Job Description
Role Overview
This role is about making sure a technical laboratory can operate safely, reliably, and efficiently. You will take ownership of the systems and processes around the laboratory, working at the intersection of engineering, facilities, HSE, quality, IT, and external suppliers.
During the initial phase, you will play a key role in bringing new laboratory infrastructure and equipment into operation. You will coordinate open topics across multiple stakeholders, establish the required processes, and drive the lab toward operational readiness.
Once the laboratory is established, you will ensure that it remains controlled, compliant, documented, and continuously improved.
This role is for you if you are comfortable coordinating complex technical topics, driving open actions to closure, and creating structure where processes are still being built.
Key Responsibilities
Lab Build-Up & Equipment Readiness
Coordinate laboratory infrastructure readiness including utilities, ESD, IT/networking, access, safety, and equipment installation requirements
Coordinate delivery, installation, commissioning, and acceptance of new laboratory equipment
Work with engineering teams, facilities, suppliers, logistics, and other support functions to resolve open topics
Track dependencies, risks, responsibilities, and deadlines and actively drive actions to closure
Coordinate equipment documentation, calibration, qualification, and handover into regular operation
Lab Operations & Processes
Define, implement, and maintain laboratory processes, SOPs, and work instructions
Coordinate laboratory operations and ensure equipment and infrastructure remain ready for use
Establish clear responsibilities, workflows, and escalation paths
Maintain structured documentation and ensure process and equipment changes remain traceable
Identify operational gaps and continuously improve laboratory efficiency, robustness, and scalability
Equipment & Maintenance Coordination
Establish and coordinate preventive maintenance and calibration activities
Maintain an overview of equipment status, upcoming service activities, and open technical issues
Coordinate equipment repairs and technical support with internal experts and external suppliers
Support spare-part, service, and supplier management
Develop sufficient technical understanding of the equipment to recognize abnormal behavior and initiate the appropriate escalation
Quality, Safety & Compliance
Ensure laboratory activities comply with HSE, ESD, quality, and audit requirements
Coordinate risk assessments, safety documentation, and required approvals
Ensure equipment and laboratory processes meet applicable calibration, documentation, and traceability requirements
Prepare the laboratory for internal and external audits
Drive corrective actions resulting from audits, incidents, or identified process gaps
Coordination & Interfaces
Act as the central interface between the laboratory and engineering, facilities, HSE, quality, IT, logistics, purchasing, and suppliers
Coordinate activities across multiple stakeholders and ensure responsibilities are clear
Maintain transparency on laboratory readiness, risks, dependencies, and open actions
Support equipment procurement, transfers, logistics, and supplier activities
Ensure important issues are escalated early and followed through to resolution
Qualifications
Required Qualifications
BSc or MSc in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Measurement Engineering, Physics, or a similar technical field
Experience working in an engineering laboratory, test environment, production/fab environment, or similar technical organization
Good understanding of technical equipment and laboratory infrastructure
Strong organizational, coordination, and problem-solving skills
Fluent written and spoken English
What We Expect You to Be Comfortable With
Coordinating several technical topics and stakeholders in parallel
Following open actions until they are actually closed
Working with engineering equipment, suppliers, and technical service providers
Creating processes, documentation, and structure where these do not yet exist
Working across organizational boundaries and clarifying unclear responsibilities
Recognizing when a technical issue requires escalation to a specialist
Taking ownership of problems and actively driving them toward resolution
Nice to Have
Experience with measurement or automated test equipment
Experience with equipment installation, commissioning, or qualification
Knowledge of ESD, HSE, calibration, MSA, or quality systems
Experience with preventive maintenance and equipment management
Experience with technical purchasing, logistics, or supplier coordination
Basic understanding of electronics, measurement hardware, or software
Experience in semiconductor, electronics, or other high-tech manufacturing environments
What You Get
Real ownership of how a technical laboratory is built and operated
Opportunity to shape laboratory processes and standards from the beginning
Exposure to complex, multidisciplinary engineering equipment and technologies
Close collaboration with international engineering teams and suppliers
A role where your work has a direct impact on laboratory readiness and effectiveness
Success in This Role Looks Like
Equipment and infrastructure are ready when they are needed
Open topics have clear owners, deadlines, and follow-up
Laboratory processes are documented, repeatable, and auditable
Maintenance, calibration, safety, and compliance activities are under control
Engineers can focus on engineering because the laboratory around them works reliably
Problems are identified early and driven to resolution instead of becoming recurring issues
Additional Information
Benefits: Company Insurances, Leave Entitlement, Transport Allowance, Flexi Work hours, Meal Subsidy, competitive employer EPF contribution, Performance Bonus, Contractual Bonus etc.
Work in a fast-growing semiconductor environment.
Take ownership of impactful tasks and profit from Career development opportunities
Collaborate with cross-functional teams on a global scale.
Be part of a strong, intercultural team with high team spirit
What We Offer:
