Mechanical Design Lead

Neoglacia is a young company dedicated to developing the best possible tools and solutions for the exciting field of cryo-electron microscopy (Cryo-EM). Cryo-EM is a Nobel-prize winning technology used to understand the fundamentals of biology, assist with the development of vaccines, therapeutic drugs, and provide insight into viruses and other aspects of living systems. Specifically, we aim to make researchers' work easier, permitting them to delve deeper into the understanding of the fundamentals of biology, illness and medicine.

We are extremely proud of our designs and solutions and excited to be workingwith scientists and researchers in both academic institutions and pharmaceutical companies. We design sophisticated systems that merge mechatronics, high precision in time and space, user interface and the specific needs of researchers looking to cryogenically prepare biological samples.

Culture is extremely important to us. Neoglacia is committed to cultivating and preserving a culture of inclusion. We look for and value diversity in backgrounds, talents, and ideas on our team and in the creation of our culture and our products. Different points of view looking at the same problem enable new and innovative solutions. We welcome the unique contributions that are made possible by the diverse collection of individuals that make up our company.
