systems engineer (m/f/d) - system development & integration.

In critical care settings, every second counts. Blood gas and electrolyte (BGE) analysis provides clinicians with immediate, precise insights when patient outcomes depend on rapid decision-making. We are seeking a dedicated Systems Engineer (m/f/d) to join an international Near Patient Care R&D team in Rotkreuz. In this role, you will be the bridge where hardware, software, biochemical sensors, and reagents come together to form high-performance, highly reliable in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) systems.
 

If you thrive on solving multidisciplinary technical puzzles, mastering requirements engineering, and exploring modern approaches like Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and generative AI to refine development workflows, this is your opportunity to make a direct clinical impact across the full product lifecycle.
