Until 1933, Brüche was an unpaid lecturer on experimental and technical physics at the Danzig Technische Hochschule, where he worked on the measurement of electron scattering cross-sections of molecular gases.

From 1928 to 1945, he was head of the physics laboratories at the Allgemeine Elektrizitäts-Gesellschaft (AEG) in Reinickendorf, a borough of Berlin. At the AEG, he worked mostly on geometrical electron optics and developed an electron microscope. From 1946 to 1951, he was the head scientist of the Süddeutsches Laboratorium, in Mosbach.
