Weve already changed millions of lives and were ready to change millions more. Our future ambition is to become a leading consumer health technology company while continuing to develop solutions for serious health conditions. Well get there by constantly reinventing unique biosensing-technology experiences. Though weve come a long way from our small company days our dreams are bigger than ever. The opportunity to improve health on a global scale stands before us.

Meet the team:

As a key member of the material science group within Dexcoms research and development organization the Staff Membrane Formulation Engineer is responsible for developing and validating novel membrane material formulation designs to address critical needs in cutting edge biosensor health products. The individual is expected to have a clear understanding of the technical and business challenges associated with biomaterial development in a regulated environment. Emphasizing expertise in thin film polymer membranes polymer solution and colloidal science and formulation engineering the scientist will work cross functionally to drive the creation of design requirements down select formulation chemistry develop and validate design/process to final specification identify and mitigate risks interface with external partners and collaborate with internal stake holders to drive projects to completion.

Where you come in:

• Drive material science excellence as a technical leader in thin film polymer membrane technology and polymer solution and colloidal science for various biosensor membrane modalities.

• Develop polymer binder-based membrane formulation designs that meet desired system level performance safety process scale and cost requirements.

• Plan and execute hands-on laboratory experiments identify critical variables and design trade-offs down-select and optimize critical formulation variables for form-fit-function on targeted applications while tracking and managing risk.

• Initiate and develop characterization tools and test methods to generate insights into structure-property-performance relationships and hence accelerate development cycle time.

• Plan and execute validation protocols and reports related to formulation preparation process formulation deposition process pot-life and shelf-life.

• Prepare technical documentation data analyses and presentations in compliance with GxP standards to guide product development and ensure alignment with FDA and international regulatory requirements.

• Identify procure and qualify critical raw materials and manage suppliers to support formulation development and commercialization.

• Perform comprehensive literature and patent reviews to identify new opportunities and materials for next-generation biosensor health products.

• Contribute to new IP generation efforts and with evaluation of technical clinical and commercial risks.

• Understand and adhere to all relevant laboratory safety protocols chemical hygiene and dispose of chemical waste according to company and local EH&S regulations.

What makes you successful:
