  This includes selecting and integrating a commercial microfluidics system (e.g. Elveflow or similar), designing a custom sample chip holder and fluid interface, integrating control into an existing Python control software, and establishing practical operation and cleaning procedures.

  The work is supported by a biochemistry team, but we are seeking for the right candidate who can make confident engineering decisions based on previous hands-on experiences connected to eg. microfluidics and laboratory automation.

  Responsibilities

  • Mechanically integrate new devices into a prototype life-science instrument. The initial focus is on liquid sample handling, such as flow and temperature control.

  • Develop Python control and automation software, starting from existing vendor SDKs.

  • Design simple mechanical parts (CAD / 3D printing)

  • Hands-on prototyping and debugging in the lab

  • Method development for instrument performance evaluation and self-calibration.

  Over time the role will involve increasing focus on automation and device control software.

  Candidate Profile

  For you to enjoy performing expected activities, and being a valuable member in an ambitious and innovative team; we think you are an engineer with a strong creative mindset and with strong previous experience building/developing scientific or laboratory instrumentation.

  This role suits someone who enjoys experimental prototyping in a small startup environment. The candidate should be comfortable collaborating in a multidisciplinary research environment consisting of engineering, software, biochemistry and nanofabrication experts.

  Relevant backgrounds and skills include:

  • Master of Science and/or Ph.D. educational background – ideally combined with a relevant Life Science focus.

  • Practical experience with microfluidics systems

  • Python programming for hardware control

  • Comfortable with hands-on lab engineering (CAD, electronics, prototyping)

  • Microscopy / Optics / Imaging

  • Lab automation / Liquid handling

  • Mechatronics / Robotics
