At SiPhox, you will: Build the first generation of photonic immunoassays deployed in consumer health. Design assays whose constraints are shaped by semiconductor physics as much as biochemistry. Work on hard problems (free hormone assays, multiplexing, competitive equilibrium, small-volume matrices) where innovation, not incrementalism, wins. See your work ship in a product used at home by real people, not just research labs. If you want to work at the frontier of diagnostics (where photonics, biochemistry, and consumer health converge) we'd love to meet you.
