Manufacturing Engineer

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.

• Own the transfer of released products revisions BOMs drawings specifications and technical data from R&D into production.
• Perform DFM/DFA reviews and identify issues affecting manufacturability assembly testing quality cost or cycle time.
• Provide structured manufacturing feedback to mechanical and electrical teams.
• Define production readiness and ensure engineering changes are correctly implemented on the production floor.
• Support New Product Introduction (NPI) and transition prototypes into repeatable production.
• 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.

• 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.

• Experience with robotics drones aerospace automotive or other complex hardware products.
• Experience with both mechanical and electrical assemblies and production test systems.
• Experience designing production fixtures jigs or test equipment.
• Experience with FMEA 8D 5 Why Lean 5S or Kaizen.
• Experience with ERP/MRP or PLM systems such as Odoo Aligni or similar tools.
• Basic German.
