Production Engineer Electronics (a)

The Baumer Group is an internationally leading manufacturer of sensors and measuring instruments for factory and process automation. We owe this success to our approximately 2,800 employees worldwide, who are always passionately, expertly, and committedly searching for the best solutions for our customers.

The headquarters in Frauenfeld (Thurgau) sets the pace for the globally sought-after Baumer sensor solutions. Around 700 employees from engineering, product management, manufacturing, logistics, sales, and services work closely together here: engineers continuously develop new solutions, while the production and logistics teams ensure that the sensors arrive at customers on time and in Baumer quality.

Quality is no accident but the result of intelligent testing processes and technical excellence. In this role, you ensure that the printed circuit boards of our sensor solutions meet the highest quality standards. With your expertise in electrical testing, measurement technology, and test automation, you make a direct contribution to innovative products used worldwide in modern automation applications. You develop and optimise test programmes, analyse fault patterns, and successfully introduce new testing methods into production. Together with development, quality, and manufacturing, you ensure that our products become measurably better and continue to represent the precision our customers rely on. You are not looking for a pure support function but want to actively improve processes, solve technical challenges, and sustainably advance quality. Look forward to state-of-the-art test technologies, short decision-making paths, and plenty of scope for creativity in an environment that lives innovation, precision, and collaborative partnership. If you want to take responsibility and actively shape the quality of tomorrow, we look forward to meeting you.

With us, collaboration happens where ideas arise: together on site. We are convinced that good leadership, team spirit, and quick decisions work best when people can exchange ideas personally. That is why we deliberately rely on 100% work on site – for close collaboration, short distances, and a lively corporate culture. In exceptional cases (e.g., visit from a craftsman, doctor’s appointment, official business, etc.), it is of course possible to work from home occasionally.
