About the job
Today, fertility clinics help people make babies. One of the bottlenecks of fertility is the embryology lab. It is an extremely laborious manual process, as embryos are made by hand. At Overture we are automating the embryology lab in order to make IVF more available, affordable and reliable. Overture is a global start up with offices in US, UK and Spain which aims to revolutionize embryology.
As a company, we want to democratize access to fertility treatment benefits and give everyone the opportunity to bring home healthy babies. Our close-knit team cultivates an environment of creativity, innovation, rapid iteration and collaboration with both scientific, engineering and operations teams. The environment is dynamic, fast-paced and requires a self-starter attitude.
We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Product Design Engineer to join our team.
