Pawan Maharjan

Lead NPI Engineer
"My favorite part of my job is finding solutions to problems and issues that arise with the instruments, and I’m proud to have led the design and build of Elegen’s hardware. I believe our small contribution in genomics will make a huge impact for humanity!"

What is your reason for this career?

I love machines! My primary responsibility is to work with R&D, develop the instruments, then build enough units to go into production. Machines have changed our lives and enabled us to achieve so many amazing things. We landed on the moon with the help of a rocket, which is a machine.

What inspires you?

I like helping my friends and colleagues. With my small help, when they achieve success, and they have a smile on their face… that inspires me.

Favorite hobbies?

I love anything and everything nature! I like going on small hikes with my family and friends or just sitting in nature. I was born in Nepal, and I grew up with nature.
My favorite getaway place is Lake Tahoe.
