Kon

Designer, Innovator, Caricaturist

Our go-to man for creative thinking from breakthrough innovation to staff caricatures. “I love the challenge of idea generation and innovation workshops. And I strongly believe artistically rich visual communication is key to effective problem solving.”

Andrew

Engineer, Pixel Artist, Upcycler

A key team member on many cell therapy automation projects, Andrew comments “I think about the birthday cakes that wouldn’t have been if not for technology we’re developing.” Apart from saving lives, Andrew sets the standard in saving the environment, from making tables out of old packing crates to creating decorative made from hard-rubbish and garage sales finds, and beyond.

Arun

Software Developer, Mechanical Interface Engineer, Marathon Runner

For Arun, there is a strong parallel between his work and long-distance running, “every achievement makes me see that this is not a sprint, it’s a marathon. And the wins, little and big, challenge me to do even better next time.”

Arun started running long distance because he wanted to pursue a personal challenge, “I think distance running requires mental strength along with physical strength, determination and perseverance. I have completed many marathons and look forward to more.”

Brandon

Senior Mechanical Engineer, Skydiver, Baseball Enthusiast

When Brandon isn’t solving complex mechanical engineering challenges, you can find him playing baseball or jumping out of airplanes.

He’s the manager and catcher for the El Cajones Baseball Club, and his skydiving record includes more than 500 jumps and a USPA instructional rating.

Kevin

Embedded Software Engineer, Golfer, Chorister

From telecommunications (including, mobile telephony, mobile hotspot and base-station technology) to in vitro diagnostics (specifically Point of Care biomedical instrument workflow development), Kevin’s career has been varied.

In his free time, you can find Kevin playing golf with his family or singing bass in a choir (though not at the same time).

Charles

Electro-Mechanical Technician, Boomerang Experimenter

There are no two work days the same for Charles, with engineering, prototyping, design for production, and traveling for technical support and maintenance on his plate.

Outside of work, Charles’s experimentation and prototyping continue with creative boomerang design and testing, as well as any number of other outdoor experiences.

Christian

UX/XD Interaction Designer, Tennis and Basketball Player, Home Chef/Baker, Traveller

Christian’s passion for experience design stems from his desire to understand people on a deep emotional level while they interact with technology and their environment. “I come from a family of artists and have always wanted to merge art, technology and communication.”

When Christian is not designing digital interfaces, he keeps busy playing tennis and basketball, sharpening his cooking/baking skills and crafting his imagination.

Ali

Scientist, Laboratory Specialist, Photographer

Not content with his busy role in the laboratories of Invetech, Ali spends his Saturdays working for a pathology laboratory. “It’s something I’m just passionate about. I get to experience new, automated systems and keep my skills fresh in terms of being an active lab user.”

Paul

Electrical Engineer, Quality Development, Soccer Player

What better environment than the Japanese automotive industry to learn and master Quality Policy and Deployment. Paul’s years in Japan with Toyota have delivered a kind of cultural revolution to the project teams at Invetech. In discussing his motivations, “Contributing to humanity through developing instruments that help save lives” is high on his list.

Lian

Cell Therapy Application Scientist, Foodie, Outdoor Enthusiast

Most of Lian’s days are spent in Invetech’s San Diego cell therapy lab improving automation in cell therapies. With a PhD thesis that focused on stem cell derived vascular cells for tissue engineering, Lian’s passion for science is tangible. 

Outside of the lab, Lian likes to enjoy hotpot and BBQ with friends and spending time outdoors with her dog Olive.

Ian

Electronics Engineer, Author, Antiques Collector

Among many projects, Ian has been the leading light of our RoHS offering–a role that calls for extraordinary attention to detail. Naturally, this trait is evident in Ian’s private pursuits including spending 10 years writing a definitive text on the history of Roman coinage, in his spare time.

“One of my more memorable projects was developing a molecular diagnostic platform for detecting tuberculosis in 3rd world countries. From a technical perspective, it was challenging integrating so much technology into a compact instrument including sample preparation, ultrasonics, rapid PCR, electrophoresis, optics and microfluidics. How we whooped with delight when a perfect electropherogram first appeared on the screen!”

Doug

General Counsel/Chief Compliance Officer, Novice Woodworker

Doug is responsible for leading Invetech’s global legal and compliance effort and spends much of his time advising on best practices in those areas.  When he is not busy ensuring our legal matters run like clockwork, Doug enjoys spending time with his family and attempting to make things out of wood without injuring himself or others.
