At STEMCELL Technologies, we are developing high-throughput cell sorting technologies for clinical and research applications. We are seeking a Scientist with expertise in microfluidics to lead the design, optimisation, and testing of our MEMS-based sorting chips and fluidic cartridges, built on our patented VACS technology.

In this role, you will contribute scientific expertise, deliver experimental and simulation work, and collaborate closely with engineers and scientists across the company. This role is ideal for a postdoctoral researcher or experienced engineer looking to apply their skills in a hands-on, fast-paced commercial environment.

Job Description

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Plan and carry out experiments and simulations to support the development and optimisation of our next-generation microfluidic sorting chips and fluidic cartridges.
• Analyse experimental and simulation data, draw conclusions, and recommend next steps within the scope of assigned work.
• Use numerical simulation tools (e.g. COMSOL, ANSYS, OpenFOAM) to model chip performance and de-risk designs and contribute technical input to chip design, process decisions, and validation activities
• Write and run Python scripts for test automation and data analysis.
• Perform detailed performance analysis, summarise key findings, and present to findings to project teams and stakeholders; may represent the company in technical discussions with external partners, collaborators, or at conferences.
• Collaborate with external MEMS foundries to specify wafer builds, review process flows, and track fabrication progress.
• Work closely with internal teams across software, electronics, and biology to ensure smooth integration into the full system.
