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.
