The Job
FOSS develops and produces state of the art analytical instruments for analysis of milk, meat, grain, wine, and more.

As a System Engineer, your primary responsibilities will be to understand and focus on the measuring performance of the analytical instruments in our product portfolio.

We work with a wide range of technologies such as NIR spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray imaging, flow cytometry, and automated chemical analysis. You must become the expert in supporting our instruments based on the before mentioned technologies. In this position, we expect you to solve quality and performance issues. Your daily tasks will be diverse and will typically span from root cause analysis of deviations in the measuring performance in our production, updating and improving the measuring chain, and validating the implemented changes.

Tasks are typically driven as smaller projects together with your colleagues in the Product Engineering team or with in-house specialists if needed. You will be expected to coordinate with external suppliers, Service engineers,  our Production, Sourcing, and your colleagues in the R&D department. Some long-distance travel may be required.
