What is a PoC engineer?

A PoC (Proof of Concept) Engineer is a technical professional responsible for designing, developing, and demonstrating prototype solutions to validate the feasibility of new technologies or concepts. Their work involves translating ideas into working models or small-scale systems that showcase the potential value of a product or feature. PoC Engineers collaborate closely with product managers, developers, and clients to ensure that proposed solutions meet requirements before full-scale development begins. This role is critical in identifying technical challenges, reducing risks, and accelerating innovation within organizations.

How does a PoC engineer typically collaborate with cross-functional teams during the development of proof-of-concept projects?

As a PoC (Proof of Concept) Engineer, collaboration with cross-functional teams is a key part of the role. You'll often work closely with product managers, solution architects, and sales engineers to understand client requirements and translate them into technical prototypes. Effective communication and adaptability are essential, as you'll need to gather feedback from stakeholders, iterate quickly on solutions, and ensure that the PoC meets both technical feasibility and business objectives. This collaborative environment offers valuable opportunities to expand your technical knowledge and build strong professional relationships across departments.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a PoC engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a PoC (Proof of Concept) Engineer, you need strong expertise in software development, system integration, and troubleshooting, often supported by a degree in computer science or a related field. Familiarity with cloud platforms (like AWS or Azure), scripting languages, prototyping tools, and DevOps practices is typically required. Strong problem-solving abilities, effective communication, and the ability to adapt quickly to evolving requirements make someone stand out in this role. These skills are crucial for rapidly developing and demonstrating innovative technical solutions to validate concepts for clients and stakeholders.

About Essenlix Corporation:
 Essenlix Corporation is a fast-growing medical device company focused on developing innovative point-of-care diagnostic platforms for decentralized clinical testing. Our technologies integrate microfluidics, precision instrumentation, imaging, automation, and scalable manufacturing to enable accessible, high-quality diagnostics worldwide.
Our overseas manufacturing facility is ISO 13485 certified. We are expanding our U.S.-based assay development and product development capabilities while advancing next-generation POC diagnostic platforms from feasibility through commercialization. 
Position Summary:
We are seeking an experienced POC IVD Assay Development Consultant / Contractor to support and accelerate the development of clinical chemistry assays for a Lab-on-Spin-Disk / centrifugal microfluidic diagnostic platform. 
This role is intended for a consultant with strong hands-on experience developing biochemical or clinical chemistry assays that can be translated into manufacturable IVD products, especially assays using dry reagent formats, lyophilized reagent beads, or stabilized reagent systems.
The consultant will help design, optimize, troubleshoot, and productize assays for analyzer-based POC diagnostic systems. Prior experience with Lab-on-Disk, Lab-on-Spin-Disk, cartridge-based clinical chemistry platforms, or similar POC IVD systems is highly preferred. 
Target assay areas may include, but are not limited to: 
glucose, albumin, creatinine, lipid panel, triglycerides, cholesterol, metabolic panel, electrolyte panel, and liver function markers such as AST and ALT. 

 Key Responsibilities:
  • Develop, optimize, and troubleshoot biochemical and clinical chemistry assays for POC IVD platforms. 
  • Support assay development on Lab-on-Spin-Disk, Lab-on-Disk, centrifugal microfluidic, or equivalent cartridge/analyzer-based systems. 
  • Design and optimize reagent formulations, including enzyme systems, buffers, calibrators, stabilizers, surfactants, preservatives, and dry reagent formats.
  • Develop or improve lyophilized reagent bead formulations suitable for product integration and manufacturing transfer.
  • Evaluate assay performance, including precision, accuracy, linearity, sensitivity, specificity, reportable range, interference, and matrix effects.
  • Conduct method comparison studies against reference analyzers or established clinical chemistry systems.
  • Support real-time and accelerated stability studies for liquid, dried, and lyophilized reagent formats.
  • Troubleshoot assay performance issues related to reagent chemistry, sample matrix, disk/cartridge design, fluidics, optical detection, and instrument interaction.
  • Work closely with engineering, instrumentation, software, manufacturing, QA/QC, and regulatory teams to ensure assay-platform compatibility.
  • Provide technical guidance to accelerate assay development from feasibility to productready design.
