MSAT Precision Dispensing & Sensor Manufacturing Engineer

Manufacturing Science & Technology (MSAT) serves as the global enabling function for the Sensors & Cartridges (S&C) network. Their 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.

They are organized into technology areas and multidisciplinary Squads supported by Chapters. By combining deep technical expertise, continuous learning, and systems thinking, they constantly improve manufacturing operations across our global network. Their daily collaboration is grounded in four core values: Courage, Transparency, Open-Mindedness, and a Can-Do Attitude.

Based at the site in Rotkreuz, this role sits within the Product & Process Science (PPS) group. You will apply hands-on precision dispensing expertise directly where it matters most: on the production floor, working shoulder-to-shoulder with process engineers, shift operators, and quality teams to stabilize processes, minimize scrap, and boost product quality.

Your 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.

Your Profile

• Proven expertise in setting up, optimizing and troubleshooting dispensing equipment.

• Track record of measurable production improvements (yield, scrap, cycle time).

• Strong shop-floor mentality, comfortable working directly with machines and operators.

• Solid skills in root-cause analysis, statistical methods and process optimization.

• Good understanding of material properties, dispensing parameters and equipment.

• Languages: Fluent English and German (minimum B2).

What We Offer

• The opportunity to work for one of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies.
• A modern campus with extensive green spaces and meeting areas.
• A central location with easy access to the motorway and a nearby train station.
• A varied range of responsibilities.
• The opportunity to work in a dynamic and motivated team of 10.
• Very good compensation.
