We are now looking for a Mechanical Engineering Student to work within Hardware R&D. The student will work in a multidisciplinary environment and interaction with different disciplines and professionals will be required throughout this project.

A Single Use column valve is an important complex component in a chromatography instrument. It should enable up- and downflow, bypass, double columns, low hold-up volume, easy to manufacture, low cost and have the robustness required for a Single Use process.

What you’ll do:

• The aim of this Bachelor thesis is to develop a design concept for laser welding of a Single Use pump head. The Single Use pump head exists and will be the starting point.
• Key design focuses areas: Adapt the design on 2 parts for laser welding.
• Develop a tool/fixture to be used when performing the laser welding.
• Develop laser welding recipes.
• Perform laser welding on prototypes
• Evaluation of the prototypes to meet the most important requirements, strength and integrity by tensile strength test and/or pressure test.

Who are you?

• A Bachelor’s student in Mechanical Engineering.
• Enjoy practical work (building assembling and testing of prototypes).
• Have attention to detail.
• Have an interest in mechanics/mechanical design/3D printing.
• Have strong logical reasoning and be pragmatic in decision making.
• Be interested in scientific research.

Interview and selection will happen continuously. The opening can be filled before last day of application.

Join our winning team today. Together, we’ll accelerate the real-life impact of tomorrow’s science and technology. We partner with customers across the globe to help them solve their most complex challenges, architecting solutions that bring the power of science to life.
