Bringing the lab to the sample!
At Next Generation Sensors B.V., we strive to bring the lab to the sample, developing portable devices based on mass-spectrometry and Near I_nfrared technology_ (NIR) that deliver rapid, on-site analysis for food safety, security screening and detection of illegal drugs. Our handheld devices like the Chemcorder, Portolab and Spotdetect are designed to simplify complex laboratory testing into intuitive, real-world applications that can be used by everyone. Whether you are a police officer or a farmer. We’re a small but ambitious team with diverse expertise and backgrounds. But united by a passion to make a safer world with innovative technology.
Role Overview
We are seeking a Hardware Full-stack Developer (to create a user interface that interacts with our devices for data acquisition) with data analysis and machine learning (ML) skills (for mass spectrometry and NIR)
You’ll work closely with R&D, Laboratory and Product Development teams to shape both embedded and cloud-connected solutions.
Tasks
- Develop a UI for portable MS and NIR-based devices.
- Develop a communication protocol between the UI and the MS/NIR device.
- Develop a data management system for the MS/NIR spectra, including a communication protocol with the dashboard.
- Develop ML/AI-based algorithm/model for MS/NIR data analysis (classification, detection, quantification etc).
- Blockchain technology knowledge will be an extra.
- Security protocol knowledge will be an extra.
- Participate in design reviews, sprint planning, and innovation discussions.
Requirements
- Master’s in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Embedded Systems, or related.
- Proficient in Angular, Electron, Fast API (Python), and MongoDB for desktop and backend application development
- Experience with microservices architecture, REST APIs, and distributed systems design
- Hands-on experience with hardware/device communication and real-time data acquisition/processing
- Knowledge of MS and NIR technology is required.
- Familiarity with cloud services (e.g., AWS/GCP/Azure), REST APIs, CI/CD pipelines.
- Experience in building algorithms for analytical devices.
- Excellent problem-solving skills and a passion for high-quality software.
- Experience with data analytics, signal processing and UX design.
- Fluency in the English language. English is the main language used in our office.
Benefits
- A creative and collaborative team where your work directly impacts on food safety, battling illegal drug trafficking and other societal solutions.
- Opportunity to work at the intersection of hardware and software in a high-tech environment.
- Flexible work arrangements and a culture that values autonomy and innovation.
- Exposure to a variety of disciplines and real technical challenges.
- Competitive compensation.
Why This Matters
Your software will help shape tools that improve rapid screening in food safety, border security, and societal protection, giving users actionable insights in minutes rather than days. You’ll be part of delivering real-world solutions that address global challenges.
