  • Hands-on experience in medical diagnostics, biosensor development, microfluidics, or device prototyping is highly desirable.
  • Industry or postdoctoral experience involving application development, proof-of-concept studies, or technical support.
  • Previous experience in a customer-facing scientific role (applications, field support, or technical sales) preferred.
  • Excellent communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills with the ability to engage diverse audiences.
  • Ability to work across biology, chemistry, physics, and engineering disciplines.
  • Knowledge of regulatory standards (e.g., ISO 13485, ISO 9001) is an advantage.
  • Strong problem-solving skills with a proactive, solution-focused mindset.
  • High degree of flexibility, independence, and willingness to travel up to 60%.
  • Fluent English is required; additional European languages are an advantage.
  • Must have a UK drivers license and access to a car.


We provide
  • Competitive salary and benefits package.
  • Opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies in a dynamic, international environment.
