This role sits at the heart of our Custom Engineering organization, where you will collaborate closely with Mechanical, Electrical, and Automation design engineers, as well as Production, Manufacturing, Service, and Verification teams.
Most projects are customer‑specific, run for 6–12 months, and involve cross‑functional teams of 8–10 colleagues.

• Coordinate design activities across Mechanical, Electrical, and Automation engineering disciplines to ensure cohesive system integration.
• Select components and equipment that meet functional, quality, and regulatory requirements.
• Ensure full regulatory compliance of the product throughout the design process.
• Collaborate with Production, Verification, Manufacturing, and Service teams to support smooth project execution and product lifecycle continuity.
• Represent the design team during customer acceptance testing, providing technical expertise and ensuring successful handover.

Who you are:

• You hold an MSc or BSc in Engineering, Physics, or Biotechnology, or have equivalent knowledge and experience.
• You have previous experience in product or process development with a strong technical interest.
• You are quality-focused, preferably with experience in project management and in regulated environments.
• You enjoy working in smaller teams and have excellent communication skills.
• You are a self-starter—energized and results-oriented.
  You are service-minded, comfortable leading others, and a strong problem solver.
• You are proficient in English, written and spoken.

It would be a plus if you also possess previous experience in:
