Careers

Microfluidic Engineer

Evoralis, a spin-out from the University of Cambridge, is on a mission to enable the textile industry to become truly sustainable and circular. We use an ultra-fast screening platform to develop enzymes for breaking down mixed and blended textile fibres into their constituent building blocks to produce virgin-grade textile fibres.

 

Key responsibilities:

  • Be a pivotal figure in the company’s microfluidic activities, providing technical leadership and expertise while driving the development, integration, and application of microfluidic technologies across multidisciplinary projects

  • Lead the experimental validation and iterative optimisation of microfluidic performance (e.g. droplet generation, flow control, sorting of droplets)

  • Maintain the microfluidic platform and bring innovative approaches for platform development

  • Design and develop microfluidic devices and technologies to screen for plastic depolymerising enzymes

  • Lead efforts in microfluidic device fabrication and testing

  • Analyse and interpret experimental data

  • Proactively engage and collaborate with researchers across disciplines, including Biochemists, Chemists, Bioinformaticians, and other scientific specialists.

  • Maintaining records of experimental work

 

Skills, qualifications and experience needed:

  • A Master's degree or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or related field with focus on microfluidics

  • Experience in developing and integrating optical/optofluidic systems for detection, measurement or sorting

  • Competence in programming for instrument control (e.g. LabVIEW)

  • Hands-on experience in droplet microfluidics

  • Proficiency in CAD tools (e.g. AutoCAD) for microfluidic design

  • Experience with microfabrication techniques such as photolithography and PDMS molding

 

Why Evoralis?

  • Be part of the solution, making plastics and textiles truly sustainable and circular

  • Work on cutting-edge technologies with real-world impact

  • Be part of a pioneering team with experts in protein engineering, synthetic biology, polymer chemistry, and microfluidics

  • We offer a full-time position based at NIAB – Co-Labs by Journey in Cambridge
