SundC MSAT Process Engineer (m/f/d)  

As a first-tier supplier to our renowned business partner Roche Diagnostics in Rotkreuz, we are currently looking for a motivated and dedicated S&C MSAT Process Engineer for a temporary assignment of 12 months, with high probability of extension.

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), the focus is 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 patients and customers. Supported by a squad and the 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, an experienced engineer is required to provide technical support for the newly built sequencing production in daily business as well as in improvement projects within a matrix structure.
