About ArgusEye:
ArgusEye is a Swedish company developing and providing innovative sensor systems for the biopharma industry. Our vision is to become a leading provider of integrated sensor systems to improve the efficiency and accuracy of biopharmaceutical manufacturing processes. Today, the manufacture of several of our most important medicines is dependent on time-consuming off-site tests that both complicate the manufacture and contribute to more expensive medicines, which also makes these medicines inaccessible to a large part of the population. With the help of ArguEye’s technology, this problem can be circumvented, and the manufacturing of the medicine can be made more efficient while making them more accessible to those who need them. By working as an R&D Lab Engineer at ArgusEye, you will have an important part in this work and contribute to a better future.
The company was founded in 2017 and is currently in a scale-up phase, going from start-up to an established company. The patented technology is the result of extensive academic research at Linköping University and is based on nanoplasmonic sensing combined with fiber optics.
