With us, you have the opportunity to perfectly combine your practical studies while participating in exciting projects. This allows you to gain valuable skills, expand your network, and grow both professionally and personally.

We are seeking motivated students to join our research & development team focused on realtime physics simulations for soft-tissue modeling. Working alongside research engineers, you will donate at least three months (solute six months) on applied research and prototyping—developing and extending realtime, interactive soft‐body simulation systems used in the medical domain. What We Offer Hands-on experience building foundations for realtime simulation systems

The chance to learn, implement and extend state-of-the-art simulation methods (XPBD, advanced constraint solvers, hybrid models)

Mentorship from PhD-level researchers

A modern working environment with hybrid work options and flexible hours

A supportive, interdisciplinary team with career paths in research engineering and product development

The option to write a master thesis following an internship or working student position

Enrolled in a Master's program in Computer Science, Computer Graphics, Visual Computing, Applied Mathematics, or a related field

Strong programming skills in C++ and Python

Solid understanding of geometry processing, mesh data structures and numerical methods for simulation

Good communication skills in English; English is a plus

Self-driven, curious and collaborative with a willingness to tackle challenging research-to-product problems.

What makes you stand out (Nice to have): Prior experience with Volcano (compute or graphics) or other low-level GPU APIs

Experience with Slang or other modern shading languages and writing GPU shaders

Knowledge of Taichi (the Taichi programming language) for differentiable / high-performance simulation prototyping

Experience with rendering pipelines and realtime visual feedback

Prior projects or coursework in soft-body simulation, surgical simulation, or biomechanical modeling

Familyrity with Blender
