About the Job

Requirements

  • A completed degree in a science or engineering field, such as measurement technology, optics/photonics, mechanical engineering, physics, precision engineering, industrial engineering, or an equivalent qualification.
  • Practical experience in industrial measurement technology, optical manufacturing, manufacturing measurement technology, process development, or production engineering.
  • Understanding of measurement chains, measurement uncertainty, repeatability and reproducibility, inspection planning, and statistical evaluation of measurement and process data.
  • Knowledge of optical manufacturing and inspection methods, and of selecting, qualifying, and transferring measurement methods and measurement equipment into series production.
  • Ability to apply structured problem-solving methods such as root-cause analysis, design of experiments, risk assessment, and sustainable process stabilization.
  • Ability to communicate clearly across interfaces and explain complex technical matters appropriately to manufacturing, engineering, development, quality, and management.
  • An independent, analytical, solution-oriented working style with a strong quality focus.
  • Fluent German and good written and spoken English.

Responsibilities

  • Ensure the stability of relevant measurement processes in Optical Engineering, perform systematic root-cause analyses, and implement appropriate corrective actions for deviations.
  • Develop, evaluate, and optimize measurement strategies for optical components and manufacturing processes, focusing on reproducible measurement results, process capability, and reliable decision-making.
  • Identify new or improved measurement methods, support trials, and transfer approved solutions into series production.
  • Define requirements for measurement equipment, fixtures, evaluation logic, and inspection procedures; technically prepare investment needs and support implementation, acceptance, and handover to manufacturing.
  • Support quotation, prototype, and series-launch processes through technical evaluation of drawings, specifications, customer requirements, and manufacturability aspects.
  • Collaborate closely with production, production planning, development, quality, procurement, supply chain management, and suppliers, representing the measurement engineering perspective in cross-functional projects.
  • Document relevant measurement processes, standards, and lessons learned; qualify users through training or technical instruction when needed.
  • Independently take ownership of work packages, partial project responsibility, or project leadership when introducing new measurement and manufacturing technologies.
  • Advance the digitalization of measurement processes through data-driven analyses, automated reports, and digital standards and templates, working with software and information technology teams to make measurement results reproducible and traceable through software.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience in project management is advantageous.
