Sensor Systems Engineer, Flow Sensor Integration for Ventilation and Anaesthesia

As a sensor systems engineer at Dräger in Lübeck, you develop, characterise and integrate flow sensors into pneumatic medical devices. Working in a team across engineering fields, you cover requirements, system integration, verification and technical documentation, ensuring reliable performance in clinical conditions.

• Develop system requirements and technical concepts for flow sensors in ventilation and anaesthesia devices.
• Assess and select suitable sensor technologies for accuracy, robustness and performance.
• Develop sensors in close cooperation with device development teams.
• Integrate sensors into complex pneumatic systems and improve relevant system properties.
• Carry out engineering tests and support verification and validation activities.
• Analyse measurement errors and develop compensation and diagnostic concepts.
• Carry out risk analyses and maintain the related development documentation.
• Work with suppliers and support the transfer to series production.

• A completed degree in Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Physics, Mechanical Engineering or a comparable subject.
• Several years of experience developing, characterising or integrating sensor, measurement or flow systems.
• A structured, analytical approach and strong teamwork skills across different fields.
• Sound knowledge of at least one flow measurement principle, ideally thermal anemometry, differential pressure or MEMS-based measurement methods.
• Experience defining technical requirements and working with verification and testing processes.
• Confidence in collecting measurement data and analysing it statistically.
• Good knowledge of at least one programming language.
• Very good German and good English skills.
• Ideally, experience with flow sensors in ventilation, anaesthesia or comparable medical gas flow systems.
• Ideally, knowledge of pneumatics, respiratory gas physics and condensate management.
• Ideally, experience with calibration strategies, drift compensation and signal processing.
• Ideally, knowledge of biocompatibility, cleaning, disinfection and sterilisation of medical devices.
