R&D Intern

We are developing a commercial system to perform stainings on tissue sections. The working principle is based on the distribution of reagents through a microfluidic chip.

During your internship, you will work with other engineers on the development of microfluidic chips towards their industrialization and on the functional testing and characterization of the overall system. To do so, you will develop test setups and data analysis processes to guarantee the robustness, functionality, and reproducibility of the devices. Your tasks as an intern within the R&D hardware team will be:

• Participate to the design, assembly, and testing of microfluidics chips, functional models, and prototypes.
• Characterize microfluidic chips and devices by performing measurements, collecting data, and presenting it.
• Support other R&D engineers on multidisciplinary projects.

At the end of the project, you will have had a first hands-on experience in the development and industrialization of microfluidic chips in an industrial environment.
