Biosensor Technician
Exciting Medical Devices Development company seeks a highly
self-motivated and enthusiastic a BioSensor Technician to support the
Group's R&D programme by assisting and contributing to lab-based
research work, particularly with regard to biosensors.
As part of the biosensor team you will be developing systems allowing
electronic signature of biological events to be detected and allow
interrogation of biological assays. The company have proprietary IP in
the use of Nanowires for this application and are developing and
partnering with key market leaders to ensure parallel sensing
strategies and rapid disease diagnostics.
We have a world leading, multi-disciplinary team of scientists who
continue to develop platform technologies continually driving down the
cost, precision and time-to-result of our diagnostic assays and you
will be joining a fast paced, highly motivated team.
The nature of the role will require integration and communication with
Assay, Chemistry, Engineering teams all under the guidance of the
quality team and the ISO13485 framework. As such you must be an
excellent communicator orally and in written work.
Applicants for this role are expected to have a background in Physics,
Electrical engineering or related field.
Duties may include:
* Supporting Group laboratory focused R&D as directed by Line
Manager and recording results accurately and honestly in a Lab
Book in accordance with Company policy.
* Undertake electrical test and measurement of FET devices and
nanomaterials.
* Writing accurate experimental plans, reports and maintain
inventories
* Recording and interpreting results from electrical
characterisation (transconductance, transfer function and
threshold voltages for example) to present to senior management
and external partners.
* Keeping up to date with technical developments, especially those
which can save time and improve reliability.
* Conducting searches on identified topics relevant to Group R&D
programme, as directed by Line Manager.
* Following and ensuring strict safety procedures and safety checks.
* Supporting the Group Research Manager and Quality Assurance
Manager in developing, implementing, communicating and maintaining
a quality plan to bring the Company's Quality Systems and Policies
into compliance with ISO13485 standards.
* Effectively interacting with Technical and Development teams to
ensure analysis is performed in accordance with company
procedures.
* Working with purchasing staff to establish Quality requirements
from external suppliers.
* Ensuring tests and procedures are properly understood, carried out
and evaluated and that modifications are investigated if
necessary.
* Complying with QA standards and policies and ensuring that targets
are achieved.
* Constructing, maintaining and operating standard laboratory
equipment.
* Ensuring the laboratory is well???stocked and resourced.
Experience, knowledge and requirements
* BSc, MSc level graduates with Physics or electrical engineering
experience are encouraged to apply. Experience of electrical
characterisation / test and measurement using low voltage SMUs
would be beneficial.
* An inherent willingness to research, develop and explore
scientific methodologies and ideas in response to research and
device developmental challenges.
* To adhere at all times to the legislation, guideline and demands
of the external and internal regulatory environments.
* Excellent communication / teamwork / IT skills and ability to work
in a changing environment on complex projects.
* Knowledge of biosensors and operational characteristics when
applied to label free detection methods.
* Experience of MATLAB programming would be an advantage
* A good sense of humour and ability to adapt to a changing
environment as the Company matures and moves from the R&D stage
into commercialization.
* Be eligible to work full time in the UK without restriction
