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.

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.”

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).

Brian

IT Site Administrator and Facilities Manager, Golfer, Steel Tip Darts Champ

During his workdays, Brian ensures Invetech’s computers and facilities in San Diego are in top notch shape and running smoothly.

In his free time, you can find Brian on the golf course or playing darts. He holds an impressive steel tip darts ranking from the early 2000’s with a #1 rank in San Diego and within the top 50 in the United States.

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.

Ashleigh

Mechatronics Engineer, Field Hockey Player

Ashleigh plays a leading role in the development of our clients’ cell therapy technology. “For me, there is no greater driving force than knowing that the work we are doing will save lives, will help cure cancer.”

Annie

UX Design Engineer, Illustrator, Artist

For creative content and deep insight into understanding how people interact with user interfaces, Annie is our go-to person. Outside of work, she loves manga (her art and others), cosplay, Japan and alpacas.

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!”

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.

Maxim

Designer, Usability Engineer, Musician

Multifaceted Max, musician, songwriter, band manager, creative artist, designer and engineer at Invetech. “My recent usability activities on a large instrument program have been particularly rewarding as I know my contribution will enable the end user to have the best possible operating experience whilst removing the potential for user-error.”

Betina

User Experience Designer, Researcher, Strategist, Traveler, Foodie

Making an impact is what inspires Betina in the world of design-led innovation and experience design, “tackling challenging problems to positively impact people’s lives is what motivates me every day.”

When she is not helping shape the future of healthcare, Betina can be found walking the beaches of San Diego along with her dog Remi.

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.
