Apply directly: We do not typically work with placement firms or external recruiters. We prefer that candidates reach out to us directly so we can engage with them without intermediaries. This helps us maintain a clear, efficient hiring process and ensures that every applicant gets our full attention.

Notice: Please note that any personal information you share will be subject to our Personnel Privacy Policy and Notice at Collection.

Manufacturing Engineer

Stallikon, Zürich, Switzerland

We are looking for an experienced, hands-on Manufacturing Engineer to join our Manufacturing team and act as the technical bridge between R&D and Production. You will take ownership of released product data and turn it into stable, documented, and efficient production processes. This includes DFM/DFA review, production readiness, assembly instructions and SOPs, tooling and test-process support, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement. We are looking for someone with a strong foundation in manufacturing electronic or electromechanical products, hands-on technical troubleshooting, and practical programming or scripting used in production or test environments. Experience with robotics, autonomous systems, or similarly complex hardware is a plus. This is a Mid / Senior position for someone who can independently take a released design from R&D and make it production-ready. You should be comfortable moving between engineering discussions and the production floor: reviewing a drawing, debugging an electronic assembly or test process, improving a fixture or script, updating an SOP, and helping technicians remove blockers. The goal is to make production more reliable, repeatable, and efficient as we scale.

  • Create, approve, and continuously maintain assembly instructions, SOPs, test instructions, inspection instructions, and rework procedures.

  • Ensure production documentation always matches the latest released product revision.

  • Provide day-to-day technical support to technicians and remove process or tooling-related production blockers.

  • Troubleshoot assembly, test, fixture, tooling, and configuration issues and drive root-cause resolution.

  • Work with R&D when production issues require design, software, test, or documentation changes.

  • Develop, improve, and maintain production fixtures, jigs, test setups, tools, and supporting scripts.

  • Improve assembly sequence, workstation layout, standard work, material flow, and production methods.

  • Reduce rework, waiting time, manual workarounds, process variation, and cycle time.

  • Apply Lean Manufacturing principles such as 5S, standard work, visual management, and continuous improvement.

Qualifications

  • Several years of hands-on experience in manufacturing engineering, production engineering, industrialization, NPI, or a similar role.

  • Practical experience manufacturing and troubleshooting electronic or electromechanical products.

  • Strong understanding of assembly processes, production tooling, fixtures, testing, and manufacturing documentation.

  • Ability to independently review drawings, tolerances, BOMs, specifications, and released engineering data.

  • Practical knowledge of DFM/DFA, root-cause analysis, and structured problem solving.

  • Programming or scripting skills sufficient to understand, modify, and debug production or test tools; Python or similar is a strong fit.

  • Experience creating and maintaining assembly instructions, SOPs, and controlled production documentation.

  • Ability to work independently across R&D and Production and take ownership of manufacturing readiness.

  • Good spoken and written English.

  • EU/EFTA citizenship or a valid Swiss work permit.

Bonus Points

  • Experience with robotics, drones, aerospace, automotive, or other complex hardware products.

  • Experience with both mechanical and electrical assemblies and production test systems.
