Our medical devices are complex systems that combine mechanical, electronic, and software components. As a Senior Engineer, Product Change, you will play a key role in ensuring that changes to these products are implemented efficiently, safely, and in line with the highest quality standards. You will lead product changes from initial assessment to successful implementation, bring together experts from different disciplines, make sure that every change is executed in a structured and compliant way, and contribute hands-on as an engineer to the implementation. Whether you are starting your career after graduation or already have first professional experience, we will support you in growing into this role.

Your Key Responsibilities

• Take ownership of product changes, from initiation and impact assessment through implementation and closure, with increasing responsibility over time.
• Assess the impact of changes on design, quality, manufacturing, regulatory, and documentation, in close collaboration with subject matter experts and coordinate the required actions.
• Develop and manage implementation plans in our PLM system.
• Coordinate activities, timelines, deliverables, and dependencies, and ensure clear communication and alignment across internal and external stakeholders.
• Drive execution, identify roadblocks, and help manage risks proactively.
• Actively implement changes as an engineer – in mechanics, electronics, or both, depending on your background.
• Ensure that change documentation is accurate, complete, and audit-ready.

What We Are Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering (e.g., mechanical, mechatronics, or electrical engineering) or a comparable qualification.
• Technical understanding of products combining mechanical, electronic, and software components.
• Good communication skills and the confidence to align with colleagues across different functions.
• Good organizational skills and the ability to keep track of several activities and priorities.
• Analytical and structured mindset with the ability to recognize dependencies, assess risks, and solve problems.
• Collaborative team player with high level of ownership who works effectively across functions, cultures, and levels of the organization.
• Fluent German and English (at least C1 level).

Preferred Skills

• Experience working as an engineer in regulated industries, ideally medical devices.
• Experience with PLM systems and product lifecycle processes.
• Basic knowledge of quality management and regulatory requirements such as ISO 13485, EU MDR, or FDA 21 CFR Part 820.
• Experience with change control boards and controlled documentation.
