Seeing beyond - future of medical technology

For more than 100 years, ZEISS medical technology has been driving progress in ophthalmology and microsurgery. In ophthalmology, our solutions help to maintain and improve people's vision at every stage of their lives. In microsurgery, our solutions enable targeted interventions on diseased tissue so that small and sensitive organs continue to function optimally.

Your Role

With us, you have the opportunity to perfectly combine your studies with practical experience while actively contributing to exciting projects. This allows you to gain valuable skills, expand your network, and grow both professionally and personally.

• You support an advanced development team in the design, prototyping, and testing of an innovative eye implant
• Prepare and conduct mechanical and functional tests using laboratory test equipment
• Work with hardware components such as sensors, actuators, measurement equipment, and data-acquisition systems. Support the troubleshooting and continuous improvement of hardware and software components
• Develop, read, and adapt Python code for test automation, device control, data acquisition, and data analysis
• Support hands-on laboratory activities, including prototype assembly and the handling of small, sensitive components of the eye implant
• Contribute to the design and adaptation of prototype components and test fixtures using Creo Parametric
• Evaluate and document test results in a clear and structured manner.
• Conduct scientific and technical literature research
