The assignment

Design experiments for microfluidic device testing. Discuss and align with project leaders and senior scientists.
Characterize and test microfluidics devices. This typically includes: (a) device preparations (eg surface coating), (b) device characterizations (eg electrical impedance measurements), (c) device programming based on existing software, (d) device testing (eg droplet generations and actuations).
Program and operate multidisciplinary setups (driving circuits, microscopes, surface characterizations tools), after receiving proper training and necessary support from internal employees.
Analyze, interpret and report experimental data to the project team.
Work according to agreed customer timelines and report on progress internally and to customers.
Manage time effectively according to aggressive project schedules and possibly among multiple projects simultaneously.
Quickly adapt to new project requirements.
Work closely with an interdisciplinary team of physicists, engineers and biologists.

Required Knowledge And Skills

Fresh PhD or master degree with minimum 2-year experience, preferably with electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, chemical engineering or physics background.
Knowledge & experience in electro-fluidic principles in microfluidics such as electrowetting-on-dielectric, dielectrophoresis, impedance spectroscopy.
Experience in microfluidics device testing and preferably also microfluidic set-up construction.
Experience with instrumentation and signal processing software (eg LabVIEW, Python, Matlab) is a strong plus.
Modelling skills such as SPICE, ANSYS, COMSOL etc. is a plus.

Additional Skills

It is essential that you have strong analytical skills and can perform data processing using analytical or computational tools.
You have experience working in a research or development environment with an interdisciplinary team
You are a team player.
