Background:

Roche Sequencing systems represent a crucial frontier in diagnostics, delivering advanced genomic insights that are critical for personalized healthcare and patient welfare. Within the technology area Sensor & Cartridge Operations (S&C), they focus on cutting-edge Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) platforms. The team proudly works on a highly innovative, revolutionary product currently in its Research Use Only (RUO) phase, which is being manufactured in parallel across two global sites: Santa Clara (USA) and Rotkreuz (Switzerland). This product leverages breakthrough complementary metal-oxide- semiconductor (CMOS) sensor modules and sequencing by expansion (SBX) nanopore technology to fundamentally transform genomics.

As an MSAT Process Engineer (PE), you will have a direct impact on and bring value to the patients and customers. Supported by your squad and PE team, you will start with core compliance tasks, such as non-conformity, change, and document management and continuously grow in your role, taking on increased responsibility for products and processes.

For the team in Rotkreuz, we are looking for an experienced engineer to provide technical support for our newly built sequencing production in daily business as well as in improvement projects within a matrix structure. If you have a background in a regulated environment, a knack for compliance, a big-picture mindset, and thrive in a fast-paced, agile environment where no two days are the same, you will fit right in!

Tasks & Responsibilities:

  • Shopfloor Support & SME Role: Provide direct, hands-on technical support for daily production operations. Act as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) to support production operators during the exciting ramp-up phase of our newly established production line

  • Technical Supplier Management (TSM): Gradually take over the technical relationships with external suppliers to secure our global supply chain

Must Haves:

  • A University degree in Natural Sciences or Engineering (e.g., Biotechnology, Biology, Chemistry, Molecular Biology, Material Science, Mechanical/Electrical Engineering) and/or a completed apprenticeship with equivalent professional experience in a related field
  • 1-3 years proven professional experience within a highly regulated environment, backed by a strong quality awareness (GxP mindset)
  • High motivation for teamwork, excellent communication skills, and the ability to work independently within and across multi-disciplinary teams 
  • Enthusiasm for taking on responsibility and proactively collaborating with a highly engaged team of engineers, operators, QA, and logistics 
  • A genuine interest in learning manufacturing technologies and continuously improving diverse sequencing processes to support our in-house production efficiently
  • Fluent communication skills in English and a good working knowledge of German (B2+)

Nice to Have:

  • Experience in data-driven process monitoring and the ability to analyze key production performance indicators
  • Practical knowledge in planning and executing experiments, ideally utilizing statistical tools like Design of Experiments (DoEs) in a lab or production environment
  • Strong coaching and communication skills to act as a Subject Matter Expert (SME), with a passion for supporting shopfloor operators during a production line ramp-up
  •  

What you will be offered:

  • An opportunity to work in one of the world's most important pharmaceutical companies
