Job description

If you are enthusiastic about driving positive change and eager to shape the future of technology in a dynamic, international environment, we invite you to join our Operational Excellence team.

About The Role

Ready to make an impact in complex production planning by improving systems, process design, and planning logic?

We are seeking a talented and driven Process Engineer Production Planning to join our team. In this role, you act as a key functional specialist for production planning software such as APS (Advanced Planning & Scheduling) and SAP (ERP). You bridge the gap between business and system logic by translating planning requirements into smarter, robust system solutions. This role is ideal for professionals with 4–7 years of experience who have a solid foundation in production planning and want to further deepen their impact in process and system design.

You will design, transform, and scale the production planning process in a complex, high‑tech manufacturing environment, where system choices directly impact planning performance. The roadmap includes SAP ERP upgrade, APS improvements, S&OP improvements, manufacturing configuration changes, Lean integration, and the setup of a new production site.

Key Responsibilities

• Optimize production planning processes by shaping and improving advanced planning tools
• Improve planner productivity, enhancing planning reliability, and ensure seamless integration in supply chain processes and data-driven planning systems
• Analyze processes to identify inefficiencies and areas for improvement within production planning, then translate these ideas into actionable process optimizations
• Translate planning complexity into clear, manageable processes, including multi‑level BOMs, complex routings, capacity constraints, and interdependent planning rules
• Collaborate with Production, Planning teams and IT specialists, to ensure business requirements are accurately integrated into system logic (e.g. scheduling rules, capacity constraints, pull triggers).

What We Offer

• A performance-based salary that grows with your results
• 33 vacation days (including public holidays) plus 13 additional ADV days per year to support a healthy work–life balance
• Pension plan and travel allowance for on-site working days

• A young, entrepreneurial, and innovative company culture
• Flexible working hours in a 24/7 environment, with free lunch or dinner on-site
• iPhone, laptop, and other necessary tools to help you perform your work optimally
• Free sports facilities on campus to help you stay healthy and fit.

What You Bring

• Master’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Supply Chain, or a related technical field
• 4+ years experience in similar role
• Strong foundation in Production planning, Capacity planning and Scheduling
• Experience in Supply chain analysis and Process optimization
• Proficiency in planning software; Experience in OMP and SAP PP/MM is a plus
• Proven ability to translate conceptual ideas into practical improvements
