Paid Working Student: Medical Device Design and Engineering

[…] AG is an award-winning Zürich medtech company on a mission to change how chronic and acute wounds are treated. Our lead indication is diabetic foot ulcers, a condition with one of the highest mortality rates in healthcare. Our breakthrough COMS® therapy (Concurrent Optical and Magnetic Stimulation) is a non-invasive treatment that delivers physical stimulation to deep tissue for wound healing.

Our team of biologists, engineers and designers combines high-quality medical research with a close focus on the people who use our devices. Our vision: life shouldn't be defined by a medical condition.

• Develop and evaluate concepts for the packaging, fixation and accessories of a medical device
• Design geometry variants in CAD and produce them including additive manufacturing
• Build functional prototypes and demonstrators and test them for handling and fit
• Help develop a test setup that recognizes single-use components, from requirements to a working demonstration
• Document designs, tests and decisions so they can feed into regulated product development

• Enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program in industrial design, product design, mechanical/medical engineering or a related field
• Hands-on skills in CAD and prototyping, including 3D printing
• An independent, structured way of working and careful documentation
• English, German is a plus
