What we know about this job
LipoCoat develops bio-inspired coatings that make medical devices safer and more comfortable. Our patented, PFAS-free lipid coating is only a few nanometres thin, mimics the natural cell membrane, and prevents proteins and bacteria from sticking to surfaces such as contact lenses, catheters and implants. We are a University of Twente spin-off based at Kennispark in Enschede, we work under an ISO 13485 quality system, and we partner with medical device manufacturers worldwide.
As an intern at LipoCoat you do not make coffee and copy files — you get your own project, your own lab bench and a supervisor who takes your work seriously. Depending on your background and interests, your project sits somewhere in coating formulation, surface characterisation, microbiology or process development. Your results feed directly into our development programmes and, in many cases, into the products of our customers.
We spun out of the University of Twente in 2016 with a single idea. Now our headquarters and labs sit on the same innovation campus in Enschede, the Netherlands, where we innovate novel medical device coatings
We are a team of scientists and engineers small enough that everyone knows what everyone else is working on, and ambitious enough to take a university invention all the way into products used on patients. The structure is flat, decisions are made quickly, and the working language is English.
Send your CV, a short motivation and your preferred start date and duration to [email protected], with “Internship application” in the subject line. Tell us which topic appeals to you most — a specific interest says more to us than a perfect cover letter. We review applications continuously and aim to respond within ten working days. A first video call is followed by an on-site interview and a tour of the lab in Enschede.
