Bioherent is pioneering state-of-the-art photonic biosensors to transform clinical diagnostics. As a deep-tech spin-off from the University of Málaga, our cutting-edge biosensor technology is built on decades of research in photonics, chemistry, and clinical sciences. We are now scaling our technology to bring high-impact diagnostic solutions to market. Join us now to take on a high-impact leadership role in shaping next-generation medical diagnostics—while living in one of Europe’s most sought-after cities.

Why join us?

• Lead the transition from prototype to production of a novel biosensor system.
• Be a key player in a rapidly growing deep-tech company with a multidisciplinary team.
• Work on disruptive biosensing technology with real-world healthcare impact.
• Build a project from the ground up with a truly relevant socioeconomic impact.
• Collaboration with top experts in photonics, chemistry, and medicine.

Key Responsibilities

As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you will lead the productization and manufacturing of Bioherent’s biosensor systems, ensuring a scalable, cost-efficient, and regulatory-compliant transition from R&D to commercial production. You will drive mechanical innovation, manufacturability, and quality assurance, collaborating with cross-functional teams in photonics, microfluidics, and electronics. Your responsibilities will include:

Productization & Manufacturing Scale-up

• Own the mechanical design process—from prototyping to full-scale production.
• Optimize mechanical housing and microfluidic components for manufacturability.
• Develop scalable manufacturing strategies, working with contract manufacturers.
• Drive cost reduction efforts to ensure efficient mass production.

Design, Validation & Compliance

• Design mechanical assemblies using CAD software (SolidWorks, CATIA, Fusion 360).
• Conduct tolerance analysis, GD&T, and DFM / DFA for robust manufacturing.
• Validate designs with FEA / CFD simulations (fluidics and thermal management).
• Perform risk assessments (FMEA) and failure analysis to ensure reliability.

Cross-functional Collaboration

• Bridge the gap between mechanical, photonic, and microfluidic design.
• Support regulatory documentation (ISO 13485, MDR / FDA compliance).
• Define quality control guidelines and assembly procedures to streamline production.

Who You Are

• You successfully transitioned prototypes into commercial products.
• Experience with contract manufacturing, design transfer, and production methods.
• You enjoy building, testing, and refining prototypes.
• You are familiar with ISO 13485, FDA / MDR regulations.
• You work well in fast-paced, multidisciplinary environments.

Required Skills

• Bachelor’s or master’s in mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, or a related field.
• 4 years of experience in mechanical design & product development.
• Advanced CAD proficiency (SolidWorks, CATIA, Fusion 360).
• Deep knowledge of manufacturing processes (CNC, injection molding, etc.).
• Strong understanding of microfluidics and sealing techniques for biosensors.
• Strong understanding of mechanical tolerancing, GD&T, and DFM principles.
• Experience working with contract manufacturers and scaling production.
• Fluent in English (spoken and written).

Preferred Skills

• Experience in IVD or diagnostic device development.
• Knowledge of biocompatible materials and sterilization techniques.
• Familiarity with fluidic simulation tools (COMSOL, ANSYS Fluent).
• Hands-on experience with sensor integration in biosensing systems.
