Manage and implement the creation of bespoke firmware for operation of the electrochemical sensor system.
Collaborate with a multi-disciplinary commercially-aligned Tyndall team of researchers and engineers to develop and test a multiparameter electrochemical sensor solution.
Drive innovation in the project through evaluation of current state of the art and associated IP landscape, precise definition of user requirements specifications, and design, testing, and characterization of the novel sensor system.
Prepare technical reports, invention disclosures, and presentations for internal and external stakeholders.
Essential Criteria:
A PhD in electronic engineering or an equivalent discipline of science or engineering, or a minimum of four years R&D experience in electrochemical instrumentation design in academic or industry.
A demonstrated track record of postgraduate experience in the development of novel electrochemical biosensor devices.
A demonstrated track record of developing working prototype electrochemical sensor devices.
Evidence of experience working on commercially focused R&D projects.
Strong communication skills.
Desirable Criteria:
Experience in collaborating with researchers in electrochemistry involved in the design and development of sensor solutions.
Track record of engaging with external customers for development of system specifications.
Experience in developing novel healthtech sensor solutions and systems compliant with regulatory requirements.
Tyndall National Institute is an Equal Opportunities Employer. Informal inquiries can be made in confidence to Dr. Paul Galvin, Head of Life Sciences Interface Group. The closing date for applications is 1 pm, 8th October 2025.
