Your key responsibilities will include:

• Preparing and running 3D prints from existing designs, finishing printed parts, and designing or adapting simple components for smaller project assignments with guidance from the team
• Organizing workshop tools, components, and materials and helping maintain a safe and orderly work environment
• Carrying out repeated measurements and tests using established procedures and recording results accurately for further analysis
• Updating firmware on laboratory devices using established instructions and guidance from the team
• Helping translate and update work orders, work instructions, SOPs, and related technical documentation
• Supporting practical and administrative activities across the department, including organizing inventory and assisting with ad hoc tasks needed to support ongoing projects and daily operations

• Work carefully and systematically, take responsibility, and follow tasks through
• Can work independently while asking for guidance when needed
• Communicate clearly and are comfortable working in English

Additional skills & interests we value

The following qualifications would be an advantage:

• Hands-on experience with parametric CAD, 3D printing, workshop tools, mechanical prototyping, or basic electronics and soldering. Experience gained through personal projects is also welcome
• A practical understanding of mechanical assembly, testing, or basic equipment maintenance
• An interest in laboratory automation, robotics, or technical development
• Experience with technical documentation or structured quality-related work
• A structured approach and strong attention to detail

What we offer you

You will have the opportunity to develop your practical and technical skills in a professional laboratory and workshop environment while working alongside experienced colleagues.

You will gain hands-on exposure to 3D printing, laboratory equipment, automation, technical documentation, and project-related activities. At the same time, you will become part of a collaborative team where curiosity, quality, and practical problem-solving are valued. We understand that your studies come first and offer flexibility around study-intensive periods, including exams.
