Full job description
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 Jobs in Switzerland on Arbeitnow
