Production Engineer X-Sensors (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.

At X-Sensors in Diessenhofen, I am looking for a personality who likes to be close to the action: you analyse disruptions, find pragmatic solutions, and at the same time bring the calmness to sustainably optimise processes. You move confidently between the shopfloor, development, and external partners and understand how to bring different perspectives together. Particularly important to me is your eye for quality, efficiency, and production-oriented design. If you like to get stuck in, think structurally, and enjoy driving things forward, you fit perfectly into my team. I look forward to meeting you. Matthias Kascher, Head of Process Sensor Technology

What I drive

• You ensure stable production operations, analyse disruptions, and solve problems in day-to-day business quickly and sustainably – directly on the shopfloor.
• You plan, develop, and optimise manufacturing processes and aids and apply lean and improvement methods purposefully.
• You industrialise new products from development to series maturity and ensure production-oriented designs, clear documentation, and smooth processes.
• You drive quality, efficiency, and cost optimisations forward, work closely with internal interfaces and external partners, and further develop processes towards automation and digitalisation; optionally, there is the possibility to take on tasks in network management.

What it takes

• You have a solid technical foundation (e.g., mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or comparable) and understand production processes holistically.
• You think analytically, recognise optimisation potentials, and confidently apply methods such as lean or structured problem-solving.
• You bring experience in project management and take responsibility from analysis to implementation.
• You are a hands-on personality who likes to get stuck in, finds pragmatic solutions, and communicates confidently with various stakeholders.

With us, collaboration takes place where ideas are born: together on site. We are convinced that good leadership, team spirit, and quick decisions work best when people can exchange 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., a craftsman’s visit, doctor’s appointment, official business, etc.), it is of course possible to work from home occasionally.

Benefits

• Infrastructure & Equipment: Depending on the location, there are free parking spaces, changing rooms with shower facilities, discounted clothing, and other perks.
• Catering: We provide affordable, good catering, special offers during night shifts, and fruit and mineral water for in between.
• Work-Life Balance & Family: We support families and design working hours as flexibly as possible. And very importantly: unforeseen incidents and difficult times also have a place with us.
• Events: We also like to celebrate events. For example, at our legendary summer parties or joint Christmas celebrations. Or on our team outings. And we are quite competitive at sports events too.
• Care & Bonuses: We say thank you for long-standing company loyalty or special commitment in job referrals externally. We appreciate special effort and give something back.
• Health: We have high standards in occupational safety and support our employees with health offers to stay fit and healthy.
• Social Benefits: Depending on the location, we support our employees with attractive conditions for pension, accident, and special leave.
• Young Talent: We equip our professionals of tomorrow with top training. Besides that, there are other experiences best made when young. Joint camps with various sports and group activities, for example.
• Knowledge & Learning: In addition to language courses, we offer company-specific further training depending on the professional field. And so that one hand knows what the other is doing, we enable assignments in other work areas.
• Discounts & Reductions: Depending on the location, our employees benefit from special conditions and discounts in the areas of sport, leisure, and clothing.
