Manufacturing Engineer Apprentice

Job Description Summary

You will initially support our Repair Center, where medical equipment and components are repaired, refurbished, tested and prepared for reuse. As you gain experience, you will have the opportunity to work across different operational areas and gain broader exposure to our refurbishment and repair processes.

This is a great opportunity for an engineering student or fresh graduate who would like to gain practical experience in a manufacturing and repair environment and work closely with experienced engineers and technicians on real production challenges.

Job Description

This is a full-time (40 hours/week), entry-level apprenticeship designed for individuals at the beginning of their professional careers. The role is offered on a two-year fixed-term contract, with the possibility of extension.

Key responsibilities/essential functions include:

• Support the daily activities of the Manufacturing Engineering team
• Work closely with manufacturing engineers, technicians, quality and other operational teams
• Support engineering activities related to the repair, refurbishment, testing and reuse of medical equipment and components
• Help investigate and resolve technical issues identified during repair, testing or production
• Support troubleshooting of equipment, test systems, tools and components
• Assist with issues related to replaced or refurbished parts, including supplier-related topics when needed
• Support the preparation, maintenance and continuous improvement of work instructions and manufacturing documentation
• Contribute to ensuring that repair and refurbishment processes meet applicable quality and manufacturing requirements
• Participate in process improvement and problem-solving activities
• Support engineering-related administrative and documentation tasks
• Gradually gain exposure to other activities at the site

Qualifications / Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in an engineering field (or ongoing studies with 40 hours availability), such as Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering or a related discipline
• Previus internship, student work or project experience in a manufacturing, production, maintenance or engineering environment
• Basic technical understanding and willingness to work in a hands-on engineering environment
• Good problem-solving and analytical skills
• Willingness to learn and work with technical documentation and work instructions
• Good communication and collaboration skills
• Working knowledge of English and Hungarian
• Ability to work on-site in Páty (5 days/week)

Preferred Qualifications

• Basic understanding of manufacturing processes, technical drawings or testing
• Familiarity with root cause analysis, Lean manufacturing or continuous improvement principles is an advantage
• Comfortable working with both practical engineering tasks and documentation

What makes this role interesting?

You will not be limited to one narrow engineering area. While you will start by supporting the Repair Center, the goal is to gradually expose you to different repair, refurbishment and manufacturing processes across the Páty site.

You will work on a wide variety of real engineering challenges, from troubleshooting a testing issue or investigating a problem identified by technicians, to improving work instructions or supporting an issue with a refurbished component. This makes the role especially suitable for someone who wants to build a broad manufacturing engineering foundation early in their career.
