We are looking for someone with a PhD in experimental physics or materials science to spearhead the development of new instrumentation, analytical and metrology products.
If you are passionate about building equipment and looking for an opportunity to turn your obsession into real products and a new business unit within a successful small company, then this role could be for you.
About the Role
At Ossila, our engineers and scientists design and build new, innovative pieces of scientific equipment. We manufacture a wide range of products in Sheffield, including thin-film coating equipment, environmental control systems, and opto-electrical testing systems. In the next phase of our growth, we are expanding the number of products teams within the business and are seeking an experienced equipment-building scientist to develop new categories of instruments and equipment including analytical, processing, or measurement devices.
If you have ever thought that scientific equipment is overpriced and under-reliable, this is your opportunity to make a difference. Our goal is to offer our customers better quality and better value equipment than existing competitors by providing disruptive improvements in price and performance for the equipment we design and manufacture.
In this role, you will manage products through their entire life cycle, working alongside multiple teams including engineering, manufacturing, marketing, compliance, and customer care. You will be responsible for every aspect of the products you develop by:
As part of a small and fast-growing company, you will work both collaboratively and independently. This role will involve working on several concurrent tasks with different deadlines at the same time, with the need to re-prioritise as new tasks come in.
About You
We are looking for a postdoctoral physicist, materials scientist, analytical instrumentation chemist, or other laboratory scientist/engineer with several years of post-doctoral research experience and a strong equipment building background.
