Research Scientist – Implantable Biosensing Systems
We are seeking a Research Scientist with a strong background in the R&D of biosensing, implantable or in-vivo medical device technologies to help develop a next-generation, fully implantable system for continuous biomarker monitoring. Working across the complete system, you will investigate, model and prototype new technologies spanning mechanical systems, materials, electronics, energy and communications, solving complex multidisciplinary challenges that will shape the next generation of the device.
This is an exceptional opportunity for a scientifically rigorous and practically minded researcher who enjoys solving complex problems from first principles. Working within a multidisciplinary R&D team, you will combine theoretical modelling and simulation with hands-on experimentation and characterisation, developing proof-of-concept technologies and establishing how they will perform within a challenging biological environment. The role offers genuine scientific and engineering depth, with the opportunity to generate new ideas, develop intellectual property and contribute directly to an emerging healthcare technology.
The Company
We are an innovative healthcare technology company developing novel sensing platforms designed to generate continuous biological insight in an area of medicine that remains poorly understood. Our work combines advanced engineering, sensing technologies, materials science, embedded systems, and human physiology.
This is a highly collaborative R&D environment where scientists and engineers work across traditional discipline boundaries to investigate complex system-level challenges. The successful candidate will contribute directly to modelling activities, experimental investigations, prototype development, and technology evaluation work supporting the evolution of future platform technologies.
