Senior Scientist Biophotonics & Spectroscopy (m/w/d) - #2117151

Your mission

In order to strengthen our development of a new, miniaturized infrared spectrometer, we are looking for you as an energetic Senior Expert in Spectroscopy who designs, performs and analyzes biomedical experiments and who flourishes when turning the prototype into a product. The position is embedded in a small but powerful team and it requires an independent way of working along with a decision-based way of thinking. With your analytical skills, you will identify weak points in the system and develop solutions to improve the product. As a deep-tech startup, we are looking for truly multi-talented individuals.

• Planning, execution, and analysis of spectroscopic measurements on upper skin layers.
• Application and evaluation using the RiverD Raman Spectrometer.
• Development of advanced analytical methods.
• Independent laboratory work with a strong focus on quality.
• Close collaboration with interdisciplinary teams and external partners.
• Identifying potential optimizations in the measurement process.Your Profile
