About Level Zero
Level Zero is pioneering next-generation biosensor technology for precise, real-time monitoring of critical endocrine biomarkers. Recognised as one of the top 20 startups across all categories worldwide at TechCrunch Disrupt 2024—and backed by top-tier organisations like SOSV and Entrepreneur First—we're pushing the boundaries of biochemistry and nanotechnology to revolutionize personalised health.
Founded by two seasoned engineers, we bring extensive experience in R&D, technical innovation, and commercial strategy to transform the way people monitor their health. Our mission is bold: to revolutionise health management by delivering clinical-grade data directly to individuals, wherever they are.
We're seeking driven innovators to join us in pushing the boundaries of biosensing and health tech, making personalised health monitoring a reality for everyone. To achieve this ambitious vision, we're assembling the best team in the world—dedicated to turning cutting-edge science into life-changing, real-world solutions.
About The Role
We're offering an exciting internship opportunity for motivated individuals to join our engineering team and gain hands-on experience in the development of next-generation hormone sensors. This position is ideal for students or recent graduates seeking practical industry experience and a deeper understanding of medical device development and technologies in a dynamic and collaborative research environment. Prior experience on medical devices and microsystems is a plus but not essential. The candidate will work closely with the medical device and microsystems engineering team to advance R&D milestones.
This is a full-time, in-person role primarily based in London.
Please note that, as this is an internship position, we are unable to provide visa sponsorship.
Some examples of what you might do:
Contribute and execute clean room builds to deliver prototypes.
Execute test campaigns, collect data, and analyse results to guide design improvements.
Analyse and organise raw experimental data as technical reports.
Contribute to both hardware and system-level verification activities across multiple projects.
Work closely with cross-functional teams to support the design and engineering lifecycle from concept to validation.
Work closely with the Engineering team leader for work progress towards R&D milestones
Attend R&D-related trainings and seminars for continuous updates on the latest trend in verification and medical device engineering.
What You Bring
A minimum of BEng or MEng in Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Electronics Engineering or a related field.
The ideal candidate will possess expertise in the following areas:
CAD – Proficiency in NX (ideally) or other similar CAD packages.
Ability to design, build, and test mechanical prototypes in controlled environments. As well as designing and building verification methods for critical performance, safety and reliability tests.
Familiarity with structured problem-solving and test optimization techniques such as DoE, Taguchi Methods, CNX diagrams, or Fault Tree Analysis.
Hands-on experience with microcontrollers or embedded platforms (e.g., Arduino, STM32).
Experience with test automation using Python, LabVIEW, or similar tools. Familiarity with statistical analysis or data visualization tools (e.g., MATLAB, Excel, Jupyter).
Strong interest in microsystems, sensors, or embedded systems technology.
Experience in FMEA, DFMEA, and HAZOP to assess risks.
Attention to detail and confidence in following laboratory protocols and SOPs
Strong organisational skills, a proactive attitude, and the ability to work effectively within a team environment
