• You will be responsible for product and process change requests, as well as corrective measures, working closely with our development and process-related engineering teams and manufacturing.
• You will have the opportunity to actively contribute your practical solutions in an international medical technology company.

What sets you apart:

• You are studying engineering with a focus on mechanical engineering, medical technology, production engineering, industrial engineering, mechatronics, or enrolled in a similar program.
