Your future job

Melexis is actively exploring new biosensor technologies for digital health applications in wearables, remote patient monitoring and in-vitro diagnostics (www.melexis.com/digital-health). As a Sensor Design Engineer at Melexis, you will drive the design of novel sensor concepts according to the technology roadmap of the innovation team.

More specifically, you will:

Lead the development of Melexis’ current integrated biosensing platform towards industrialization

Develop surface functionalization protocols and biosensing assays for the detection of health biomarkers

Conduct proof-of-concept studies demonstrating the biomarker detection performances in biological buffers as well as validation studies in clinical samples

Mature sensor prototypes, possibly in collaboration with industrial and academic partners.

Promote the technologies and seek feedback from prospective customers in the targeted application domains (wearable devices, point-of-care diagnostics, …).

Research other state-of-the-art transducer technologies to uncover opportunities in biosensing.

Propose novel biosensors based on biofunctionalized field-effect-transistor, biomagnetics, bio-optics, or other technologies.

Manage innovation projects and coach junior team members.

Your profile

Curious, open, creative and at ease with multidisciplinary system thinking.

Master or PhD degree in biomedical engineering, microtechnology, chemistry or equivalent.

Demonstrated expertise in at least one sensor-rich digital health application.

Excellent knowledge of electrical and optical biosensing concepts in general (electrochemical, BioFET, impedimetric, etc)

5 years of professional R&D experience.

Hand-on experience with surface functionalization methods, such as antibodies and DNA grafting, enzyme immobilization, passivation and blocking

Familiarity with integrated circuits and microfluidics.

Data analysis skills in Python or equivalent.

Working knowledge of project management.

Ideally, knowledge of the product development life cycle for medical devices and of the Medical Device Regulation (MDR)

Effective communication skills in English, incl. publication of scientific articles.
