MindMaze is the world’s leading Neurotechnology startup built on more than a decade of pioneering research at the intersection of virtual reality and neuroscience. Our breakthrough platform combines virtual & augmented reality, neuroscience and AI to build intuitive human machine interfaces. Our first products help patients suffering from severe disabilities following a neurological incident.
In early 2018, MindMaze acquired Intento (www.Intento.ch). Intento is an EPFL spin-off developing a wearable solution for the rehabilitation of paralyzed stroke patients based on functional electrical stimulation bringing complementary technology to MindMaze.
Intento is looking for a 6 months intern. You will support the development of our medical devices. You will collaborate with our research and development team to propose suitable flexible conductive materials - and related fabrication methods - for a new electrode technology, based on the study of the literature or computer simulations. You will fabricate one or more proof-of-concept of the material, and test their electrical and mechanical properties.
· MS degree in materials science or engineering, biomedical engineering, micro-engineering, or electrical engineering;
· Knowledge and previous work in one or more fields: conductive polymers, smart textiles, hydrogels, flexible electronics, biomaterials;
· Autonomous, motivated and willing to learn fast;
· Fluent in English.
Ideally you have:
· A scientifically oriented mind;
