Careers

ELDICO Scientific is growing, with a clear focus on turning advanced electron diffraction into a reliable, product-grade platform.

Over the past years, we have built a strong technical organization. Today, more than 20 engineers and specialists—working closely with selected industrial partners, including leading engineering companies and key component suppliers—collaborate to bring dedicated electron diffraction into real-world use.

Building and scaling a complex scientific instrument requires more than technology. It requires people who care about robustness, quality, and long-term impact. As ELDICO continues to grow and mature as an organization, we are expanding our team with professionals who want to contribute to developing, productizing, and operating a technology that enables reliable access to structural certainty in regulated industrial environments.

Explore our current opportunities below—we look forward to connecting.

Sales Manager – Global Pharmaceutical Markets

ELDICO Scientific AG is a Swiss instrumentation company pioneering three-dimensional electron diffraction (3D-ED) technology. Our electron diffractometer enables pharmaceutical companies to solve crystal structures from nanometer-sized samples – addressing analytical challenges conventional X-ray methods cannot solve.

ELDICO is fundamentally an instrumentation company – the electron diffractometer is our core product. However, our route to market recognizes that innovative analytical technology requires customer education and demonstrated value before equipment investment makes sense.

The Role

Build pharmaceutical customer relationships:

Develop opportunities (50%): Engage pharma, CRO and CDMO organizations; introduce electron diffraction methodology; navigate multi-stakeholder buying processes
Close instrument deals (30%): Convert qualified opportunities to instrument sales; coordinate technical validations; manage complex procurement
Market presence (20%): Represent ELDICO at conferences; customer visits; competitive intelligence; contribute to commercial process development

We’re Looking For:

  • Commercial experience
  • Analytical instrumentation sales (e.g. XRD, Raman, NMR, HPLC) in pharma
  • Field application scientist → sales transition
  • Life sciences degree (MSc) or equivalent industry experience

Location: Europe/Americas (hybrid/remote), regular Basel presence required
Travel: 20-30%
Compensation: by agreement
