Internship in biomedical engineering - 100%

You will be integrated into the biomedical and equipment service of the HUG, within the Biomedical Engineering Sector (SIB), and will be supervised by excellent professionals.

This internship is part of the major construction project for the new children's hospital (https://www.hug.ch/enfants-ados/nouvel-hopital-enfants) which will be delivered in 2035. You will assist the biomedical engineer in charge of this project, in collaboration with technical referents, users, and suppliers. You will contribute to the technological monitoring process aimed at identifying new and/or innovative technical solutions, their benefits, and the related constraints.

The main work and subject of the internship concern the updating of a complete hospital equipment plan according to the latest plans and room numbering, the updating of technical reservations and equipment installation constraints (according to standards and technological monitoring), as well as the analysis of expected related loads (related to equipment installation, their connectivity, and maintenance). Furthermore, an analysis and update of the current equipment park of HUG pediatrics by units and categories (valuation, histogram, maintenance) will allow for a projection of investment and transfer costs according to the project end calendar scenarios and identification of challenges.

You will be involved in the preparation of a preparatory rotation for the project concerning radiological imaging (room sheets and plans; CT MRI RX imaging, anesthesia, flow).

You also have the opportunity to get concretely involved in several projects at different levels of progress or coordination.

You are currently undergoing university training in biomedical engineering (Master's in progress or potentially Bachelor's at the end of the curriculum), preferably with knowledge of medical devices in the broad sense, as well as experience (internship or other) in the hospital field or similar.

You have in-depth knowledge of standard office and spreadsheet software (Word, Excel, Powerpoint) and are generally comfortable with IT tools. Knowledge of a CMMS tool or equipment programs is a plus.

You have a sense of rigor and organization. You act with methodology and efficiency and demonstrate a capacity for communication and listening.

You know how to work in a team and are familiar with project management in the organization of technical platforms and in the field of medical devices (and the related regulations).

In addition to your collaborative spirit, you are autonomous and discreet and ensure a smooth flow of information.

You are comfortable with document management and the entry of technical information to feed the project's database management tools.
