, marking a major milestone in our journey to deliver greater value to our customers. By combining our strengths, we're accelerating innovation, supporting critical workflows, and delivering world-class service across the biopharmaceutical and clinical markets.

Nova Biomedical is seeking an experienced Senior/Staff Scientist to lead the technical design, development, and optimization of novel biosensors for our next‑generation clinical and biopharmaceutical platforms.

As a technical expert in potentiometric and/or amperometric sensors, this individual will serve as a hands‑on technical lead, driving the development of sensor architectures from initial feasibility through verification and validation. The Senior or Staff Scientist will work at the intersection of materials science, surface chemistry, electrochemistry, and advanced algorithm development to ensure sensor performance, reliability, durability, and manufacturability.

This position will collaborate closely with scientists, engineers, Manufacturing, Quality, and Regulatory partners while providing technical guidance and mentorship to junior scientists and research associates.

• Serve as the technical lead for amperometric and/or potentiometric sensor development and optimization projects.
• Lead the design, development, and optimization of novel biosensor architectures from feasibility through verification and validation.
• Design and optimize sensors for the detection of electrolytes, metabolites, or gases in clinical biofluids and biopharmaceutical samples.
• Apply expertise in electrochemistry, materials science, and surface chemistry to improve sensor performance and reliability.
• Optimize sensor use life and shelf life.
• Develop algorithms that maximize sensor performance and reduce read time.
• Design, plan, and conduct experiments independently.
• Analyze complex experimental data and clearly communicate findings, recommendations, and conclusions.
• Apply statistical and computational tools to model electrochemical systems and visualize complex datasets.
• Collaborate with Manufacturing Engineering to develop robust, scalable manufacturing processes and process controls.
• Support the transition of new sensor technologies and manufacturing processes from development into production.
• Partner with Regulatory and Quality teams to develop analytical verification and validation plans.
• Ensure sensor development activities align with applicable design controls and quality system requirements.
• Participate in or lead root‑cause investigations and troubleshooting activities for new product development and sustaining engineering projects.
• Identify technical risks and develop appropriate mitigation strategies.
• Prepare and review technical reports, protocols, presentations, and other development documentation.
• Provide technical mentorship and guidance to junior scientists and research associates.
• Promote an environment focused on scientific rigor, technical excellence, collaboration, and innovation.
• Collaborate effectively with cross‑functional teams to meet project timelines, technical objectives, and quality requirements.
• Maintain current knowledge of emerging biosensor technologies, electrochemical methods, materials, fabrication processes, and analytical techniques.

• Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry, Electrochemistry, Materials Science, Biomedical Engineering, or a related scientific or engineering discipline required.
• Three to five years of…
