Until is a moonshot company building a “pause button” for biology. Our near-term focus is organ-scale reversible cryopreservation: preserving donated organs at subzero temperatures without ice formation, then rewarming them uniformly for transplant. By solving this grand challenge, we’re laying the foundation for whole-body reversible cryopreservation, giving patients a bridge to future cures.

To achieve our goal, we are assembling an interdisciplinary team to develop perfusion systems, cryoprotectant formulations, and vitrification and rewarming hardware.

We envision a future where no transplantable organ is lost to logistics, and no terminal diagnosis is final because patients can safely wait for future medicine to arrive.

About the Role
As a Cryogenic Process & Systems Engineer at Until, you’ll lead design and execution of high-pressure cryogenic fluid systems that support our perfusion and rewarming hardware. You’ll translate process requirements into engineered systems—pumps, piping, heat-exchangers, instrumentation, and safety infrastructure—to enable organ-scale vitrification and rewarming.

You’ll work side-by-side with mechanical engineers, materials scientists, and biologists to build, test, and iterate hardware that pushes the boundaries of cryogenic processing.
