About the Organisation
We are cross-trained experts who specialize in shortening the neuroproduct development process and design time to market. Each stage of our process is led by an experienced, multifaceted team member in fields such as electronics/mechanical design, software programming, neuroscience and materials engineering, electrode design and neuro-stimulation/neuromonitoring. We act as a hands-on product technology and development arm.
About the Role
Join the Novabioelectrics team and become part of an innovative and driven team, passionate about building and developing neuroscience, bioelectrics, and biochip medical devices (both wearable and implantable). We work with early-stage companies, neuroscientists, entrepreneurs, clinicians and R&D department customers. We are looking to build our R&D team in Cardiff with people who are driven, looking for a challenge, and can work cross disciplinary. You will have the opportunity to develop electrochemical sensors, as well as new and customized versions of existing and next generation Bioelectronics Technologies (incl. wearables and implantable, electronics hardware, bio compatibility, materials, electrode design, software / app interfaces, and safety testing). You will also have the chance to lead project efforts and R&D processes. More so, you will lead and apply for grant funding and collaborations.
