescent indicators, implementing approaches to decrease power levels, testing different light sources 

  • Test and characterize novel applications of our technology e.g. lithography, diagnostics, opsins

  • Run characterization experiments on various models studying variables like photobleaching, power levels, pulse width, and fluorescence levels 

  • Collaborate with biologists, chemists, and protein engineers on the development and testing of novel indicators

  • Prototype microscopes in collaboration with our optomechanical engineer 

  • Author technical documentation and scientific publications

  • Propose additional applications 

  • Perform spectroscopy experiments on fluorescent proteins

Key qualifications 

  • PhD in experimental optical physics or equivalent experience 

  • Demonstrated track record of building high precision hardware

  • Experience with imaging biological systems — fluorescence microscopy preferred, ideally multiphoton microscopy  

Preferred qualifications 

  • 2+ years of a postdoc or industry experience 

  • Proficient with Zemax software

Salary/Pay Range 

  • $150,000-$180,000 annual salary, equity, and benefits
