Polymer Scientist

Job Description

Job Description

Until is a moonshot company building a “pause button” for biology. Our near-term focus is organ-scale reversible cryopreservation : preserving donated organs at subzero temperatures without ice formation, then rewarming them uniformly for transplant. By solving this grand challenge, we’re laying the foundation for whole-body reversible cryopreservation, giving patients a bridge to future cures.

To achieve our goal, we are assembling an interdisciplinary team to develop perfusion systems, cryoprotectant formulations, and vitrification and rewarming hardware.

We envision a future where no transplantable organ is lost to logistics, and no terminal diagnosis is final because patients can safely wait for future medicine to arrive.

About The Role

We’re building an elite team of applied physicists, engineers, and materials scientists for true full stack engineering, from electrons to operating systems. Projects will require high degree of autonomy and breadth of skill across electrical, mechanical, and materials design, with a strong emphasis on first principles thinking.

About You

• Strong fundamentals in a scientific (physics, chemistry, biology, materials) discipline, excited to build the future
• Experience with phase change materials and / or polymer synthesis
• Demonstrations of exceptional ability and autonomy in past work
