A new opportunity has arisen for a Microfluidic Technician to contribute to the design of a microfluidics-based bioprocessing platform, by performing microfabrication to consistently develop, fabricate, prepare microfluidic chips. This position will allow you to join an award-winning start-up organisation focused on a break-through bioprocessing platform for the CGT market.

Please note that to be considered for this role you must have the right to work in this location.

Job Responsibilities:

• Responsible to perform microfabrication methods in company sites to prepare chips using but not limited to soft lithography, stamping, bonding.
• Problem-solve with the team on designs, microfabrication protocols.
• To perform occasional hydrodynamic flow experiments on fabricated microfluidic chips to understand fluid streamline behaviour necessary to optimise design. This is performed in conjunction with optical microscope imaging.
• Partake in supplier selection, and adjacent system design.

Requirements:

• Requires at least a BSc in Engineering with focus in Fluid Mechanics/Hydrodynamics/Microfluidics (or related fields) with extensive microfabrication experience working in a clean room.
