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.”

Lauren

Software Engineer, Educator, Singer

From managing the transition of a POC hematology instrument from development to manufacture, to mentoring female high school students on clean energy projects, Lauren’s driving passion is improving lives. “I’m passionate about improving people’s lives, through education, through better health outcomes.”

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.

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.

Richard

Manufacturing Engineer, Jet Engine Designer, Automotive Restorer

Coming to Invetech by way of Rolls Royce aviation where he designed jet engines, Richard is passionate about manufacturing high-technology products.

“I get great satisfaction in knowing every single product we deliver is going to a customer somewhere around the world to be used to improve or save lives!”

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.

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).

Peter

Visionary, Innovator, Engineer, Everywhere Cyclist

Peter, an everyday and everywhere cyclist, is devoted to improving healthcare in the diagnostic market. A long-time member of our IVD leadership team, Peter spends much of his time in front of clients translating their needs and desires into tangible concepts and program plans.

“My motivation comes from creating a vision for new clients and showing them how their product could work, what it could look like, and how we will craft it into reality.”

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.”

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.”

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!”
