• Formulate and optimize ion-selective membranes, enzyme reagents, redox mediators, and solid-contact layers.
• Develop electrode architectures using screen printing, thin-film deposition, and nanomaterial coatings.
• Conduct analytical characterization using CV, DPV, SWV, EIS, chronoamperometry, and potentiometry.
• Lead stability studies including drift, temperature sensitivity, humidity robustness, and shelf life.
• Support integration into microfluidic cartridges and ensure validation for IVD performance.

Education & Certification

• PhD or Master’s degree in Chemistry, Electrochemistry, Materials Science, Biomedical Engineering, or a related field.

Required Skills

• Strong expertise in electrochemical sensor design and electrode materials.
• Experience with analytical characterization techniques.
• Knowledge of diagnostic device development and microfluidic integration.
• Ability to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams.
