About Impli
Impli is pioneering continuous hormone monitoring technology that will transform women's health and beyond. Impli’s platform represents the world's first implantable biosensor for real-time hormone tracking, starting with IVF applications and expanding into PCOS, menopause, cardiovascular, and oncology markets. We've secured grant funding and are backed by strategic partnerships. We're a team of 10 passionate innovators approaching first-in-human trials.
The Role
We're seeking a hands-on Biosensor Scientist to accelerate our platform development toward clinical validation. You'll lead biosensor optimisation, in vivo study preparation, and novel R&D initiatives. This role reports to our CSO and offers the opportunity to shape breakthrough medical technology from prototype to patient impact. Start immediately at our Birmingham facility (PHTA, University of Birmingham).
Key Responsibilities
• Biosensor development, including aptamer functionalization, electrochemical characterisation, and analytical validation

• Drive optimisation work to advance the platform
• Execute grant deliverables with cross-functional collaboration (engineering, clinical, regulatory teams)
• Contribute to novel R&D initiatives, expanding platform capabilities and applications
What We're Looking For
Cultural fit is paramount. You're a self-starter who thrives in startup environments, comfortable with ambiguity, fast deadlines, and uncharted territory. You take ownership, solve problems creatively, and stay motivated when the path isn't obvious.
Essential:
• PhD in relevant field (Bioengineering, Analytical Chemistry, Biochemistry) OR strong commercial biosensor development experience
• Hands-on expertise in electrochemical sensing and biorecognition-based detection
• In vitro biosensor experience (in vivo experience is a significant plus)
• Proficiency with electrochemical techniques, assay development, and sensor calibration
Highly Valued: 3+ years in biosensor development, aptamer-based sensor experience, medical device/ISO 13485 knowledge, continuous monitoring systems background
Why Join Impli
• Work on category-defining technology with massive clinical impact potential
• Collaborate with world-class partners (Imperial College, NHS, Bayer, leading MedTech advisors)
• Shape platform expansion across multiple high-value markets beyond our IVF beachhead
• Early-stage opportunity with growth trajectory and meaningful equity participation
