• Experience in tube extrusion or a related polymer processing role.
• Medical device experience is an advantage.
• Hands-on approach to extrusion equipment setup, operation, and basic maintenance — or the aptitude and motivation to get there quickly.
• Precise, detail-oriented working style and a genuine willingness to keep learning and grow.
• Good command of either German or English is required; both is an advantage.
• Swiss work permit / European citizenship is a must.

What we are looking for in a candidate
