About Level Zero
Level Zero is pioneering next-generation biosensor technology for precise, real-time monitoring of critical endocrine biomarkers. Recognised as one of the top 20 startups across all categories worldwide at TechCrunch Disrupt 2024 - and backed by top-tier organisations like SOSV and Entrepreneur First - we’re pushing the boundaries of biochemistry and nanotechnology to revolutionize personalised health.
Founded by two seasoned engineers, we bring extensive experience in R&D, technical innovation, and commercial strategy to transform the way people monitor their health. Our mission is bold: to revolutionise health management by delivering clinical-grade data directly to individuals, wherever they are.
We’re seeking driven innovators to join us in pushing the boundaries of biosensing and health tech, making personalised health monitoring a reality for everyone. To achieve this ambitious vision, we’re assembling the best team in the world - dedicated to turning cutting-edge science into life-changing, real-world solutions.
About This Role
We're looking for a Scientist with background in sensor electrode & Platform development to help design, fabricate, and scale our electrochemical electrode and biosensor platform. Working closely with the founding team, you'll take sensor concepts from material and geometry selection through microfabrication, electrochemical validation, and process refinement; building devices that can ultimately be manufactured at scale for in vivo biosensing applications.
What You’ll Do
- Design, develop and fabricate microelectrode and microneedle-based sensor platforms, from concept through to scalable, mid-range production
- Optimise electrode materials, geometries and architectures, including Working/Counter/Reference assemblies, to improve sensor performance and manufacturability
- Characterise devices using physical and electrochemical methods (e.g. SEM, impedance measurements) to validate performance and guide design iteration
- Develop and refine fabrication processes to ensure reliable, repeatable QC as sensors move toward biosensing applications
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What You Bring
The ideal candidate must have
- Master’s degree with 1-4 years of industry experience, or PhD with 0-2 years of industry experience in chemistry, electrical engineering, electrochemistry, microtechnology, materials science, biomedical engineering, or a related discipline
- Working knowledge of electrochemical sensing techniques, sensor performance evaluation, and optimisation
- Hands-on experience developing microelectrode-based sensor platforms
- Practical microfabrication experience (e.g. photolithography, sputtering, e-beam deposition, or comparable techniques) applied to electrode manufacture
- Experience optimising electrode materials, geometries and architectures to improve sensor performance, robustness and manufacturability
- Experience characterising fabricated devices using both physical and electrochemical methods (e.g. SEM/microscopy, impedance spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, or similar) to evaluate performance and guide iteration
- Track record developing and refining fabrication processes for reliable, repeatable, and scalable device production
- Experience with QC and validation protocols for electrochemical assemblies
- Experience with cleanroom fabrication environments
Nice to have:
- Direct experience developing sensors for in vivo or in vitro biosensing applications
- Experience developing conductive microneedles
- Experience designing wearable medical devices
- Familiarity with regulatory/quality frameworks relevant to medical devices (e.g. ISO 13485, design controls)
- Background in materials science, bioelectronics, or biomedical engineering
