The Job
As an R&D engineer working at LifeTec Group your main focus will be maintaining, developing and designing our state-of-the-art research platforms, such as the Cardiac Biosimulator Platform. As an R&D engineer at LifeTec Group you will be involved in continuously adapting and improving our platforms and technology to lift them to a next level. You will in particular be translating conceptual changes into mechanical, electronical and software designs and implement these in our platforms. Occasionally, ad-hoc adaptions or repairs need to be done which require quick but effective solutions and calm handling. Being involved in manufacturing, designing and maintaining platforms also means that you will draft cost and time estimates about developments you plan to do.
Next to internal work you will also work as a platform operator to support our clients in their research, which includes, helping the client set up and the experiment using our platforms, post-processing the obtained results and write test reports. Being involved in client communication and high level interaction in the team requires good communication. Altogether, these activities require excellent technical skills and a pro-active and precise working attitude.
