Senior Research Scientist – Systems

Who they are

Verso Biosense are developing novel sensing platforms designed to generate continuous biological insight in an area of medicine that remains poorly understood. Their work combines advanced engineering, sensing technologies, materials science, embedded systems, and human physiology to develop next-generation implantable monitoring technologies.

They are a highly collaborative R&D organisation where scientists and engineers work across traditional discipline boundaries to investigate complex system-level challenges. The successful candidate will contribute directly to research direction, experimental development, and core system design within a technically strong and intellectually driven team.

Verso Biosense are seeking a Senior Research Scientist with a background in implantable devices and/or miniature biosensing platforms to join our highly specialised R&D team developing next-generation implantable medical technology.

This is an opportunity to play a key role in the development of novel biosensing technologies within a multidisciplinary deep-tech healthcare company. Working across engineering, materials, electronics, and biological systems, you will contribute directly to research activities spanning theoretical modelling, experimental validation, and prototype development. The role offers substantial scientific depth, technical autonomy, and the opportunity to help shape emerging healthcare technologies with significant long-term potential.
