Translates customer requirements into optical concepts, performs Zemax simulations, selects components, and develops prototypes. Integrates, aligns, tests, and validates optical systems throughout the product development cycle. Requires collaboration with multidisciplinary engineering teams and customers, with applications potentially spanning semiconductor, analytical, medical, and photonics markets.

Manage customer projects from quotation and order intake through manufacturing and delivery of complex opto-mechanical systems. Coordinate multidisciplinary manufacturing, supply chain, quality, and engineering teams while achieving quality, logistics, technology, and cost targets. Responsibilities include project planning, risk and change management, stakeholder coordination, customer expectation management, and resolving operational and technical challenges.

Lead NPI engineering and project management to deliver new products on time, in scope, and within budget. Develop NPI strategy, manage cross-functional teams, governance, KPIs, budgets, risk mitigation, process improvements, and ensure smooth transition to high-volume manufacturing while interfacing with stakeholders and customers.

Translate customer E-BOMs into production-oriented M-BOMs, maintain article and BOM data in ERP, manage configuration changes, visualize inventory impacts, and collaborate with engineering, supply chain and production to improve logistics processes and data quality.

Multiple internship and graduation projects across additive manufacturing, mechanical engineering, and IT support. Work includes thermal FEM modeling, designing 3D-printed fixtures, testing printed part properties, and providing helpdesk support for hardware. Candidates receive guidance, equipment if needed, and work in a high-tech environment.

Plan medium- and long-term production capacity and schedules in the ERP system, align lead times and priorities, detect and resolve material or capacity bottlenecks, manage rush orders, advise production management, set logistical parameters, and frequently coordinate with the shop floor to ensure reliable delivery.

Perform literature study and analyze performance of an interferometric focus sensor lab setup. Propose and verify improvements, redesign for outside-lab use, and, time permitting, build and experimentally validate a prototype.

Lead global category strategy for mechanical parts and assemblies, drive strategic sourcing, supplier development, contract negotiations, TCO and should-cost analysis, and manage cross-functional sourcing projects to ensure quality, cost efficiency, and supply continuity.
