Readout Systems Engineer for Energy-Harvesting MedTech

Bioharv; Greater London; On-site; GBP 50,000 - 61,000; Full time

Benefits offered by this job

12-month fixed-term contract

Central role on funded project

Close collaboration with founders

Job summary

BioHarv Ltd in London (Somerset House) is seeking an Electrical Engineer to develop readout electronics for our energy-harvesting material and to run the electrical characterisation that proves performance.

You will own the signal chain end-to-end, designing and building circuits that capture low-level signals from the material and interface delicate samples to that electronics, generating the core measurement data.

Qualifications

• Experience designing analogue/mixed-signal readout circuits for small signals.
• Hands-on with standard electrical test instruments and low-noise measurement.
• Experience characterising sensor/energy-harvesting materials such as piezoelectric or triboelectric types.

Responsibilities

• Design, build and iterate readout and measurement circuits for low-level signals.
• Fine gold-wire interfacing and micro-soldering of delicate fibre samples under a microscope.
• Connect samples using conductive epoxy and fine wiring.
• Set up and run electrical measurements with SMU, oscilloscope and meters.
• Capture, process and plot measurement data in Python or MATLAB.
• Support benchmarking of fibre output against control samples.
• Work in a cleanroom environment for delicate interfacing steps.
• Maintain clear, well-organised experimental records.
• Demonstrate experience with analogue/mixed-signal readout circuits for small signals.
• Hands-on with test instruments and low-noise measurement practice.
• Data handling and scripting in Python or MATLAB.
• Work independently in a small, fast-moving team.
• Characterising sensor/energy-harvesting materials (piezoelectric, triboelectric).
• PCB design and embedded/microcontroller experience.
• Apply controlled mechanical deformation for benchmarking.
• General wet-lab competence (COSHH, solvents, sample prep).
