Internship / Master project proposal

Are you keen to join a Start-up in high development Phase?
Are you interested to in the Tomography visualization Software?

This internship is a unique opportunity to build your knowledge in visualization technique of data generated by tomography technology used in the industrial and medical domains. This internship can be extended into a Master project.

Description

Scientific Visual develops and produces automated Quality Control systems for inspecting industrial crystals used in the semiconductors, watch and medical industries. Tomography inspection technology generates huge amount of high definition data also known as stack of 2D.

The scanned raw material is characterized by the morphology, size and position of each defect.

The objective of this Internship is to study the major Open Source and Commercial tomography software in order to select one and to develop it further to fit the company specific requirements.

Required technical knowledge:

• Signal processing

• Advanced programming knowledge in Python, C++, etc)

Soft Skills:

• Ability to engage and represent our company in front major commercial SW providers or University Labs.
• Established contacts and/or preliminary experience in the Tomography Software domain
• Excellent in analysing and compiling details requirement specifications
• Fluent in written and spoken English

Software and libraries for illustration purpose:

• PlotViz : http://salsahpc.indiana.edu/pviz3/
• 3D Slicer: https://www.slicer.org/
• VTK : https://vtk.org/

For this full-time position based in Lausanne we are looking for French and English speaking candidate who can start as soon as possible.

Required skills

• Background in robotics, microtechnology, knowledge of machine vision
• Experience in managing an engineering team
• Knowledge of 3D CAD software
• Excellent communication and influencing skills – you will be required to manage external relationships with customers and suppliers
• Capable of understanding concepts rapidly, handle issues pragmatically, be at ease with working within broadly defined responsibilities. We value mindset and experience over formal training.
• English and French at high level
• Swiss or C / B Permit

Good to have

• German language
• Python
• Knowledge in optics or chemical engineering

You will

• Supervise engineering team
• Co-develop and engineer new products and new generations of existing products.
• Lead the research, development and technical product support
• Improve technical aspects of the business
• Collaborate with outside engineering teams. You must be able to effectively communicate your design and be able to discuss technical details with the outside team members.
• Be primary point of technical contacts for customers, suppliers and regulatory offices.
• Work closely with software developers on software-hardware interface. This requires knowledge of the C programming language, and CAD design software such as SolidWorks.

Scientific Visual would like to reinforce its research and innovation team through the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship program (MSCA IF). Therefore, we are looking for candidates with a Ph.D. in Physics, Material Science or Engineering, willing to work in Swiss high-tech company.

Summary

We are seeking a genius engineer with research background to shape out next generation of scientific instruments. Beginning with our proprietary IP for defect analysis with tomography systems, you will be designing and building crystal scanners that cover new materials in our product line. The scanner functionalities are related to the defect visualisation in crystals and optical items.

Mission / Responsibilities

• you will be a key part of a small, highly performing product development team at our office in Lausanne, Switzerland
• involved from the very beginning of the product life cycle, building prototypes, guiding early-stage development and building a new instrument from the ground up
