About SAVA

All the health information we need is within us. Just below the skin. SAVA is redefining the way people interact with their health by developing the most advanced biosensing technology science has to offer, capable of accessing bodily information in a painless, real-time and affordable way.

The Role

We’re looking for a passionate Process Development Engineer to turn manual workflows into robust, scalable manufacturing processes. This onsite role sits at the intersection of hands-on experimentation and data-driven decision-making, working from early prototypes through to production-ready systems. It offers the opportunity to work at the cutting edge of product realisation in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary environment.

You’ll collaborate across internal teams such as Sensor Development, Automated Equipment, Mechanical Engineering, and Data Engineering , as well as external vendors and suppliers to transform uncharacterised manual or semi-automated processes into well-defined, optimised, and monitored manufacturing workflows.

You will act as the subject matter expert for 2–4 manufacturing processes, defining process windows and recipes, characterising limits, and optimising for quality, yield, and throughput—enabling seamless integration with evolving product designs.

This is a role for engineers who thrive in ambiguity, define acceptance criteria (or adapt existing ones), push processes from nominal functionality to tightly controlled, validated performance, communicate clearly, and take full ownership of processes and cross-functional alignment — building processes and performance metrics that work not just in theory, but at scale.

What You’ll Do

Process Development

• Develop scalable, repeatable processes from early manual or semi-automated stages
• Define process parameters, windows, and manufacturing recipes
• Characterise process limits and optimise for yield, throughput, and stability

Why Sava?

This is a high-ownership, high-responsibility role in a company that’s building something complex, meaningful, and fast. The expectations are high, the learning curve is steep, and the work is often messy—but the impact is real.

We don’t have room for egos or passengers. What we do have is a team of thoughtful, driven, and mission-aligned people who are committed to building something better—and doing it with urgency and integrity.
