# Staff Mechanical Engineer, Consumables at 10x Genomics

10x Genomics is seeking a Staff Mechanical Engineer to drive the design and development of sophisticated biotech consumables that power their groundbreaking genomics platforms. You'll lead projects from initial concept through high-volume manufacturing, specializing in injection-molded plastics, microfluidic integration, and advanced assembly techniques like ultrasonic welding and laser bonding. Your work will directly support the company's mission to accelerate biology and advance human health through innovations like their newly launched Atera platform.

This role demands deep expertise in medical device design, with at least 10 years of mechanical engineering experience and 5+ years specifically in biotech or medical device consumables. You'll need strong proficiency in injection molding, knowledge of thermoplastic and elastomer materials, and hands-on experience with FEA, tolerance analysis, and CFD simulation. Regulatory acumen is essential—you'll design for ISO 13485 and FDA 21 CFR Part 820 compliance while contributing to Design History Files.

Beyond technical execution, you'll mentor junior engineers, serve as the mechanical engineering bridge across multidisciplinary teams of biologists and chemists, and manage vendor relationships with molding partners and material suppliers. Based in Pleasanton, California, this is a full-time staff-level position where you'll own critical subsystems end-to-end and identify patentable innovations in fluid handling and sealing technologies.
