Wat ga je doen? technische job Microfluidic Designer

For this assignment we are looking for a researcher with a strong technical background in the field of microfluidics.

What will you do?

Design novel microfluidic devices for life sciences applications.
Perform simulation, modeling and analytical evaluation of device performance using tools such as COMSOL, ANSYS, Matlab or other equivalent software packages.
Evaluate the device robustness and design fault-tolerant microfluidic systems.
Work closely with an interdisciplinary team of engineers and biologists.
Manage time effectively according to project schedules.
