Job description

As a System Engineer (m/f/d), you will assume comprehensive technical responsibility for complex, customer-specific projects across all technology areas. In this key position, you will bridge the gap between individual customer requirements and robust, assembly-ready series or variant production. You will be the central point of contact for project management, development, and assembly, guiding forward-looking packaging systems from the initial sketch to final commissioning. Comprehensive system responsibility: You will act as the central technical contact for customer orders and support interfaces such as project management, assembly, commissioning, and service. Concept and solution development: You will analyze and evaluate specific customer requirements and translate them into viable, assembly-ready technical concepts. Proposal support: You will develop technical solution concepts for proposals and coordinate closely with sales, customers, and suppliers. Work package coordination: You will define, detail, and track work packages and provide technical leadership to internal and external engineering partners. Design reviews and risk assessment: You will prepare and conduct internal and external reviews and minimize technical risks at an early stage. Assembly and commissioning supervision: You will accompany operational runs directly at the machine, support commissioning, and provide advice in the event of complaints. Documentation and interfaces: You will create complete technical documentation and URS requirements, ensure compliance with standards, and coordinate interfaces for purchased components.

• Education: Successfully completed studies in mechanical engineering, mechatronics or a comparable technical qualification.

• Broad technological understanding: Sound knowledge across multiple domains (mechanics, electrical engineering, PLC, control software, HMI and print & vision).

• Industry experience: Experience in custom machine design (preferably special or variant machine construction), ideally with modular systems or in the field of pharmaceutical packaging processes.

• Software skills: Proficient use of 3D CAD systems (preferably SolidWorks) as well as PLM/ERP systems (especially SAP) and MS Office.

• Personality: High competence in concept development and problem-solving under time pressure, coupled with assertiveness and analytical thinking.

• Communication & Languages: Strong communication skills in dealing with interdisciplinary teams, as well as very good German and good English skills.
