Senior Electrical Engineer

<div class="content-intro"><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Eikon Therapeutics is a new biopharmaceutical company employing revolutionary technology at the intersection of chemistry, engineering, computation, and biology to discover novel treatments for life-threatening diseases. Eikon’s discovery platform is built on groundbreaking innovations from its founders (Nobel Prize, 2014), culminating in the creation of microscopes which enable real time, molecular-resolution measurements of protein movement in living cells, thereby unlocking otherwise intractable classes of proteins as drug targets.</span></p></div><p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span data-contrast="none"><strong>Position</strong></span><span data-contrast="none"> </span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559738":240,"335559739":240,"335559740":240}"> </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span data-contrast="auto">The Hardware group at Eikon Therapeutics develops super-resolution, high-throughput optical instrumentation.
