    • You will design and develop thoughtful DOE and testing protocols conducive to generation of rapid insights on structure-function behavior and design optimization.
    • Plan and execute experiments, identify critical variables and design trade-offs, screen and down-select formulation candidates for form-fit-function on targeted applications while maintaining a manageable business / commercial risk profile.
    • Document experimental details and analysis, author technical reports, present results to a wide audience of stakeholders, including progress reports, design reviews and phase exits.
    • Verify that performance objectives have been met via pre-clinical and clinical evaluations of novel designs.

    • Partner with design teams to align on design requirements, develop and test new sensor prototypes.
    • Other duties as assigned.

    What makes you successful:

    • Demonstrated knowledge of, and experience with, polymer solution physics and material science for product safety and form, fit, and function preferably in Class III medical applications.
    • Experience with formulation chemistry and membrane separation engineering.
    • Hands on experience with polymer synthesis and modification is highly desirable.
    • Experience with experimental design& planning, assay development, statistics, DOE techniques, data analysis methods and software (JMP, Python, or Matlab preferred).
    • Very strong analytical and experimental skills for small molecules, polymers, solution physics, and condense state (HPLC, LC/MS, Viscometer/Rheometer, Mechanical test (Instron), DLS, Zeta potential, SEM/EDX, XRF, confocal microscopy / interferometry, FT-IR, NMR, diffusion, and electrochemical characterization).
    • Experience with thin-film measurement (morphology, thickness).
    • Highly organized and detailed oriented.
    • Excellent communication (written and verbal), collaboration, and interpersonal skills.
    • Excellent work ethic, ability to deal with ambiguity/uncertainty, and willingness to learn.
    • Proven ability to work hands-on in a fast-paced environment.
    • Nice to have experience in medical device or other regulated industry.
