Open positions

Hardware Systems Integration Engineer – Lighthouse Partnership

We are seeking a highly skilled, hands-on Systems Integration Engineer to join the Lighthouse Partnership team. In this role, you will be responsible for the hardware integration and assembly of complex neuromodulation systems, ensuring seamless communication and functionality across hardware and software components. This includes designing and implementing the physical integration of the different hardware components, creating a cohesive and fully functional system. You will work closely with a multidisciplinary team and contribute to two neuromodulation projects, to be validated in preclinical models: a Brain-Spine digital bridge to restore mobility in paralysis and an optogenetic therapy for peripheral nerve disorders, targeting spasticity.

To apply, please send your CV and cover letter to HR@wysscenter.ch no later than 13 March 2025.
