Optical Engineer Salary in Boston, MA

Postdoctoral Research Fellowships (Optical Coherence Tomography)Employer DescriptionGuillermo (Gary) J. Tearney, M.D., Ph.D.Tearney Lab - Wellman Center for PhotomedicineMassachusetts General HospitalThe Tearney Lab is an 80+ person multidisciplinary lab led by Guillermo (Gary) Tearney, MD, PhD. The goal of the Tearney Lab is to see every cell in the human body so that disease can be detected at its earliest stages when it can be cured.To this end, the lab has pioneered multiple optical coherence tomography (OCT) devices that enable 3D imaging at the microscopic scale in living human patients. These technologies include multimodality OCT where OCT is combined with spectroscopy, fluorescence, and other optical techniques, ultrahigh-resolution OCT (µOCT) where the resolution is sufficiently detailed to visualize individual cells, and functional OCT that measures the function and metabolism of cells in living systems. These technologies are implemented in a variety of devices (endoscopes, catheters, capsules, implantable) that provide accessible imaging anywhere inside the body. The lab has major programs to overcome clinical diagnostic challenges in celiac disease, food allergy disorders, malnutrition, coronary artery disease, hearing loss, GI cancer, and cystic fibrosis, among others. Novel technologies are created using device development processes and tested and validated in over 15 ongoing single- and multi-center clinical studies.To enable this broad translational research, the Tearney Lab is outfitted with:• Robust engineering, quality, and clinical regulatory teams• State of the art optical laboratories• Two class 10,000 clean rooms• Multiple rapid prototyping facilities• Nanoscribe optical printing• Machine learning coreJob DescriptionThe role will:Develop novel OCT based-devices for in-vivo imaging including high-resolution micro-OCT, dynamic OCT, fluorescence OCT, white light OCT, diffuse reflectance OCT, and OCT combined with ultrasound.Develop novel optical devices based on other optical modalities such as spectrally encoded confocal microscopy, and photoacousticsImplement technologies in one or more of the following organ systems: heart, lungs, brain, ears, gastrointestinal tractGuide research questions, design studies, and monitor the execution of those studiesGuide and oversee engineers and technicians on the research aspects of your projects and ensure they are being done to a scientifically valid and publishable standardHold regular technical meetings, set the agenda, and outline a sequence of work for technicians and engineers to followPublish in world-leading high impact journalsDeliver milestones on timeThis appointment will be made at the rank of postdoctoral fellow or instructor at Harvard Medical School, commensurate with the applicant's experience.

Harvard UniversityPosition Title: Microfluidics EngineerReq ID: 65690BRSchool or Unit: Harvard Medical SchoolDescription: Position DescriptionHarvard University is launching a nation-wide initiative around platforms for microfluidics and optical engineering. The DARTS project is a large, high-profile, multi-institutional project that focuses on developing microfluidics and microscopy tools to capture microbes from clinical samples and identify the antibiotics to which they are sensitive. We are searching for a microfluidics engineer to produce novel microfluidic devices to accomplish these goals. This position will work closely with researchers who have developed prototype devices, and will engage with faculty and researchers to develop these early- stage devices into robust devices that can be produced at scale and used in real world contexts.You will work with other team members develop and produce a large number of complex microfluidic devices intended for specific sub-projects within the overall project. Key challenges will include separating pathogens from the other cells and debris in biological samples, and creating channels and devices that allow microorganisms to be imaged while growing. You will collaborate with a range of clinical, academic and industry labs to design and test these devices, trouble-shoot them, and improve them based on feedback. You will produce devices for use by collaborators, developing quality requirements and quality control testing procedures. The ultimate goal is to produce devices that will be used directly in the clinic to identify microorganisms in sick patients, and test their sensitivity to antibiotics. We anticipate that this work will lead to a number of publications and patents, which you will participate in as appropriate. This is a temporary position with the potential for renewal in the event that additional grants are awarded.Key responsibilities:Build novel microfluidic chambers combining tens of millions of channels on the micron- or sub-micron scale (using fluid dynamics, E-beam and 3D lithography, maskless aligners, micro-printers etc), connected to larger mesoscopic features (CNC micro-milling, laser welding). Oversee the specialized instrumentation required for these processes, taking the lead on purchasing, maintenance and management.Optimize and troubleshoot chamber design for use with complex sample types and to microfilter samples to separate cells of interest from debris and other cell types in clinical samples. Perform rapid prototyping of alternate designs optimized for varied pathogens. Participate in experimental design for device tests. Direct interaction with live pathogens is not required.Perform additional troubleshooting and optimization in response to feedback from industry partners. Train collaborators in the use of the devices as required.Create and document operating procedures, production pipelines, quality control strategies and training manuals.Basic QualificationsBachelor's degree or equivalent work experience required.Minimum of 8 years' relevant work experience.Additional Qualifications and Skills7 years of experience developing and producing microfluidic chips preferred. Ph.D. preferred.Energetic and driven problem-solver and team player.Intense focus on precision of measurement and repeatability of results.Additional InformationThis is a term position with an end date of 11/01/2024, with the possibility of extension, contingent upon work performance and continued funding to support the position. The health of our workforce is a priority for Harvard University. With that in mind, we strongly encourage all employees to be up-to-date on CDC-recommended vaccines.Please note that we are currently conducting a majority of interviews and onboarding remotely and virtually.
