Robotics Manufacturing Engineer

About this role

The Robotics Manufacturing Engineer drives industrialization and manufacturing engineering for the Dexter surgical robot and its accessories by owning mechanical and mechatronic sustaining engineering, manufacturing testing, root-cause analysis of manufacturing issues, and design transfer. The role operates in a regulated ISO 13485 environment, with the CMO as the primary production site. Duties and Responsibilities : • Act as the manufacturing link between the CMO, supply chain, quality and R D (HQ), and support the commercial ramp-up of Dexter production. • Perform level-2 production troubleshooting and mechanical root-cause analysis on complex electromechanical assemblies. • Initiate and execute Change Requests, and associated Design Transfers, end-to-end in the regulated QMS, assess change impact on technical and quality aspects. • Edit existing SolidWorks drawings, assemblies and BOMs to reflect manufacturing-level changes and submit rev-ups to R D for review and approval. • Contribute to pFMEA, DFM reviews, work instruction authorship and inspection plans; participate in IQ/OQ/PQ execution and reporting. • Maintain manufacturing tools and test equipment and ensure they remain properly calibrated at the CMO site. • Train CMO personnel on updated processes and documentation, and drive best practices and continuous improvement on the line. • Ensure compliance with applicable norms and regulations, and maintain QMS documents and records — including Device History Records (DHR) capturing all Dexter robot configurations Requirements Work Experience and Education requirements : • MSc or BSc with relevant experience in mechanical or mechatronics engineering. • 3–6 years in medical device manufacturing (Class II). • Hands-on experience with complex electromechanical assemblies in production. • Working knowledge of ISO 13485 and demonstrated change-control execution experience. • Strong plus: experience at a CMO / managing production at a sub-contractor site; surgical robotics, motion systems or implantable device background; design transfer ownership on a Class IIb or III device. Knowledge, Skills Abilities required : • Mechanical integration expertise: tolerance stack-up and interference assessment on complex assemblies without R D escalation. • SolidWorks at sustaining level: edit drawings, assemblies and BOMs; assess interferences, tolerances, fatigue and material/process constraints. • Hands-on, floor-present approach; rigorous on documentation closure. • Comfortable operating with indirect authority at a CMO site. • Fluent written and spoken English. • Open to travel, up to 60% (German-speaking Switzerland and broader Europe). • Strong plus: French or German speaker. Benefits What we offer : A dynamic, innovative environment with cutting-edge medical technology that is shaping the future of robotic surgery. Fast-growing Company where innovation meets agility. Structured onboarding program and training, ensuring a confident start. High degree of autonomy and flexibility. Find more English Speaking Jobs in Switzerland on Arbeitnow
