About Odne
Odne (formerly Lumendo), founded in 2018 and spun out of ETH Zürich and EPFL Lausanne, is on a mission to revolutionize endodontic treatments in the US and EU. Our advanced cleaning technology and light-activated filler help patients keep their natural teeth longer.
Position Overview
We are looking for a curious and independent Biomaterials Intern to enrich our team and support our product development efforts for 6 months. You will work on improving our products, running lab tests, and contributing to regulatory documentation. This is a unique opportunity to gain practical engineering, prototyping, and regulatory experience while helping expand the reach of a life-changing product.
Tasks
Support all aspects of the product development process, from early concepts and benchtop testing (X-ray, CBCT, viscosity) to small-batch manufacturing and market approval
Conduct material stability and shelf-life testing by spectroscopic and photopolymerization analysis
Develop and execute benchtop and performance tests based on ISO standards
Improve product designs based on market feedback
Generate experimental data for marketing purposes
Keep detailed documentation and write clear, concise technical reports, for use in our regulatory files
Requirements
Bachelor's degree (or higher) in science or engineering (e.g. material science, life-science)
Experience in lab work, with the ability to work independently, efficiently, and safely
Interest in biomaterials and medical devices
Experience in prototyping and building test setups
High motivation and a strong sense of responsibility, with an independent and well-organized working style
Engaged and hands-on personality, with the ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams
Available full-time for 6 months
Benefits
A meaningful internship project with a real impact
Insight into the full lifecycle of a medical device
A dynamic startup environment with lots of responsibility, freedom and learning opportunities
A young, entrepreneurial and motivated team

Odne has its roots in a groundbreaking collaboration between two renowned Swiss institutions: the Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology in Lausanne and Zürich (EPFL & ETH Zürich). Founded in 2018, Odne is committed to pioneering the future of endodontics through advanced technology and innovative solutions.
Pain points of today’s root canal treatment are the highly technique sensitive preparation of the root canal, bleach as the main irrigation and disinfection medium, and the tedious obturation procedures. In addition, past innovations in endodontic devices often came at a prohibitive pricing.
Odne’s Technology Platform for Debridement and Obturation.
OdneClean innovates root canal debridement, introducing hydro-dynamic cavitation using saline solution as main irrigation medium. OdneFill and OdneCure are game-changers in root canal obturation. OdneFill is a light-curing, highly flowable, one material root canal filler that instantly photo-cures upon applying OdneCure, a high-precision, laser-based curing lamp.
Both technologies can be easily integrated in the existing workflows individually. Together, they enable Root Preservation Therapy (RPT). RPT increases patient comfort through less surgical trauma/risk. RPT using the Odne Solution accelerates the endo workflow, is less complex to train and makes it easier to retreat complications.
Besides the core innovations in hydro-dynamic cavitation and light-curing hydrogel technology, the highly flexible application tips for OdneClean / OdneFill (190µm), and the optical fiber of OdneCure (200µm) are first of its kind in dental.
