Work description

We are a young and dynamic deep-tech startup close to Zurich, founded in 2020, after nearly 10 years of research within IBM. The internships are placed at the heart of our R&D activities and will ensure that our groundbreaking semiconductor chips can realize their full performance potential with appropriate electrical, optical and mechanical integration solutions.Internship - Reliability testing and hardware designYou will collaborate closely with R&D engineers to enhance our test capabilities. You will gain understanding of our electrical and optical testing hardware, learn about our characterization methods, and engage in both conceptual and practical lab work. This hands-on experience will provide you with a comprehensive background in industry-driven R&D activities. Your daily tasks may include:
• Improving existing and developing new experimental setups for electrical or electro-optical characterization and robustness testing of integrated photonic devices.
• Implementing new test methods within these setups (instrument selection, integration, and measurement routine coding)
• Designing PCBs for mechanical sample fixation and electrical routing.
• Conducting measurements, analyzing data, and preparing documentation and reports.
• Engaging in hands-on lab tasks, such as setting up new instruments, installation of hardware components and samples into test chambers, or development of calibration routines.Salary can be higher depending on study progress and experience.
