Applications are invited for a Technician in the Guder Research Group of Dr Firat Guder. The post aims to develop Roliner, an AI-controlled adaptive wearable fitting device to maximize prosthetic comfort and reduce complications caused by fitting problems. The project aims to solve the unmet medical need by combining microfluidics, programming, and medical device design. The successful applicant will join a highly technical and industrial team as part of the project to develop a device for industrial adaptation, as part of this industrial research grant.
The candidate will be responsible for (but not limited to) developing the programming, material testing, custom-made machinery design, and electronic board design. Because of the intense project timeline, the candidate must have experience in multi-tasking and problem-solving and should have a sufficient level of understanding of medical devices. The candidate will be expected to attend events and conferences in the UK and abroad, and therefore they should be flexible for traveling, when pandemic conditions permit.
We seek a highly motivated individual to fill this post, in possession of a master’s degree in biomedical engineering or a related discipline.
Responsibilities:
* Scientific research and product development activities including:
* Fabrication, testing, and optimization of microfluidic architectures and electronic circuits
* Development of custom-made testing equipment for experimental setups
* Product design, prototyping, and testing of robotic wearable devices (Roliner)
* Presenting findings to colleagues at internal and external meetings and conferences, developing animations and visual assets
* Drafting publications for scientific publication
* Assisting and supervising post-graduate students and visiting researchers
Collaboration:
Collaborating with the project partner, a manufacturing factory, to convey the scientific outputs for industrial applicability.
Minimum Requirements:
* Degree in biomedical engineering
* Developing systems and industrial experience in medical devices
* Experience in translational research
* Evidence of multi-disciplinary research excellence
The opportunity to work with world-leading experts, immerse in Imperial College London and the Department of Bioengineering, and be part of our mission to continue science for humanity. Sector-leading salary and remuneration package (including 39 days off a year and generous pension schemes).
