Intro Are you passionate about mechanical engineering, robotics and eager to contribute to the future of life-science research? Do you have experience in or want to learn more about hardware development, incorporating peripheral devices such as cameras, sensors, and motors? Then join our robotics startup in Freiburg, Germany, and become part of our mission to advance biomedical research with our cutting-edge technology. Pipetting is a crucial yet repetitive task in laboratories, involving the transfer of precise volumes of liquid for various research purposes. Despite its importance, pipetting is still performed manually in the majority of research labs. As a result, human error can lead to false outcomes, wasted consumables, and increased cost. Our smart robotic solution, goodbot, addresses these challenges by automating pipetting tasks. As a Hardware Developer, you will play a crucial role in the development of our groundbreaking product. Working independently and as part of our interdisciplinary team, you will collaborate closely with other departments, designing, developing, and testing hardware components for goodbot. Apart from this, you will have the opportunity to learn about robotics, mechanical engineering, 3D printing, and life sciences in general. This position is based in Freiburg (Germany) and is not remote. We offer flexible working hours to accommodate your study schedule. Tasks Design, develop, and test hardware components for goodbot Collaborate with the front-end development team to ensure seamless hardware-software integration Work independently and take ownership of your tasks and projects Devise smart, custom solutions that fit our robot Learn and engage in various aspects of electronics, robotics, mechanical engineering, 3D printing, software development, and life sciences Contribute to the ongoing improvement and success of our robotic solutions Requirements You are currently studying electrical engineering, embedded systems, computer science, or a related field You have experience or a strong interest in hardware development, especially for power and space limited devices You know how to use CAD software Soldering, using multimeters or oscilloscopes do not scare you Previous knowledge of or strong interest in signal processing or machine learning for data acquisition and handling, are a welcome bonus You communicate openly and enjoy exchanging ideas and working within a small interdisciplinary team You work reliably and independently You enjoy learning new skills Benefits Be an integral part of the development team, not just "the student" Small team with a strong focus on open communication and good companionship Versatile and multifaceted work with flexible working hours Learn how to organize your workload Contribute to the development of groundbreaking robotic solutions in the life-science industry Opportunity to learn and take responsibility in various fields, such as electronics, robotics, mechanical engineering, and software development Gain valuable experience in a startup environment Closing If you are interested, please feel free to contact us (preferably with your CV). We look forward to getting in touch with you.
