Senior Scientist – Biosensing and Product Development

For a pioneering medtech company in Delft, we are recruiting a Senior Scientist to join an innovative and fast-paced R&D team. This is a unique opportunity to drive the development of cutting-edge biosensing technology that will revolutionize healthcare, starting with a minimally invasive continuous glucose monitoring system (CGM).

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
  • Working closely with our CTO to tackle technical challenges and performance optimization for our CGM product and our product portfolio pipeline.
  • Independently designing and implementing R&D activities, including establishing technical requirements, testing hypotheses, improving prototyping and manufacturing activities, designing experimental setups, developing protocols, and analysis methods.
  • Updating the product’s R&D strategy by proactively identifying problems and implementing possible suitable solutions.
  • Interest to continuously take on new challenges and learn to deliver results in a complex and multi-disciplinary environment.
  • Executing the planned activities, while leading other team members in supporting them.
  • The position is not suitable for remote work and requires ability to handle chemicals and small components in a laboratory setting.

Minimum Education and/or Experience Required:
  • MSc, or preferably PhD, in biomedical or microsystem engineering, materials science, organic/biochemistry, or similar.
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience working on the development and validation of biosensing devices.
  • Specifically, the candidate should have worked at a biosensing company that has worked with devices measuring under the skin (either implantable or similar to others).
  • Extensive laboratory experience and engineering best practices.
  • A track record of experimental work, with systematic problem-solving approach.
  • Proficiency in statistics and data analysis / interpretation methods.
  • Excellent internal communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work both independently and in teams and clearly expose results and requirements.

Additional Meriting Skills:
  • Product strategy development, and management of engineering teams to reach specific product performance goals.
  • Basic knowledge of the regulatory process around medical devices in the European Union, including MDR and ISO 13485.
  • A history of contribution in medtech R&D projects in the fields of wearables or, preferably, class II-a or II-b medical devices, or publications surrounding biosensing.
  • Previous work on miniaturized medical devices, sensing technologies, and electrochemistry. Ideally, having worked on the development of in-vivo continuous glucose monitoring devices before.
  • Background in miniaturized medical devices, electrochemistry, or sensing technologies.
  • Experience in developing CGM devices is highly advantageous.

Practicalities:
  • Location: Delft, The Netherlands.
  • Start Date: ASAP.
  • Contract Type: 6 months contract followed by a direct contract with the company
