Tasks & Responsibilities
- Conduct hands-on investigations across manufacturing lines to identify root causes of work-in-progress (WIP) yield losses, downtime, and dispensing-related deviations. Develop and implement effective corrective actions.
- Work directly on the production floor, observing manufacturing processes across multiple shifts and collaborating closely with operators and shift leads.
- Provide technical guidance and support to production personnel, helping to improve process understanding and operational performance.
- Fine-tune, characterize, and troubleshoot automated dispensing equipment across multiple platforms, with a particular focus on low-viscosity fluids, surface interactions, and precise dispensing tolerances.
- Plan, execute, and evaluate production trials using structured problem-solving methodologies, including Design of Experiments (DOE) and root-cause analysis.
- Analyze manufacturing and quality control data to identify process variations, detect parameter deviations, and assess the effectiveness of corrective actions.
- Collaborate with equipment vendors, production teams, process engineers, and quality specialists to implement sustainable process improvements and change controls.
Required Qualifications & Experience
- At least 5 years of hands-on experience in automated precision dispensing, fluid deposition, or a closely related engineering field.
- Proven expertise in setting up, fine-tuning, characterizing, and troubleshooting automated dispensing equipment, ideally involving low-viscosity fluids.
- Demonstrated experience translating technical troubleshooting into measurable manufacturing improvements, such as scrap reduction, yield improvement, and cycle-time stabilization.
- A strong practical and technical mindset, with a willingness to work directly on the production floor and collaborate with operators across different shifts.

The calculator on this site converts a gross salary into your actual net take-home once cross-border tax and social contributions are applied.
Is this a full-time role, and what type of contract does Coopers Group AG offer?
This listing is a full-time position. The contract type shown here comes directly from the employer's original posting; always confirm exact hours, notice period and probation length with Coopers Group AG during the application process, since these details can vary by role even within the same contract category.
Do I need a cross-border work permit for a role in Zug?
EU/EFTA citizens living in an EU/EFTA state can apply for a G permit and can work anywhere in Switzerland: border zones no longer apply to them, and they must return home at least once a week. The Swiss employer files the request with Canton Zug's migration office after the contract is signed. Processing times vary by canton, so confirm the specifics with Zug's cantonal migration office or with HR during the application.
