Scientist

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Plan and carry out experiments and simulations to support the development and optimisation of our next-generation microfluidic sorting chips and fluidic cartridges.

• Analyse experimental and simulation data draw conclusions and recommend next steps within the scope of assigned work.

• Use numerical simulation tools (e.g. COMSOL ANSYS OpenFOAM) to model chip performance and de-risk designs and contribute technical input to chip design process decisions and validation activities

• Write and run Python scripts for test automation and data analysis.

• Perform detailed performance analysis summarise key findings and present to findings to project teams and stakeholders; may represent the company in technical discussions with external partners collaborators or at conferences.

• Collaborate with external MEMS foundries to specify wafer builds review process flows and track fabrication progress.

• Work closely with internal teams across software electronics and biology to ensure smooth integration into the full system.

Knowledge and Qualifications:

• Degree in Physics Engineering Microfluidics MEMS or a related discipline. The minimum required relevant experience is 2-5 years with a PhD 4-8 years with a Masters or 6-10 years with a Bachelors.

• Strong understanding of fluid dynamics and microfluidic systems with experience in designing and conducting experiments analysing data and interpreting results

• Understanding of MEMS fabrication techniques (sputtering ALD RIE DRIE PECVD etc.) and ability to contribute to process flow decisions (experience working directly with MEMS or microfluidic chip fabrication is an asset)

• Proficiency in Python for data analysis and/or test automation with experience using simulation tools (COMSOL ANSYS OpenFOAM or similar)

• Exposure and familiarity with optical systems (e.g. microscopy lasers high-speed imaging) is an asset

• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently on assigned tasks with effective verbal and written communication skills
