Your mission

We are looking for a skilled Project Engineer (m / f / d) to strengthen our team and help shape the next generation of our role. You will be working at the interface of mechanical engineering and fluidics, taking responsibility for component selection, testing, and process optimization while collaborating closely with internal stakeholders and external partners.

• Lead adjustments and improvements to the preclinical Polarizer during the product lifecycle.
• Take responsibility for the fluidic processes within the Polarizer: drive component selection, fluid handling principles and process parameter decisions (e.g., pumping parameters, process variations).
• Create prototypes to support system improvements.
• Review critical designs and component choices from external partners and provide structured technical feedback.
• Drive the dimensioning and design of thermal and fluidic processes.
• Support with defining test strategies for engineering aspects of the fluidic process, conduct experiments, and supervise junior engineers in systematic test execution.
• Perform hands‑on lab testing with the preclinical Polarizer, evaluate results, and provide technical feedback.
• Work closely with our service team for 3rd level support and feedback collection.

Your profile

• Degree in Mechanical, Mechatronics, or Medical Engineering or a related technical field.
• 4 years of professional experience in an interdisciplinary R&D environment.
