Manufacturing Process Analyst / Engineer (m/f/d) - S&C

As an MSAT Engineer (m/f/d), you will support the entire product lifecycle—from design transfer to sustainable product care for complex sensor and cartridge technologies. Working within an agile, cross-functional framework (Squads & Chapters), you will combine technical expertise, data-driven insights, and digital tools to solve complex challenges directly at the interface between development and production. You bring a pragmatic, hands-on mindset to the shop floor to effectively balance process robustness with strict quality standards.
