Until
Electronics technician job in San Francisco, CA
Until is a moonshot company building a “pause button” for biology. Our near‑term focus is organ‑scale reversible cryopreservation: preserving donated organs at subzero temperatures without ice formation, then rewarming them uniformly for transplant. By solving this grand challenge, we're laying the foundation for whole‑body reversible cryopreservation, giving patients a bridge to future cures.
To achieve our goal, we are assembling an interdisciplinary team to develop perfusion systems, cryoprotectant formulations, and vitrification and rewarming hardware.
We envision a future where no transplantable organ is lost to logistics, and no terminal diagnosis is final because patients can safely wait for future medicine to arrive.
About the Role
One of the key outstanding challenges in the field has been the rewarming problem: how do we rapidly and uniformly rewarm large samples to press play on cryopreserved biology? One of the key ingredients is building N‑of‑1 electrical systems. Doing so requires a fast paced, scrappy team of electrical engineers and physicists who want to make technology indistinguishable from magic.
About You
Track record of exceptional engineering abilities
Deep understanding of analog circuit and electromagnetics fundamentals
Experience designing, simulating, and building high frequency circuits
Desire to join a small, fast paced team on an excellent adventure
Preferred Qualifications
Experience working at a startup
3+ years relevant experience/graduate degree in electrical engineering
Experience with high voltage systems
Experience with induction heater design
Experience with HF PCB bringup
Experience with mixed signal circuit simulation
Benefits
Opportunity for outsized impact creating the future as an early team member
Generous medical, dental and vision insurance coverage
Flexible time off and paid holidays
Competitive compensation package, including salary and equity
Access to a 401(k) retirement savings plan
FSA and commuter benefits
Subsidized lunch daily
Salary Range: $120,000 - $200,000 a year. While this represents our expected range based on market data, final compensation will be determined based on your specific qualifications and may be outside this range. Please keep in mind that the equity portion of the offer is not included in this estimate.
As an equal opportunity employer, Until is committed to providing employment opportunities to all individuals. All applicants for positions at Until will be treated without regard to race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, age, marital status, veteran status, pregnancy, or any other basis prohibited by applicable law.
