R&D Intern – Bioprinting Systems & Acoustic Manipulation
UniBE is quintessentially Bernese.
With us, you can expect a culture of respect and a healthy working environment. The lab is currently developing a digital light processing (DLP)-based bioprinting system combined with acoustic manipulation, where ultrasound fields are used to control and organize cells during the printing process, enabling improved structural and functional properties of engineered tissues. ARSL is looking for a highly motivated, creative, and collaborative intern with a strong experimental background in electrical and mechanical engineering, or a closely related field.
Tasks
We offer
The University of Bern is an equal opportunity employer, promotes healthy work-life-balance and safe working environments, and strives to increase the number of women at all levels in its faculties. International reputation

Tasks
- Design and fabrication of mechanical components for experimental setups using CAD tools
- Development, optimization, and operation of 3D printing systems (e.g., DLP, SLA, FDM)
- Assembly and testing of mechanical and mechatronic systems for bioprinting platforms
- Support in prototyping, system integration, and experimental validation
- Documentation of designs, workflows, and experimental results
- Background in Mechanical engineering, Electrical engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field
- Experience with CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Fusion 360)
- Hands-on experience with 3D printing (highly desirable)
- Practical skills in prototyping and working with laboratory hardware (highly desirable)
- Strong communication skills
We offer
- Creative and international environment to conduct competitive research in an interdisciplinary team
- Strong links to the Bern University Hospital (Inselspital) to provide a coherent and holistic view of how engineering solutions can benefit patients
- Opportunity to work on cutting-edge research projects in bioprinting, acoustics, and microrobotics
- Expected start date: flexible (as soon as possible)
- Free German courses available for those wishing to learn
