Sensor Scientist - Ottawa, ON, Canada - Hylid Diagnostics Inc

Description

Hylid Diagnostics is enabling at-home blood testing to change the lives of millions of people with various chronic diseases—giving them a level of control only experienced in diabetes.

We have an exciting opportunity for those skilled in the art of biosensor development, clinical (blood) chemistry, and physical chemistry.

Join us and help make a difference.
Our Sensor Scientist will be responsible for designing, prototyping, characterizing, and validating biosensors, as well as their manufacturing processes.

The successful candidate will participate in all phases of design including requirements definition, supporting analyses, material selection and specification, engineering execution, and verifications/validations.

This role also requires liaising with internal and external design teams to ensure seamless integration of all elements of the point-of-care blood analysis system, including the biosensors, fluidic system, and measuring instrument.
