Beschreibung ###

As a first-tier supplier to our renowned business partner Roche Diagnostics in Rotkreuz, we are currently looking for a motivated and dedicated Senior Mechanical Engineer for a temporary assignment of 1 year, with high probability of extension.

Roche is seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to strengthen the cross-functional engineering team. In this role, the successful candidate will help shape the next generation of Blood Gas & Electrolytes (BG/E) Analyzers. This collaborative, high-impact position is located at the site in Rotkreuz, Switzerland, and offers the flexibility to tailor responsibilities to unique strengths.

The perfect candidate is a motivated Mechanical Engineer with a degree in Mechanical Engineering (FH/BSc/MSc) and 6-8 years of relevant industry experience. The ideal candidate possesses deep expertise in injection molding design and plastic technologies, with a strong background in Design for Manufacturability (DFM) across the full product development lifecycle. This role requires proficiency in CAD design - specifically SolidWorks - and experience in developing complex medical systems within a regulated environment. Roche values an analytical approach, the ability to manage multidisciplinary stakeholder and vendor relationships effectively, and a commitment to working within an agile, collaborative team structure. Professional proficiency in English is required for this project-based role, while German language skills are considered a distinct advantage.

Tasks & Responsibilities ###

• Project & Supplier Ownership: Take accountability for deliverables within a matrix-organized project structure; actively collaborate with external development partners and suppliers while driving own core work packages.
• Full Lifecycle Development: Lead all phases of mechanical development - from initial concept and design review through unit testing, bug fixing, and maintenance - with a current strategic focus on Design for Manufacturability (DFM).
• Advanced Plastics Engineering: Drive the architectural and detailed mechanical design of complex functional consumables, optimizing for high-volume injection molding and advanced plastic technologies.
• Agile Collaboration: Participate in defining, estimating, planning, and executing work packages within a sprint-based Agile environment, collaborating closely with Product Owners, Scrum Masters, Architects, and Developers.
• Advanced Engineering Analysis: Define and perform rigorous engineering analyses, including Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Tolerance Analysis, and various physics-based simulations.
• Technical Leadership & Mentorship: Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers, driving complex technical problem-solving and taking ownership of mission-critical tasks.
• Cross-Functional Reviews: Lead, execute, and contribute to comprehensive technical reviews involving diverse stakeholders across R&D, Operations, and Customer Support.

Must-Haves ###

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering (FH / BSc / MSc) with a minimum of 6-8 years of relevant, hands-on industry experience
• Plastics & Injection Molding Expertise: Superior, long-term proficiency in injection molding design and plastic technologies. Ideally, a proven track record of developing functional consumables with a focus on cost-optimized, large-scale series production
• Proven Lifecycle Expertise: Extensive professional experience driving all phases of mechanical development, with deep-rooted expertise in Design for Manufacturability (DFM)
• Stakeholder & Vendor Management: Demonstrated success working in multidisciplinary teams, with strong capabilities in managing external development partners and suppliers
• CAD & Standards Proficiency: Proficiency and willingness to perform hands-on CAD design (SolidWorks preferred, integrated with SAP) in strict compliance with ISO 8015 / Geometrical Product Specifications (GPS) for 2D drawings and 3D models
• Analytical Mindset: A strong affinity for methodical, systematic approaches in the early phases of product development, backed by solid fundamentals in physics and engineering
• Medical Device Background: Desired experience developing complex medical systems and integrating components such as pumps, valves, sensors, and temperature control elements within a regulated environment
• Agile Adaptability: Ready and motivated to thrive in a fully agile, transparent, and collaborative team environment
• Language Skills: Professional in English is a MUST (project language); listening and reading comprehension in German is a distinct advantage
