Join a pioneering project at the Laboratory of Molecular Medicine, where you guide the design and development of ViViD-AFM V2.0—a next-generation nano-imaging system. You play a key role in moving from academic prototypes to commercial-grade systems, ensuring technical novelty and independence from previous patents.

• Define the technical vision and high-level design for ViViD-AFM V2.0, creating a scalable and robust system architecture.
• Drive the design process to secure technical independence from legacy patents and build a new IP portfolio.
• Work closely with the Lead Mechatronics Engineer to align hardware development with system-wide goals.
• Translate research requirements into a novel architecture that supports high-speed live-cell imaging.

• Deep knowledge of high-speed AFM hardware for soft cell surface imaging.
• Experience moving from academic prototypes to commercial-grade industrial systems.
• Ability to analyze legacy systems and design innovative, IP-independent technical frameworks.
• Degree in Physics or Engineering, with specialization in precision instrumentation.

• Lead the architectural development of a system set to redefine video-rate nano-imaging.
• Work in a highly collaborative environment bridging academic research at ETH Zurich and a dynamic high-tech startup.
• Support for your transition into the spin-off phase.
• Assistance with permit processes for international candidates (e.g., B-Permit sponsorship).
