Printing machine

WHAT DO WE OFFER?

As part of the team, you will help design the high-tech printing machines.

We design modular and unit-wise, usually starting from previous designs, either as an idea or as a ready-to-use unit.

The design takes into account customer requirements, which can be very specific.

Use of standard available components and manufacturability of parts are also important design parameters.

As a design engineer, you will also draw up an assembly plan including the necessary calibration steps.

Knowledge of electrical wiring is a must. Knowledge of machine controls is a plus, not a must.

Our quality requirements are high. After all, the machines we make print with accuracies better than 0.1 mm.

Today it concerns a machine for an Indian customer active in pharma, tomorrow a machine for a Finnish customer active in Medical Devices. This is a very varied job in a high-tech environment for customers who are often world leaders in their field!

You are in direct contact with internal production, assembly and project management.

Naturally, we offer a competitive salary.
