Biomedical Engineer

Job Title: Early Diagnostic Kit Developer (Biomedical Engineering)

Department: R&D – Point-of-Care Diagnostics

Employment Type: Full-Time

Role Overview

· We are seeking an experienced Early Diagnostic Kit Developer with a strong Biomedical Engineering background to lead the development of rapid, point-of-care diagnostic kits.

· This role focuses on assay–device integration, lateral flow system design, biomarker translation into devices, and development of clinically reliable prototypes suitable for early disease detection.

· It is ideal for professionals who have previous hands-on experience in developing diagnostic kits (LFA / IVD / rapid tests) and understand both biological assays and device engineering constraints.

Key Responsibilities

· Design and develop lateral flow–based diagnostic kits for early disease detection.

· Translate biomarker science into device-compatible assay architectures.

· Optimize strip design, membrane selection, pad architecture, and fluidics.

· Work on antibody–nanoparticle conjugation systems and assay chemistry optimization

· Integrate plasma separation membranes for whole-blood compatibility.

· Develop and evaluate prototype cassettes, strip layouts, and user interfaces

· Conduct analytical performance testing (LoD, specificity, repeatability, stability).

· Support scale-up feasibility, manufacturability, and design-for-production.

· Prepare technical documentation, SOPs, and design validation reports.

· Collaborate with clinical, regulatory, and product teams for translation readiness.

Required Qualifications

Bachelor’s/Master’s or Ph.D. degree in Biomedical Engineering

(or closely related disciplines such as Medical Devices Engineering, Bioinstrumentation, Clinical Engineering, or Translational Engineering)

2–7 years of direct experience in early diagnostic kit development, including

· Lateral flow assays (LFA

· Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs)

· Point-of-care or IVD devices

Proven hands-on experience with

· LFA strip architecture and cassette design

· Membrane selection (nitrocellulose, sample pads, conjugate pads)

· Assay-device integration

· Prototype development and troubleshooting

Strong understanding of:

· Immunoassay principles (sandwich assays preferred)

· Fluidics and capillary flow in paper-based devices

· Signal generation and visual readout systems

Preferred Experience & Skills

· Prior experience working on early detection or screening diagnostics (oncology, infectious disease, metabolic disease)

· Experience integrating whole blood into point-of-care devices.

· Familiarity with gold nanoparticle–based detection systems.

· Understanding of analytical validation parameters (LoD, specificity, cross-reactivity).

· Exposure to design controls, ISO 13485 workflows, or IVD documentation.

· Ability to work in fast-paced, early-stage R&D environments with high ownership.

What We’re Looking For

· A hands-on diagnostic engineer, not a purely academic researcher.

· Someone who understands how to convert biomarker science into a usable product.

· Strong problem-solving ability in assay-device integration.

· Comfortable working with ambiguity, early prototypes, and iterative development.

Why Join Us

· Opportunity to work on first-in-class early diagnostic technologies.

· Ownership of core diagnostic platform development.

· Exposure to the full lifecycle: concept → prototype → validation → scale-up.

High scientific rigor with real-world clinical impact.
