## Job Description ##

Do you want to go beyond understanding thin-film processes and actively develop and improve them? As a **Process Development Engineer**, you design processes in the PVD and plasma environment from the ground up - from initial experiments to stable application. You work hands-on with advanced coating systems and bring new material systems into reality while shaping the next generation of coating technologies in a strong R&D environment.

## What you will be doing ##

* *check* Develop processes: you design and optimize thin-film processes (e.g. PVD, sputtering, plasma), including layer stacks, targets, and process parameters

* *check* Work hands-on: you operate coating equipment and pilot setups, performing experiments independently

* *check* Drive innovation: you lead development projects from feasibility studies through process validation

* *check* Ensure performance: you analyze process stability, uniformity, and material properties and translate them into robust, repeatable processes

* *check* Collaborate closely: you work with customers, partners, and internal hardware and engineering teams

## What you should bring ##

* *check* Educational background: you hold a Master's or PhD in materials science, physics, or a related field

* *check* Experience: you are experienced in thin-film or vacuum process development (3-5 years / e.g. semiconductor, optics, coating)

* *check* Methods expertise: you apply Design of Experiments (DoE) with confidence and work data-driven

* *check* Technical knowledge: you understand thin-film physics, plasma behavior, and material interactions

* *check* Work authorization: you already hold a valid Swiss work permit or have existing authorization to work in Switzerland
