Scientist - Electrode and Platform
On-siteLondon, England, United Kingdom
Job Summary
Design, develop, and fabricate microelectrode and microneedle-based sensor platforms from concept through scalable production. Optimize electrode materials, geometries, and architectures to improve sensor performance and manufacturability. Characterize devices using physical and electrochemical methods to validate performance and guide design iteration. Develop and refine fabrication processes to ensure reliable, repeatable quality control as sensors move toward in vivo biosensing applications. Master's degree with industry experience in electrochemistry or microtechnology required; cleanroom fabrication environment essential.
Required Qualifications
- Master's degree with 1-4 years of industry experience, or PhD with 0-2 years of industry experience in chemistry, electrical engineering, electrochemistry, microtechnology, materials science, biomedical engineering, or a related discipline
- Working knowledge of electrochemical sensing techniques, sensor performance evaluation, and optimisation
- Hands-on experience developing microelectrode-based sensor platforms
- Practical microfabrication experience (e.g. photolithography, sputtering, e-beam deposition, or comparable techniques) applied to electrode manufacture
- Experience optimising electrode materials, geometries and architectures to improve sensor performance, robustness and manufacturability
- Experience characterising fabricated devices using both physical and electrochemical methods (e.g. SEM/microscopy, impedance spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, or similar) to evaluate performance and guide iteration
- Track record developing and refining fabrication processes for reliable, repeatable, and scalable device production
- Experience with QC and validation protocols for electrochemical assemblies
- Experience with cleanroom fabrication environments
Desired Qualifications
- Direct experience developing sensors for in vivo or in vitro biosensing applications
- Experience developing conductive microneedles
- Experience designing wearable medical devices
- Familiarity with regulatory/quality frameworks relevant to medical devices (e.g. ISO 13485, design controls)
- Background in materials science, bioelectronics, or biomedical engineering
