MSAT PPS Engineer-925380

ITech Consult AG; Zug; On-site; CHF 100,000 - 140,000; Full time

Job summary

ITech Consult AG seeks an MSAT PPS Engineer focusing on sensor manufacturing and dispensing processes. You will work on root-cause investigations across the production line, partnering with operators and shift leads to implement remediation plans and stabilize processes.

You will fine-tune multi-platform dispensing equipment, run DOE-based trials, and translate technical changes between vendors, shop-floor teams, and QA/regulatory functions to sustain long-term improvements.

Qualifications

• Deep precision dispensing expertise with hands-on experience on dispensing platforms.
• Proven ability to turn troubleshooting into verifiable production improvements backed by data.
• Comfortable working on the machine side with operators across shifts.
• Completed technical degree (BSc/MSc in Process, Mechanical, Chemical, Materials, or Biomedical Engineering).
• Proficient in root-cause analysis, basic statistics, and structured experimentation.

Responsibilities

• Investigate root causes on the manufacturing line to reduce WIP yield loss and downtime.
• Observe multi-shift runs and upskill shop-floor staff from an engineering perspective.
• Fine-tune and troubleshoot multi-platform automated dispensing equipment for low-viscosity fluids.
• Plan and evaluate production-line trials using DOE and structured problem-solving.
• Analyze sensor production and quality data to track variability and verify corrective actions.
• Serve as a technical translator between vendors, shop-floor, Process Engineering, QA, and Regulatory Compliance.

Job description

MSAT PPS Engineer: Sensor Manufacturing / RCA / Medical Devices / chemical labs / manufacturing / quality control / Diagnostics / CAPA / production improvements / English / Deutsch

Tasks & 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.

Must Haves:

• 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
• Confident using root-cause analysis, basic statistical methods, and structured experimentation to make evidence-based decisions.
• Solid understanding of material properties, dispensing parameters and equipment condition
• Languages: Fluent English (working project language) combined with German skills at a minimum B2 level to communicate smoothly with shop-floor teams.

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.
