Job Detail

We are offering an opportunity for an internship in our BGE (Blood Gas & Electrolytes) Sensor Development Team to a team-oriented, inquisitive and motivated person. Our Team «BGE Sensors & Electrodes» develops, characterizes and optimizes different electrochemical sensors for medical devices in the area of IVD diagnostics (measurement of blood gases, electrolytes and metabolites) to measure various parameters in whole blood. To be able to deliver the desired products, we select electrochemical, optical or enzymatic measuring principles and develop the corresponding sensor.

To support our development team, we offer an internship (or master thesis work) for ca. 6 months (can be adjusted according to your needs). We can offer you a very interesting introduction and insight into the complex and challenging sensor development work, sensors that are used in medical device around the world.

As an intern, you have the following main tasks:

• You collaborate with our technical experts in the development and improvement of sensors for blood gas analytics


• You help investigate aspects of the sensor design by planning and conducting different physical and chemical experiments and tests. You support the functional testing of the sensors and analyze the data


• Your support the development team with your scientific background and you will learn to understand, characterize and optimize complex, electrochemical sensors and processes


• You will work on your own work packages, plan and conduct experiments and write the corresponding analysis and documentation. For this, you have access to different analytical methods and tools to analyze sensors (or materials) and use data analysis tools to compile a report on your technical work

You ideally have the following qualifications and experiences:

• You are currently enrolled as a student or recently completed your education in a technical area (for example Master/PhD in a Technical University (FH/ETH/…)), ideally in Electrical Engineering, Physics / Chemistry / Material Sciences)



• You are looking to gather first experiences in an industrial environment and want to get the opportunity to get insight into the development environment in a leading medical device company or you are looking to do a master thesis (or similar) in an industrial environment


• You are interested in learning to develop electrochemical sensors, producing and testing these sensors and in the efficient analysis of the gathered data


• You have a structured and self-reliant way in executing experiments and documenting their results


• You are an open, flexible and team-oriented person


• You have good knowledge of spoken and written English and German

Start date: November 2019

Workload: 100%

Duration: 6 months
