About us

Spore.Bio is a deeptech start-up born in 2023, building a new paradigm in the quality control systems in Food&Beverage, Cosmetics, and Pharmaceutics factories.

After spending a lot of time in factories environments, we saw the pain it was to make sure products were safe. Traditional quality control has heavy constraints and long waiting times. To change that, we decided to build Spore.Bio, a new generation of microbiological testing.

Our team is dedicated to bringing technology and developing a cutting-edge solution, based on advanced optical and deep-learning technologies, to detect bacterial contamination within seconds.

Are you ready to revolutionize microbiology monitoring in factories? Spore.Bio is actively seeking a talented and passionate Embedded Systems Engineering Apprentice to be part part of the development of our cutting-edge solution. Join our dynamic team of R&D experts and product managers and play a key role in shaping the future of industrial microbiology.

About the role

As an Embedded Systems Engineering Apprentice, you’ll be a key part of our R&D team and work across the full development cycle — from concept to production.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Programming embedded software (mainly in C on STM32 microcontrollers and in C#).
• Defining and executing test plans to validate your designs.
• Writing and contributing to hardware and software technical specifications.
• Validating your solutions within the larger system architecture.
• Participating in compliance and qualification testing (e.g., EMC, CE standards).
• Troubleshooting and resolving issues on prototypes and pre-series hardware.
• Collaborating with experienced engineers and learning best practices in embedded development.

You’ll be working hands-on, with real autonomy — and we’ll support your learning every step of the way.
