• Work in a clean room to quality check high precision micro-fluidic device for cell sorting applications • Generate G-code using Mastercam to CNC machine hydrophobic adhesive backings for cell sorting system • Operate Hybond Model EDB-141 to bond cell sorting microchip onto interposer • Conduct dry-tests using pressurized air and pressure sensors to test for failures and obtain optimal operating pressure • Assist in generating concepts for next generation cell sorting chip designs • Help develop COMSOL simulations to test potential next generation designs • Entire production team ships out around 800 assembled cell sorting systems to mother company in Germany • Format and create GMP approved SOPs for every task carried out in the production process • Designed and created a fixated tray that actuates 30 cell sorting chips at once to facilitate production process • Used force sensors to test actuating motors that are used in the pressurized air tester for repeatability and failure modes o Data was used to update and increase dry tester pressure values to speed up testing times • Created new design format for test chips to increase differentiation from production chips and ease manufacturing process
