The successful candidate will play a key role in advancing ONT’s core chip platforms through hands‑on experimental development, detailed characterisation, and data‑driven performance improvement. Working primarily in lab environments, you will design and run experiments that deepen our understanding of chip and flow cell behaviour, helping to improve current products and shape future platform development. This is a highly cross‑disciplinary role, suited to someone who enjoys combining practical experimental science with thoughtful analysis, technical problem‑solving, and confidence in approaching complex scientific challenges. You will work closely with colleagues across other departments, such as Research, Engineering and Production, using a range of analytical, electrical and imaging techniques to investigate performance, identify improvement opportunities and translate findings into real product impact.
