Yokogawa Fluence Analytics, which was named as a Top 50 global advanced manufacturing startup by CB Insights, provides patented process analytics and control solutions to polymer and biopharmaceutical customers worldwide. Yokogawa Fluence Analytics is a global leader in real-time polymer reaction monitoring and control, and its industry-leading ACOMP product is the only commercially available smart manufacturing system that continuously monitors and measures polymerization reactions.

The company’s biopharmaceutical product line includes a high-throughput static light scattering instrument that can independently measure the stability of biopolymers under thermal, chemical and/or mechanical stress, while also performing shelf-life stability studies at low temperatures.

ARGEN™ is a laboratory benchtop, multi-cell, static light scattering instrument offered within our Biopharma product portfolio. It is utilized to continuously monitor the dynamics and stability of therapeutic proteins, peptides, and biopolymers under various thermal, chemical, or mechanical environments and stress conditions.

YFA is searching for a full-time, experienced, highly motivated and enthusiastic, collaborative Optoelectronic Engineer who will work closely with the Vice President of Engineering to meet the increased demand for our products and technologies. Previous experience working in engineering and/or manufacturing of optical and fluidic measuring instrumentation products, sample cooling, nitrogen/dry air purging, and associated data processing is highly desired. Our goal is to produce optical, fluidics, and electrochemical instrumentation with the highest degree of reliability and data quality, with defined performance specifications.
