| Job Description | Tribogenics is commercializing a breakthrough technology that enables the world’s smallest and most affordable x-ray sources. This technology will revolutionize dozens of medical and security applications in a $20B market space. X-rays are generated by creating triboelectric (static) charge, which eliminates the need for costly and bulky high-voltage power supplies.
X-rays are a key diagnostic tool in medicine, but half the world’s population has little or no access to them. Tribogenics is building ultraportable, battery-operated imaging systems to address this massive market and provide transformative change to improve the lives of billions of people worldwide.
Tribogenics was founded in 2011 and currently employs scientists and engineers at a world-class R&D facility in Marina Del Rey, California. Our advisory board includes luminaries in business, scientific and medical fields. The company is venture-backed and recently closed a financing led by Peter Thiel's Founders Fund.
