We are looking for a hands-on Process Development Engineer to help industrialize and scale up medical device consumables. You will own process development, design transfer, and manufacturing optimisation together with our contract manufacturers (CMOs) in Europe and Central America. The work is cross-functional, the environment is growing fast, and the role comes with real ownership over how things get built.
Your goal is to establish production processes that are robust, scalable, and cost-efficient. You will work independently, travel regularly (30-40% international), and collaborate closely with Quality, Operations, Supply Chain, R&D, and external suppliers. This is a technical role where problem-solving matters more than presentations.
Your main Tasks
Lead and support design transfer activities to external manufacturing partners (CMOs), including product and engineering changes
Optimize and scale manufacturing and assembly processes for medical device consumables in collaboration with external manufacturing partners
Support process validation activities (IQ/OQ/PQ), equipment qualification, and manufacturing readiness
Identify and implement process and automation improvements to increase robustness, reduce manufacturing risks, and improve efficiency
Collaborate closely with suppliers and cross-functional teams including Quality, Operations, Supply Chain, and R&D
Your profile
Degree in Production Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Medical Engineering, or similar technical field
5–10 years of experience in process development, industrialization, manufacturing engineering, or design transfer within MedTech, preferably in plastic part assembly and consumable manufacturing
Knowledge of medical device production standards, sterilization processes and regulated manufacturing environments
Independent and structured working style with strong ownership mindset
Fluent in English; German and/or Spanish are considered a plus
Willingness to travel internationally (30–40%)
