Microfluidic Engineer

Join Evoralis to develop enzymes for a circular plastic economy 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 based on microfluidics to develop enzymes for breaking down mixed and blended textile fibres into their constituent building blocks to produce virgin-grade textile fibres. Key responsibilities: · Play a pivotal role in our wet lab team · Design and develop microfluidic devices and technologies for ultrafast screening for plastic depolymerizing enzymes · Conduct experimental validation and iterative optimization of fluidic performance (e.g. droplet generation, flow control, sorting of droplets) · Lead efforts in microfluidic device fabrication and testing · Maintain microfluidic platform and bring innovative approaches for platform development · Analyze and interpret experimental data · 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 with the development and building of optical or optofluidic systems · Competence in programming for instrument control (e.g. LabVIEW) · Proficiency in CAD tools (e.g. AutoCAD) for microfluidic design · Experience with microfabrication techniques such as photolithography and PDMS molding · Hands-on experience in droplet microfluidics (desired) 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 the NIAB – Co-Labs by Journey in Cambridge. Ready to make a tangible impact on the future of textiles and sustainability? To apply please send your application to hr@evoralis.com by 5 th June 2025. Let's make textiles truly circular together.
