Location: 64293 Darmstadt, Germany

Position: full time

Date: starting now

Overview: 

As a systems & software engineer you play a critical role in the development, implementation and optimization of 3D bioprinting software, firmware, GUI and electrical components. You will take on research and development activities as well as project management tasks.



Your tasks will be: 

• Hardware development & electronics: Selection and integration of electronic hardware components for our 3D bioprinters (e.g. controllers, sensors, drivers, motors).

• Creation of circuit diagrams and layouts

• Monitoring hardware integration and commissioning

• Firmware development: Development and optimization of the firmware to control and regulate the printer processes

• Development of control algorithms and communication protocols

• Ensuring stable and efficient real-time performance

• Software development: Development and maintenance of software for users to monitor and control printing processes.

• Programming and maintenance of a user-friendly application for communication with the 3D bioprinter

• GUI design: Design and implementation of an intuitive user interface

• Development of a GUI that visualizes important printing parameters and offers simple control options

• Ensuring responsive design and optimized user experience (UX)

• Project coordination and documentation: Close collaboration with development teams from other areas, documentation of technical specifications and development results.

Your profile:

• Technical training: Completed studies in the field of electrical engineering, mechatronics, Computer science or a comparable qualification.

• Professional experience: Experience in the area of ​​system development, ideally in the context of 3D printing or 3D bioprinting



Expertise:

• Very good knowledge of electronics and selection/integration of hardware components

• Experience in developing firmware in C/C++ or similar languages

• Knowledge of software development, ideally with Java

• Experience in GUI design, UX design and possibly design tools (e.g. Figma, Adobe XD)

•Ideally experience working with open source 3D printing firmware (e.g. Marlin, RepRapFirmware)

• Soft skills: ability to work in a team, initiative, and high problem-solving skills.

What we offer: 

• Young team with flat hierarchies that promotes open communication and quick decision-making processes

• Opportunity to work on pioneering bioprinting projects

• Collaborative, science-based and innovative work environment

• Professional development and growth opportunities
