  • Plan and execute experiments supporting novel sensing membrane formulations, characterization, and process development.
  • Analyze datasets to evaluate sensor performance metrics, including accuracy, precision, and reliability.
  • Troubleshoot anomalies in sensor signal time series data.
  • Conduct cumulative error analyses using closed form solutions or Monte Carlo simulation.
  • Recommend error thresholds on sensor bench tests based on error analysis or simulation.
  • Partner with sensor integration and development teams to assess system performance.
  • Transition designs passing feasibility exit criteria to the product development team.
  • Develop procedures, plans, protocols, and reports to ensure compliance with product specifications and regulatory requirements.
  • Maintain accurate lab records, notebooks, test procedures, and protocols.
  • Apply basic laboratory safety protocols, including chemical hygiene and waste disposal.
  • M.S. or Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, NanoEngineering, Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Physics, Applied Physics, or related discipline.
  • At least 5 years of post-graduate, hands-on experience with diagnostics, electrochemical biosensors, and/or wearable devices in an industrial setting.
  • Knowledge and direct experience handling raw and processed datasets of various sizes.
  • Experience with modeling stochastic processes (Monte Carlo or similar).
  • Expertise in experimental design, statistics, DOE techniques, and data analysis methods.
  • Proficiency in scripting & data analysis tools such as MATLAB, Python, C/++, JMP, R, Minitab, etc.
  • Demonstrated knowledge and experience in biosensor and/or diagnostic development and testing.
  • Strong analytical and experimental skills for characterization of materials and biosensor components.
  • Quantitative understanding of electrochemistry, redox reactions, and analyte-receptor interactions.
  • Proficiency in troubleshooting and root-cause analysis.
  • Knowledge of glucose (and other analyte) sensors for continuous use or spot measurement.
  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
  • Ability to deal with ambiguity and uncertainty.
  • Strong willingness to learn new things and acquire new skills.
  • Excellent collaboration, communication (written and verbal), and interpersonal skills.
  • Comprehensive benefits program.
  • Growth opportunities on a global scale.
