Manufacturing Engineer
The Opportunity
Are you a self-driven engineer who thrives on the shop floor? We are looking for a pragmatic, structured, and hands-on Manufacturing Engineer to join our Production and Maintenance Team in the heart of Zurich.
In this role, you work in the value stream, taking responsibility for our daily manufacturing operations. You provide first-level support and diagnose technical issues to maintain throughput and testing uptime. Your scope includes the maintenance of our current robot generation and driving the NPI execution on the shop floor, specifically the build and troubleshooting of prototypes and zero-series units.
You act as the interface between Industrialisation, Quality, R&D, Supply Chain, and Logistics, while collaborating with our EMS partner to ensure stable series production. If you have an "on-hands" mentality and want to implement KPIs to resolve bottlenecks in a high-tech scale-up, this is your next challenge.
The Market & Our Technology
ANYbotics transforms the industrial sector by introducing robotics to a wide range of novel applications that so far were beyond reach (see our case studies in Chemicals, Oil & Gas, Railways, Wind Energy, Mining, Construction). Our customers are large asset operators and service providers of industrial plants pioneering robotics technology for inspection and maintenance. Our solution enables autonomous routine inspections and monitoring of large-scale industrial facilities for increased safety and productivity. We develop numerous customized hardware systems, including the entire robotic platform, actuators, sensors, inspection payloads, charging systems, and software to achieve world-class mobility, autonomy, and inspection capabilities, often based on AI. We have proven the technology and the business impact on our customers in long-term pilot projects. We are now scaling the commercialization of our solution(s) and deploying directly into operation at customer facilities worldwide.
