• Solve problems sustainably: You will investigate technical issues at the system level, coordinate root cause analyses, and develop sustainable solutions together with subject matter experts.
• Provide technical leadership: You will coordinate the disciplines of mechanics, electronics, and software, facilitate technical decisions, and ensure the overall system remains aligned with product objectives.
• Shape product strategy: You will work closely with Product Management, assess technical opportunities and risks, prepare decision-making foundations, and support the strategic development of the product portfolio.

What You Should Bring

• Technical education: You hold a degree or advanced qualification (HF, FH, ETH, University) in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Systems mindset: You have 3 to 8 years of experience in plant engineering, product development, or a technically demanding industrial environment.
