R&D Engineer (mfd)

Your mission

We are looking for a talented R&D Engineer (m / f / d) to take ownership of automated test systems from setup and execution through testing and this role you will combine hands-on laboratory work with system-level understanding to support prototype development automation and continuous improvement in a collaborative multidisciplinary R&D environment.

Key Responsibilities :

System Ownership & Testing : You take ownership of a mid-complexity test system including its process logic automation sequences and testing workflow. You will troubleshoot issues and collaborate with test engineers to evaluate system performance and identify areas for improvement.

Cross-functional Collaboration : You work closely with R&D engineers software developers chemists and mechanical engineers to support system integration and testing workflows.

Hands-on Lab Work & Prototype Development : You assemble and modify test setups involving pneumatic and fluidic components (e.g. valves tubing fittings). You execute experiments in the lab and support troubleshooting across disciplines.

Automation & Coding : You write scripts (e.g. in Python) to automate processes and support prototype operation.

System Testing : You define and execute parameter tuning calibrations and exploratory testing to optimize system performance.

Data Documentation & Analysis : Document test plans and results analyze findings and contribute to design decisions and process improvements.

System-Level Understanding : Develop a deep understanding of how complex automated systems function and interact across fluidics mechanics and software layers.

Your profile

Bachelors or Masters degree in Medical Engineering Chemical Engineering Biomedical Engineering Mechatronics Systems Engineering Mechanical Engineering or a related interdisciplinary field.

Hands-on experience working with fluids and gases in a research laboratory or prototype environment including basic (micro)fluidics pneumatic systems and safe handling of liquids and chemicals.

mail : About us

NVision is a quantum biotech startup based in Ulm Germany with Tier 1 investors from the USA and Europe. We are just leaving stealth mode moving from local R&D to global commercialization and expansion.

We are developing a technology that will enable MRI-based imaging of real-time metabolism in the body with tremendous potential for research and applications in oncology cardiology neurology and more. Our company brings together expertise in physics chemistry engineering and medicine and we are collaborating with scientists and clinicians from top medical and research centers such as Memorial Sloan Kettering in New York MD Anderson in Texas Technical University of Munich Cambridge University in the UK and more.

NVision is developing fast robust and easy-to-use hyperpolarization technology for preclinical and clinical research in our POLARIS product line. Those devices are placed close to an MRI scanner in a research or clinical environment to produce hyperpolarized contrast agents on demand in a fast fully-automated multi-step chemical process. Key steps of the process contain fluidic transport across multiple vessels and chemical mixing and separation processes in fully-reuseable or single-use disposable fluid paths. We develop our commercial products jointly with external design and manufacturing partners and the process development as well as the design and manufacturing of prototypes is done entirely in-house.

We offer a dynamic international working environment with immense room for growth that encourages personal initiative and open communication.
