Job Description Coherent Corp. is the global leader in photonics, designing and manufacturing advanced laser, optical, and material technologies used by customers worldwide across industrial, communications, electronics and instrumentation markets.
Location:
Zurich, Switzerland (Onsite) |
Employment Type:
Permanent, full-time
Job Summary As a Mechanical Design Engineer you will design and develop advanced manufacturing tooling, fixtures and production systems that enable the manufacture of cutting‑edge semiconductor laser technologies. This hands‑on engineering role focuses on complete manufacturing systems from concept and CAD design to prototype builds, pilot production equipment and release into manufacturing. You will work closely with production, engineering teams, suppliers and external partners to create innovative mechanical solutions that support prototype and high‑volume semiconductor manufacturing environments.
Key Responsibilities
Develop, document and release complex industrial systems used in the manufacture of semiconductor laser technologies.
Design complete manufacturing systems, including mechanical assemblies, pneumatics, vacuum systems, cooling solutions and production tooling.
Create detailed manufacturing documentation, engineering drawings, bills of materials and technical release packages.
Manage procurement of components and coordinate with suppliers throughout the development process.
Develop and implement pilot production equipment, prototypes and manufacturing fixtures.
Support ongoing process development and continuous improvement activities within manufacturing operations.
Troubleshoot equipment and process challenges, identifying practical and effective engineering solutions.
Collaborate with internal stakeholders across engineering, manufacturing and operations teams, as well as external suppliers and partners.
Provide technical expertise and engineering support to various organizational units and manufacturing projects.
Qualifications Option 1:
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics or a related engineering discipline.
Option 2:
Technical apprenticeship in Mechanical Design, Polymechanics, Mechatronics or a related field, combined with further education as an HF or FH Engineer.
2‑3 years of experience designing and developing manufacturing equipment, production tooling or special‑purpose machinery.
Skills & Other Requirements
Strong experience with CAD systems, preferably SolidWorks.
Experience designing and developing complete mechanical systems rather than individual components.
Knowledge of pneumatics, vacuum technology, cooling systems or industrial manufacturing equipment.
Basic understanding of electrical engineering principles and electromechanical systems.
Ability to independently manage projects and drive engineering solutions from concept through implementation.
Structured, precise and solution‑oriented approach to problem‑solving.
Strong communication and stakeholder management skills with the ability to collaborate effectively across functions.
Fluent German (minimum C1 level) and basic working proficiency in English.
Hands‑on mindset with a passion for building, testing and improving real‑world engineering solutions.
EEO Statement We are committed to creating an inclusive and accessible recruitment experience and encourage applications from individuals of all backgrounds.
