Jobdetails
General Information
Start Date: 01.09.2026 (Latest possible start date: 01.11.2026)
Duration: 1 year (with option for extension)
Workplace: Rotkreuz
Workload: 80–100%
Home Office: Yes, 3–4 days per week highly recommended (depending on onsite tasks)
Tasks & Responsibilities
Project & Supplier Ownership: Take accountability for deliverables within a matrix-organized project structure; actively collaborate with external development partners and suppliers while driving your own core work packages.
Full Lifecycle Development: Lead all phases of mechanical development — from initial concept and design review through unit testing, bug fixing, and maintenance — with a current strategic focus on Design for Manufacturability (DFM).
Advanced Plastics Engineering: Drive the architectural and detailed mechanical design of complex functional consumables, optimizing for high-volume injection molding and advanced plastic technologies.
Agile Collaboration: Participate in defining, estimating, planning, and executing work packages within a sprint-based Agile environment, collaborating closely with Product Owners, Scrum Masters, Architects, and Developers.
Advanced Engineering Analysis: Define and perform rigorous engineering analyses, including Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Tolerance Analysis, and various physics-based simulations.
Technical Leadership & Mentorship: Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers, driving complex technical problem-solving and taking ownership of mission-critical tasks.
Cross-Functional Reviews: Lead, execute, and contribute to comprehensive technical reviews involving diverse stakeholders across R&D, Operations, and Customer Support.
Qualifications & Requirements (Must-Haves)
Education: Degree in Mechanical Engineering (FH / BSc / MSc) or a comparable technical field.
Professional Experience: Minimum of 6–8 years of relevant, hands-on industry experience in product development.
Plastics & Injection Molding Expertise: Superior, long-term proficiency in injection molding design and plastic technologies, ideally with a proven track record of developing functional consumables with a focus on cost-optimized, large-scale series production.
Proven Lifecycle Expertise: Extensive professional experience driving all phases of mechanical development, with deep-rooted expertise in Design for Manufacturability (DFM).
Stakeholder & Vendor Management: Demonstrated success working in multidisciplinary teams, with strong capabilities in managing external development partners and suppliers.
CAD & Standards Proficiency: Proficiency and willingness to perform hands-on CAD design (SolidWorks preferred, integrated with SAP) in strict compliance with ISO 8015 / Geometrical Product Specifications (GPS) for 2D drawings and 3D models.
Working Style: A strong affinity for methodical, systematic approaches in the early phases of product development, backed by solid fundamentals in physics and engineering, alongside readiness to thrive in a fully agile, transparent, and collaborative team environment.
Language Skills: Professional proficiency in English is a MUST (project language).
Desirable Skills (Nice-to-Haves)
Desired experience developing complex medical systems and integrating components such as pumps, valves, sensors, and temperature control elements within a regulated (GMP relevant) environment.
Listening and reading comprehension in German is a distinct advantage.
