Are you a hands-on engineer who enjoys solving technical challenges and turning ideas into practical solutions? Would you like to work in a versatile R&D environment where no two weeks are the same?

Our client, Biohit Oyj, is looking for an R&D Engineer to strengthen its growing product development team. This is a full-time, permanent position, and you will be employed directly by Biohit Oyj. The office is located in Roihupelto, Helsinki, with excellent transport connections. The role is primarily office-based, although partial remote work can be agreed upon. The start date is flexible and can be agreed separately.

The role

We are looking for a hands-on, interdisciplinary and cross-functional engineer to support Biohit`s R&D team. This is a deliberately broad role. One week you might design and 3D print a custom fixture for an experiment and build a sensor setup with a microcontroller. The next you might fix a malfunctioning instrument, write a script to process measurement data or conduct a medical device technical risk assessment or a usability study.

We know that no one person has every skill listed below, and we don’t expect you to. We value someone who is strong in a few of these areas, comfortable in some others, and eager to learn the rest, if needed. If you enjoy solving practical problems and like variety, we’d like to hear from you, even if you only match part of the list.

What you might be working on

• Design, prototype, and iterate on mechanical parts, fixtures, and housings
• Build, maintain, troubleshoot, upgrade and repair laboratory equipment and electronic devices.
• Develop electronic and sensor-based setups, from breadboard prototypes to simple PCBs
• Write and test software or define software requirements
• Perform and document equipment or process validation and verification tasks
• Process, analyze, and visualize experimental data, and help researchers interpret results
• Support material selection and testing for prototypes and product components
• Document designs, procedures, and test results clearly
• Act as a practical technical resource for scientists, helping turn their ideas into working tools

Required

• Degree in engineering or a related field
• Demonstrated hands-on technical skills
• Ability to work independently, manage several small projects at once, and learn new tools quickly
• Good written and spoken English

Desirable

• Electronics, circuit design and PCB layout
• 3D printing (SLA/DLP, FDM)
• Embedded systems, microcontrollers and IoT
• Optics and sensor technology basics
• Programming and code testing
• Data analysis and statistics
• Cybersecurity and data protection
• 3D CAD design
• Materials science
• Technical documentation
• Electronic device troubleshooting, maintenance and repair
