Senior Analytical Chemist (Moe)

About Proton Intelligence Inc. We are developing subcutaneously implantable wearable sensors for chronic kidney disease and heart failure patients to improve their wellbeing and save lives. Our first product will be the first ever continuous potassium monitoring platform to prevent cardiac arrhythmia in patients with heart failure and chronic kidney disease. About The Role We are seeking a Senior Analytical Electrochemist to join our team in Melbourne. In this role, you will be responsible for the design, execution, and verification of our implantable potentiometric sensor assemblies, ensuring our technology meets the highest standards of performance and reliability. Key Responsibilities
- Design and execute electrochemical verification programs for implantable potentiometric sensor assemblies, including defining experimental methods, test conditions, and acceptance criteria.
- Develop and validate test apparatus and procedures (fixtures, instrumentation configurations, and measurement protocols) to assess electrical and analytical behavior.
- Characterize sensor performance and reliability through structured testing, including response dynamics, drift, stability, selectivity, and noise characteristics.
- Evaluate and improve sensor materials and manufacturing processes by identifying sensitivities and documenting build procedures for scale‑up.
- Analyze experimental datasets and produce technical documentation (results summaries, test reports) to support system requirements and electronics interface design.
- Collaborate with cross‑functional engineering teams to translate results into clear performance targets and design inputs. Required Skills & Qualifications
- Degree (MSc, MEng, or PhD) in Chemical Engineering, Analytical Chemistry, or a related field.
- Strong laboratory experience in analytical and experimental techniques specifically related to electrochemical sensors.
- Deep expertise in potentiometric sensors and chemical characterization techniques.
- Demonstrated ability to approach and resolve technical problems systematically and creatively.
- Self‑motivated with the ability to work autonomously and flexibly within a dynamic startup environment. Our Values We value Trust, Excellence, and Flexibility. We strive to maintain a protected workplace environment where everyone can grow, take risks, and stay accountable to our goals of improving patient wellbeing. Apply on Kit Job: kitjobau.com/job/3qe8tn
