Job Description

SRG are delighted to be working with an innovative diagnostics organistion based in Scotland's Central belt as they look for a microfluidics engineer to support their product development function. As Microfluidics Engineer you will be responsible for the design and development of microfluidic architectures using CAD. You will then utilise computational fluid dynamics simulations to optimise fluid flow. Working alongside a scientific team you will automate assay development workflow designing prototypes for testing. You will adapt designs for high-volume injection moulding which will include managing draft angles, wall thickness and tool inserts. In summary this role will focus on translating early-stage prototype concepts into scalable, manufacturable products using advanced polymer processing and microfabrication techniques. Working within a multidisciplinary R&D environment, the successful candidate will contribute to the design, development and validation of high-performance disposable cartridges and consumables for diagnostic applications.

  • Translating early-stage prototype concepts into scalable, manufacturable products using advanced polymer processing and microfabrication techniques
  • Contribute to the design, development and validation of high-performance disposable cartridges and consumables for diagnostic applications

Requirements

  • Deep, demonstrable understanding of injection moulding, including tool cooling and the impact of moulding parameters
  • Experience with metrology tools such as SEM
  • Knowledge of surface modification techniques
  • Expert-level knowledge in microfluidic flow systems
  • Demonstrable proficiency with CAD, or similar software
  • Relevant qualification (Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, etc.)
  • Prior experience in the IVD or medical device industry, ideally with experience working on plastic consumables
