We are looking for a R&D Engineer to join our Technology & Innovation team in Oberwinterthur.

You will be part of our R&D team, where you will have the opportunity to experience the development of new products from the ideation phase to market ready products for our Separation Technology business unit. Typical products that we develop are structured and random packings, trays, separators, and static mixers, which are essential for the chemical industry as well as for upcoming sustainable technologies such as carbon capture, bio refineries and emission control.

Our R&D facilities provide a collaborative setting where practical experimentation is central to development.

  • Design, operate, and maintain equipment; select measurement techniques and evaluate results.

  • Support internal training, publications, and cooperation with external partners.
  • Ensure compliance with safety and quality standards.

To succeed in this role, you will need:

  • We seek graduates with a master's degree in chemical, Process, or Mechanical Engineering.
  • Strong knowledge of mass transfer and separation technology is essential, along with experience and interest in applying data-driven approaches to research projects.
  • Prior experience in the visualization and evaluation of experimental data is required for this role.
  • Basic mechanical skills and hands-on experience with pilot plants are advantageous.
  • The ability to coordinate and prioritize various tasks and the motivation to bring in own ideas or to challenge our current procedures will be very valuable for this role.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office is required; experience with process simulation tools, CAD software, LabView, and Python is a plus.

What we offer you:

  • 1-year fixed-term contract offering a unique opportunity to gain industrial R&D experience
  • An innovative and agile environment where your work contributes to improving mass transfer efficiency and advancing sustainable technologies.
  • Excellent social benefits (holidays, pension fund etc.)
  • Attractive employment conditions
  • Access to a wide range of discounts on Everyday Shopping, Entertainment and Lifestyle
