Lead Scientist – Electrochemical Biosensor Development

MedTech

Position Type: Full Time

Experience: 8+ Years

Close on: 30 Mar 2026

Position Description

We are seeking an experienced Lead Scientist – Electrochemical Biosensor Development will lead the design and development of advanced electrochemical sensors for blood chemistry analytes such as sodium (Na⁺), potassium (K⁺), glucose, creatinine, and key kidney and liver markers.

This role will focus on developing high-performance biosensors for diagnostic applications, driving innovations in electrode chemistry, sensor architecture, and analytical performance.

The position will work cross-functionally with electronics, microfluidics, and biochemical teams to translate laboratory sensor concepts into reliable and scalable diagnostic products.

Key Responsibilities

Design and develop electrochemical sensors including ion-selective electrodes (ISEs), enzymatic sensors, and mediator-based detection systems. Formulate and optimize ion-selective membranes, enzyme reagents, redox mediators, and solid-contact layers to enhance sensitivity, selectivity, and stability. Develop electrode architectures using techniques such as screen printing, thin-film deposition, and nano-material coatings. Conduct analytical characterization using electrochemical techniques such as cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), square wave voltammetry (SWV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), chronoamperometry, and potentiometry. Lead stability studies evaluating drift, hysteresis, temperature sensitivity, humidity robustness, and shelf life. Support integration of sensors into microfluidic cartridges and ensure successful design verification and validation for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) performance.
