Job description

Roche Diagnostics in Rotkreuz (ZG), the world leader in in‑vitro diagnostics, is looking for a motivated individual with experience in deep precision dispensing and sensor manufacturing

MSAT PPS Engineer – Precision Dispensing & Sensor Manufacturing (a)

Manufacturing Science & Technology (MSAT) serves as the global enabling function for the Sensors & Cartridges (S&C) network. Our mandate spans from supporting early-stage concept ideas to delivering seamless design transfers into routine manufacturing and driving sustainable product care across the entire product lifecycle. We are organized into technology areas and multidisciplinary Squads supported by Chapters. By combining deep technical expertise, continuous learning, and systems thinking, we constantly improve manufacturing operations across our global network.

• 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
• University Degree BSc/MSc in Process, Mechanical, Chemical, Materials, or Biomedical Engineering or a completed vocational/technical qualification backed by robust, relevant engineering-level experience
• >5 years of Deep Precision Dispensing Expertise
• First experience in a highly regulated production environment (GxP)
• Practical, engineering-level experience in automated precision dispensing or fluid deposition, ideally with strong hands‑on capability handling low-viscosity fluids
• 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
• 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
• Fluent in English, German at least B2 level
• Familiarity with sensor manufacturing (e.g., electrochemical/analytical sensors, microassembly, functional coating, or cartridge assembly) is an advantage
• Familiarity with sensor manufacturing (e.g., electrochemical/analytical sensors, micro assembly, functional coating, or cartridge assembly) is an advantage
