MSAT PPS Engineer - Precision Dispensing & Sensor Manufacturing

Start Date: 01.02.2027

Latest Possible Start Date: 01.04.2027

Planned Duration of Employment: 1 year

Extension (for temporary contracts): very likely

Workplace: Rotkreuz

Workload: 100%

Home Office: most unlikely

Role & Responsibilities

• Conduct on-the-ground investigations across the manufacturing line to identify root causes of WIP yield loss, downtime, and dispensing-related deviations; design and execute concrete remediation plans.
• Spend consistent, hands-on time on the production floor observing multi-shift runs, partnering closely with operators and shift leads, and upskilling staff from an engineering perspective.
• Fine-tune, characterize, and troubleshoot multi-platform automated dispensing equipment, with an emphasis on low-viscosity fluid behavior, surface interaction, and tight tolerances.
• Plan, run, and evaluate production-line trials, applying structured problem-solving (e.g., DOE, root-cause methodology) to stabilize fluid deposition and process repeatability.
• Analyze sensor production and quality control data to track variability, spot drifting parameters early, and prove the statistical effectiveness of corrective actions.
• Act as the technical translator between equipment vendors, shop-floor operators, Process Engineering, Quality Assurance, and Regulatory Compliance to implement sustainable change controls.

Candidate Profile

• Deep Precision Dispensing Expertise (Min. 5+ Years). Practical, engineering-level experience in automated precision dispensing or fluid deposition, ideally with strong hands-on capability handling low-viscosity fluids. You have directly set up, fine-tuned, characterized, and troubleshot dispensing platforms (e.g., as a process development engineer, field application specialist, or vendor-facing integration expert)
• A track record of turning troubleshooting into verifiable production improvements (e.g., scrap reduction, cycle-time stabilization, yield improvements) backed by data
• You thrive at the machine side, enjoy working directly with operators across shifts, and communicate comfortably in an active manufacturing environment
• A completed technical degree (BSc/MSc in Process, Mechanical, Chemical, Materials, or Biomedical Engineering) or a completed vocational/technical qualification backed by robust, relevant engineering-level experience. Proven technical competence and practical problem-solving capability take precedence over formal titles

Nice to Haves

• Experience within Life Sciences, Medical Devices, Diagnostics, or another highly regulated GxP/GMP manufacturing setting.
• Familiarity with sensor manufacturing (e.g., electrochemical/analytical sensors, microassembly, functional coating, or cartridge assembly).
• Experience conducting non-conformity/deviation investigations, CAPAs, and technical change-control documentation.
• Hands-on familiarity with data tools for statistical process monitoring and data-driven troubleshooting.
• Prior background working for or closely interfacing with precision dispensing equipment vendors or automated system integrators.
