We are a high-caliber team building the sensing and AI infrastructure for autonomous biomanufacturing: real-time electrochemical biosensors, closed-loop AI process control, and our bioreactor platform. We work alongside major technology partners in the sensing, computing, and industrial automation space. This is not a large-company role. We hire people who personally do the work at the highest level.

Role Summary

This is a hands-on bench electrochemistry role. You will personally design, develop, and troubleshoot electrochemical biosensors at the core of our real-time inline analytics platform. You are not managing a lab — you are running the experiments yourself.

Key Responsibilities

Design and develop electrochemical sensors for real-time biomanufacturing monitoring applications.
Personally perform bench work: electrode fabrication, surface modification, calibration, and characterization.
Diagnose and resolve sensor performance issues such as drift, fouling, interference, and signal degradation.
Evaluate sensor performance under realistic bioprocess conditions, including relevant matrices and operating ranges.
Work closely with the electronics team to optimize the sensor-to-hardware signal interface.
Maintain rigorous lab documentation, including experimental protocols and lab notebooks.
Support scale-up and manufacturability of sensor chemistries and fabrication processes.
Stay current with developments in electrochemistry and biosensor science relevant to our platform.

Requirements

MSc or PhD in Analytical Chemistry, Electrochemistry, Biochemistry, or a closely related field.
Demonstrated hands-on bench experience with electrochemical sensors (e.g., amperometric, potentiometric, or related techniques).
Practical experience with electrode fabrication and surface chemistry.
Strong troubleshooting instincts and comfort working through ambiguous, unsolved problems at the bench.
Comfortable in a small-team environment where you personally execute the work, start to finish.

Nice to Have

Experience developing sensors for bioprocessing, fermentation, or cell culture environments.
Experience taking a sensor technology from early prototype through to field deployment.
Publication record in electrochemical sensing or related fields.
