Your Job

We are seeking a skilled Mechanical Maintenance Engineer to oversee, maintain, and improve the mechanical systems of a vacuum-coated glass production line. The ideal candidate will have experience in high-vacuum systems, automation, and precision machinery. You will be responsible for ensuring equipment reliability, minimizing downtime, and implementing preventive and predictive maintenance strategies.

• Perform mechanical maintenance of vacuum coating equipment including magnetron sputtering systems, pumps, chillers, conveyors, and handling systems.
• Troubleshoot and repair mechanical failures on vacuum chambers, loading / unloading systems, and glass transport mechanisms.
• Develop and implement preventive maintenance (PM) schedules for all mechanical equipment in the coating line.
• Support production by minimizing unplanned downtime and ensuring maximum equipment availability.
• Monitor equipment performance and participate in root cause analysis (RCA) for chronic mechanical failures.
• Maintain documentation including maintenance logs, failure reports, and equipment manuals.
• Collaborate with electrical, automation, and process engineers to optimize line performance.
• Recommend and implement mechanical design improvements for reliability and efficiency.
• Maintain spare parts inventory and liaise with vendors for critical mechanical components.
• Ensure all maintenance activities comply with safety regulations and standard operating procedures.

• Education & Experience: Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
• 5+ years of experience in mechanical maintenance, preferably in glass processing, coating, or high-vacuum equipment.
• Technical Skills: Strong understanding of vacuum technology (e.g., rotary pumps, turbo pumps, diffusion pumps).
• Experience with HVAC systems, pneumatics, hydraulics, and industrial automation.
• Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings and equipment manuals.
• Familiarity with CMMS software (e.g., SAP PM, Maximo) is an advantage.
• Knowledge of glass handling, coating line mechanics, and material transport systems.
• Soft Skills: Strong problem-solving and analytical skills. Excellent communication and teamwork abilities. Ability to work under pressure and in rotating shifts (if required).

• Experience in glass coating (architectural, automotive, or solar) industries.
• Familiarity with PLC-controlled systems.
• Certification in maintenance reliability or vibration analysis is a plus.

• Factory-based role with exposure to heat, noise, and high-vacuum environments.
• May require working in shifts or on-call during emergencies.
• Use of PPE and adherence to strict safety protocols is mandatory.

Additionally, everyone has individual work and personal needs. We seek to enable the best work environment that helps you and the business work together to produce superior results.
