The posting

Development Engineer – Mechatronics & Embedded Systems

Zürich Region, Switzerland (Hybrid)

Do you enjoy taking an engineering idea and turning it into something you can actually build, program, assemble and test?

I'm working with an established Swiss high-tech company looking to strengthen its advanced engineering team with a multidisciplinary Development Engineer.

This is a highly practical role for someone who doesn't want to be restricted to just electronics, software or mechanical engineering. You will work across all three, developing physical demonstrators and experimental systems used to explore new technologies and future product possibilities.

You could be designing a component in CAD one day, integrating electronics and writing embedded code the next, before taking the complete system into the lab for testing.

Your role

You will take ownership of practical engineering projects from initial idea through to a working demonstrator.

Your work will include:

  • Designing and building electromechanical prototypes and experimental systems
  • Integrating electronic components, microcontrollers and mechanical assemblies
  • Developing and adapting embedded software / firmware for prototype applications
  • Creating mechanical parts and assemblies using 3D CAD
  • Using 3D printing and other rapid-manufacturing techniques to produce prototype components
  • Selecting and integrating suitable components, interfaces and technologies
  • Assembling, debugging and testing complete systems in the laboratory
  • Running experiments to understand technical feasibility and performance
  • Rapidly modifying designs based on test results and engineering feedback
  • Working alongside specialists from different technical disciplines to solve complex development challenges

What we are looking for

We're particularly interested in engineers with a broad technical foundation rather than specialists who want to remain within one narrow discipline.

You should ideally bring:

Degree in Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering or a comparable technical discipline

Practical electronics development experience

Exposure to microcontrollers / embedded software / firmware

Mechanical design and 3D CAD experience

Experience with 3D printing or rapid prototyping

Confidence building and troubleshooting physical systems

Strong practical engineering and problem-solving ability

Curiosity and willingness to learn technologies outside your core specialism

You don't need to be an expert in every area. A strong background in several of these disciplines combined with the motivation to broaden your technical capabilities is particularly interesting.

Why consider it?

You will be joining a successful, internationally active Swiss technology business with a strong engineering culture and significant investment in R&D and innovation.

Rather than maintaining established products, you'll spend much of your time exploring what could come next.

You will have the opportunity to work with experienced engineers from multiple disciplines, access excellent development and laboratory facilities, and contribute to technically challenging projects with genuine commercial potential.

It's an environment that offers considerable room to experiment, build, test and learn — with the stability and resources of an established technology company behind you.

Modern R&D and laboratory infrastructure

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
