Your role in the team
- Flow sensors are among the essential functional components of every ventilator or anesthesia machine.
- As a Sensor Systems Engineer (m/f/d), you will be responsible for the development, characterization, and integration of flow sensors in complex pneumatic medical devices—from requirements definition and system integration through to verification and technical documentation.
- As the interface between component and device development, you are part of an interdisciplinary development team and ensure that our flow sensors operate accurately, robustly, and safely under real-world clinical conditions: with different gas mixtures, temperatures, humidity levels, condensate, leaks, and throughout the product’s entire lifecycle.
- Development of system requirements and technical concepts for flow sensors in ventilators and anesthesia devices.
- Evaluation and selection of suitable sensor technologies in terms of accuracy, robustness, and performance.
- Development of the sensor technology in close coordination with the device development teams.
- Integration of sensors into complex pneumatic systems and optimization of relevant system characteristics.
- Conducting engineering tests and supporting verification and validation activities.
- Analysis of measurement deviations and development of compensation and diagnostic concepts.
- Conducting risk analyses and maintaining the associated development documentation.
- Collaborating with suppliers and supporting the transfer to series production.
