Our instruments combine sophisticated flow systems and mechanical features with state-of-the-art electronics and optics. In this position, we expect you to solve quality and performance issues. Your daily tasks will be diverse and will typically span from root cause analysis of mechanical faults to securing the performance of the instrument.

Tasks thus often require a coordinated effort across the organization, and you will get to work with many different teams and colleagues. You will join a team of highly skilled mechanical and electrical engineers.

You will be close to our customers, both external and internal and will be a key part of improving our products in many ways. The feedback loop for changes and improvements is short and you will hence receive fast feedback and praise on solutions and improvements.

Your daily work will be at the FOSS innovation center in Hillerød Denmark, with only few traveling days per year.
