STRATEC Biomedical Romania

Our summer interns have made an impressive start. They took on the challenge of building a fully voice-automated robotic arm for hands-free laboratory test preparation. In less than a month, the team has established a solid foundation, including the software architecture, core embedded control, software-firmware contracts, mechanical design, 3D-printed prototypes and initial hardware testing.

We are excited to see what further ideas they bring to the project and to follow their progress over the coming weeks.

Stay tuned for more! In the meantime, here is a look at the 3D-printed prototype.

Yesterday, we kicked off Build Your Robot 2026 together with our new interns.

From the first coffee to the office tour, they:

met their mentors and teammates
got hands-on with their first tasks
started shaping their mission plan for the next weeks

In the next weeks, they’ll train with their mentors, explore different areas of their work, and gradually bring their ideas to life.

Stay tuned for behind-the-scenes moments from BYR 2026.

Meet Alexandra, who has grown into her role by mastering complex systems through hands-on testing, continuous learning and close collaboration with our development teams.

We hosted the third edition of our children’s science event — a magical celebration of curiosity, discovery, and hands-on learning.
It was a joy to see their curiosity come alive once again, creating special moments for children and parents alike.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this day so memorable!

Meet Cristi, a PhD physicist who works to connect medical devices to the cloud.

On Saturday, April 25th 2026, 15 colleagues took part in a CSR initiative in partnership with Asociația Prima Dată Acasă, helping to build homes for low-income families while also gaining a meaningful learning experience along the way. It was a rewarding day for everyone involved, ending with a strong sense of teamwork and impact.

Meet Melinda, who grew alongside the company by navigating complex financial transformations, continuous learning, and cross-department collaboration.

🚨 Internship Update 🚨
Applications are now closed! Final interviews are underway, and we’ll soon confirm our new internship team. 💥

Thank you to everyone who applied – your interest and effort mean a lot to us. Stay tuned for the next chapter!

On Sunday, March 29th 2026, 13 colleagues took on the Wizz Air Marathon challenge: 3 ran the 4 km race, 4 completed the 10 km, 5 crossed the finish line of the half marathon, and 1 colleague conquered the full marathon. All this in chilly temperatures and occasional rain. Let’s applaud their dedication and perseverance!

Do not be fooled on April Fools’ Day. 😉

Some statements may sound familiar in the diagnostics software world… but they are myths, not good practice:

“Who needs detailed requirements? The developers know what to do.”

“If it works on my machine, it will work in the lab.”

“We can clarify the requirements during testing.”

“Change requests are simple – we can implement them without impact analysis.”

“Risk controls can be added later, once the software is stable.”

When it comes to diagnostic systems, solid requirements, traceability, and risk management are no joke.
At STRATEC, we treat them as the foundation of safe and reliable solutions – on April 1st and on every other day.
