About the job
For our client, an established Swiss industrial company with modern series production, we are looking for an experienced and technically strong personality as a Senior Tool Design Engineer in the Bern BE area.
In this role, you will take on a central position in the development, design, and optimisation of sophisticated tools, fixtures, and technical solutions for industrial manufacturing processes. You will work closely with production, toolmaking, quality assurance, and engineering to ensure that new and existing solutions are implemented precisely, economically, and reliably.
- Develop tool concepts for new products, process adjustments, and optimisations
- Design components considering material behaviour, tolerances, wear, and production reliability
- Create 3D models, part drawings, assemblies, bills of materials, and technical documentation
- Support trials, sampling, tool adjustments, and optimisations until stable series application
- Analyse manufacturing problems, dimensional deviations, tool wear, and process fluctuations
- Develop constructive improvements to increase service life, quality, and process stability
- Technical coordination with internal specialists as well as external suppliers and manufacturing partners
- Support standardisation, design guidelines, and continuous improvement projects
- Provide technical support within the team for complex design issues
- Further education as a technician HF in mechanical engineering, design technology, production technology, or comparable qualification is an advantage

- Precise, structured, and quality-conscious working style
- Good German language skills in spoken and written form, English skills are an advantage
Technical Focus Areas
- Tool design for industrial series processes
- Stamping, forming, and precision tools
- Manufacturing-compliant design of parts and assemblies
- Tolerance management and technical feasibility
- Analysis of wear, dimensional deviations, and process instabilities
- CAD design, drawing creation, and technical documentation
- Interface between development, toolmaking, production, and quality assurance
You take responsibility for technical details, actively contribute your expertise, and work on tools where precision, material understanding, and process reliability are crucial.
What our client offers you
- Challenging role in tool technology, design, and series production
- Modern technical infrastructure and professional CAD environment
