About this position

Carnegie Mellon University’s Department of Mechanical Engineering is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate focused on the integration and testing of biosensing devices. The project centers on connecting nucleic-acid analysis workflows with small-scale fluidic systems, sensors, electronics, and data acquisition to create functional integrated prototypes.

The role combines device fabrication and assembly with experimental setup, assay-compatible sample handling, and quantitative testing of the complete system. The successful candidate will help develop repeatable preparation and operating procedures, identify failures at subsystem interfaces, and work with sensing and assay teams to improve prototype performance.

This position is embedded in CMU’s broader Mechanical Engineering environment, where faculty, researchers, and students work across advanced manufacturing, bioengineering, computational engineering, energy and the environment, product design, and robotics. The postdoc will collaborate across biological, device, sensing, and electronics teams, supporting integrated experimentation and troubleshooting in a multidisciplinary research setting.

Key technical activities include preparing and inspecting MCDS devices, cartridges, fixtures, and fluidic connections; integrating sample handling, assay chambers, sensing elements, electronics, and data acquisition; developing nucleic-acid analysis workflows with assay collaborators; and setting up synchronized measurement and control systems. The work emphasizes reproducible build procedures, system-level validation, and tracing failures across mechanical, fluidic, biochemical, electrical, and software interfaces.

The postdoctoral associate will also contribute to technical reporting, presentations, manuscripts, project meetings, and scientific dissemination, while mentoring students or junior researchers as appropriate. The position is based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, within Carnegie Mellon University’s interdisciplinary research environment.

What's required

A doctorate degree is required in Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Bioengineering, Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, or a closely related field, with research relevant to integrated analytical devices. Applicants should have 0-1 years of experience and hands-on experience developing and testing microfluidic, biomedical, or analytical devices; device assembly and preparation; experimental troubleshooting; sensor or electronics interfaces; and quantitative data analysis. Working knowledge of nucleic-acid analysis and the ability to develop reproducible workflows with assay specialists are required. Experience with CAD/CAM, microfabrication, assembly and sealing, fluidic fixtures, electrode integration, instrument control, or calibration and data acquisition is preferred. Experience with nucleic-acid sample preparation, amplification or other detection methods, CRISPR-based assays, or electrochemical sensing is desirable. Prior cleanroom, chemical hygiene, biosafety, and laboratory electronics training relevant to the work is preferred, and applicable institutional safety, equipment, and facility training must be completed before assigned work.
