Beschreibung ###

As a first-tier supplier to our renowned business partner Roche Diagnostics in Rotkreuz, we are currently looking for a motivated and dedicated Technical Supplier Manager - Technical Project Lead & Process Design for a temporary assignment of 18 months, with high probability of extension.

At Roche Diagnostics, life-critical diagnostic solutions are developed and delivered to empower healthcare professionals and patients around the globe. Within the Manufacturing Science and Technology (MSAT) organization, an essential pillar of the Global Instrument Network (GIN), the company is seeking an experienced, driven Technical Supplier Manager. In this role, you will be the vital technical bridge connecting internal engineering and operations teams with the global network of contract manufacturing partners. You will take technical ownership of instrument components, subassemblies, and production lines. A primary pillar of your daily work is robust manufacturing process design, architecting, validating, and industrializing stable production processes both internally and across supplier sites. Alongside this focus, you will serve as the Technical Project Lead for Technical Transfers (External to External), leading international technology migrations, second-sourcing ramp-ups, and capacity expansions to ensure long-term supply security and premium product quality.

Tasks & Responsibilities ###

Manufacturing Process Design & Industrialization (Core Activity)

  • Process Architecture & Development: Actively design, optimize, and industrialize robust manufacturing and testing processes for instrument components, electronics, and precision assemblies across the external supply base
  • Process Capability & Validation: Define process validation strategies (IQ/OQ/PQ), design verification protocols, and establish process capability baselines (Cp/Cpk analysis, tolerance studies, and Gage R&R)
  • Design for Excellence (DfX): Partner closely with R&D during early product development to embed Design for Manufacturing, Assembly, and Testability principles into component designs, preventing manufacturing bottlenecks and driving yield optimization
  • Process Risk & Mitigation: Lead process failure mode and effects analysis (pFMEA), establish poka-yoke (error-proofing) controls, and drive root-cause investigations to engineer out process vulnerabilities

Technical Project Leadership & External-to-External (E2E) Transfers

  • Lead Technology Transfers: Steer end-to-end technical transfers between external contract manufacturers and suppliers (External-to-External), including production line relocations, tool duplications, and second-source qualifications
  • Project Governance & Milestones: Establish qualification master plans (QMPs), define project schedules, align critical milestones, and report progress transparently to cross-functional leadership within MSAT and GIN
  • Cross-Partner Synchronization: Lead technical alignment and change control across originating sites, receiving supplier facilities, Roche Global Sourcing, Quality Assurance, and Regulatory Affairs

Technical Supplier Stewardship & Operations Support

  • Supplier Performance & Monitoring: Monitor supplier process stability, technical KPIs, and component quality trends across the complete instrument lifecycle
  • Deviation Handling & SCARs: Lead technical problem-solving teams (8D, Ishikawa, 5-Why) for component deviations; resolve Supplier Corrective Action Requests sustainably
  • Supplier Technical Assessments: Conduct technical evaluations and audits of potential and existing suppliers as part of the formal supplier qualification process
  • Operations Projects: Steer supplier-side engineering changes (without spec change), capacity expansions, and continuous line stabilization initiatives

Must Haves ###

  • A University degree (Bachelor's, Master's, or Higher Technical Diploma) in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Process Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related technical field
  • At least 5-6+ years of relevant industry experience in manufacturing process design, technical supplier management, industrialization, or manufacturing engineering, ideally within medical devices, in-vitro diagnostics (IVD), pharmaceuticals, or precision high-tech equipment
  • Process Design Expertise: Proven hands-on track record in designing, qualifying, and optimizing manufacturing and test processes; strong command of statistical process control (SPC), capability studies (Cpk), measurement systems analysis (MSA), and pFMEA
  • Technical Project Leadership: Demonstrated leadership in complex technical projects, specifically external-to-external technology transfers, second-sourcing initiatives, or major line ramp-ups; formal PM certification (PMP, IPMA, Agile) is an asset
  • Manufacturing Technologies: Deep technical understanding of precision manufacturing technologies (e.g., injection molding, precision mechanics/machining, electronics assembly, automated testing) along with an understanding of production cost drivers and cycle time optimization
  • Regulatory & Quality Standards: Practical knowledge of ISO 13485, GMP/FDA regulations, process validation frameworks (IQ/OQ/PQ), and formal change management procedures
  • Mindset & Communication: Pragmatic, innovative problem solver with a "think-out-of-the-box" attitude and strong intercultural stakeholder management and communication skills
  • Languages & Mobility: Professional fluency in English and German (written and spoken); willingness to travel globally (approx. 20-30%) for supplier on-site process reviews, audits, and transfer milestones

Benefits ###

  • Become part of one of the most prestigious pharmaceutical companies and actively shape the future of healthcare
  • Experience a work culture that promotes diversity and inclusion and where all employees feel valued
  • Work on a state-of-the-art campus featuring green spaces, meeting areas, and an inspiring atmosphere
  • Work with modern and up-to-date tools in an innovative work environment
  • Start with a professional onboarding process and a thorough introduction to your new role during the Welcome Days
  • Benefit from financial support for your professional development plans
  • Enjoy a selection of high-quality meals in modern staff restaurants
  • As part of a sustainable mobility concept, on-site parking spaces are available to you
  • Take advantage of unbeatable, year-round discounts at renowned retailers and over 200 top brands
  • Benefit from fleet discounts when purchasing new cars or receive constant fuel discounts

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.
