- Work closely with machinery suppliers on upgrades, extensions, and automation.
- Ensure alignment between on-site activities and internal engineering teams (regular interactions and travels to Switzerland)
- Maintain clear and structured reporting on technical issues, root cause analyses, corrective actions, implementation progress, and outcomes.
- Capture learnings and standardize solutions for rollout to future customer factories.
Requirements
- Mechanical Engineer background (industrial equipment, machinery design). Process / materials knowledge is a plus.
- Not afraid to get hands dirty; pragmatic, on‑site, solution‑oriented mindset.
- Experience in industrial environments, factory commissioning, or scale‑up projects is a strong asset.
- Ability to independently design, procure and implement mechanical solutions, from concept to industrial deployment.
- Competence in coordinating external suppliers and industrial service providers from specification through implementation.
- Fluent in Spanish and English; German is a plus.
- Willingness to be based at customer site most of the time + regular travel to Switzerland
- Comfortable working with operators, engineers, and suppliers.
Benefits
- Impact: play a key role in ramping up our first industrial-scale factory and bring breakthrough technology into real-world operation.
- Growth: steep learning curve at the interface of process engineering, materials, and industrial scale-up in a fast-moving start-up.
- International exposure: work across Switzerland, Spain, and with global partners.
