R&D Test and Integration Engineer

The role of R&D Test and Integration Engineer at Creoptix AG, a brand of Malvern Panalytical, involves working on next-generation bioanalytical instruments. These instruments are based on proprietary Grating-Coupled-Interferometry (GCI) technology and are used in drug discovery and life sciences for both industry and academic research. The company combines advanced opto-mechatronic engineering with sophisticated software to enable precise and reliable bioanalytical measurements. The main day-to-day responsibilities include participating in the design, prototyping, and testing of electro-mechanical sub-assemblies and complete systems with embedded software elements. This involves developing integration and testing procedures, as well as creating related documentation. The engineer will also develop test execution and data analysis software tools using Python, Lua, and HTML. Collaboration with production, quality assurance, and field service teams for handover and training is also a key part of the role. Additionally, the engineer will lead or participate in troubleshooting and root-cause finding investigations. To qualify for this role, candidates must have strong communication skills in English. They should have hands-on mechatronics expertise, comfortably working with mechanical, electrical/electronic, and software components. Proficiency in using CAD (Solidworks preferred) for constructing prototypes and test infrastructure, including traditional and 3D printed mechanics, is essential. A good understanding of electronic components and their interfacing, as well as the ability to use measuring equipment for testing and troubleshooting, is required. Candidates should also be able to write and debug test software with basic data collection, processing, and plotting capabilities. The ability to use AI agents for accelerated development is also necessary. Strong ownership of tasks and a result-oriented work style within a collaborative team environment are crucial. Eligibility to work in Switzerland is a must. Nice-to-have skills include a collaborative, interdisciplinary team environment with experts in engineering, physics, data science, and biochemistry. The company offers a culture of innovation, ownership, professionalism, and continuous learning. Opportunities to work on cutting-edge technology with real-world impact are available. The location in Wädenswil provides a dynamic and innovative work environment.
