Engineering Expert – Shopfloor Technologies

Festanstellung, Vollzeit · Hamburg

Your mission
Own the design, development, and continuous improvement of all shopfloor-related technologies at Zellerfeld. From tooling and jigs to intralogistics and scanning stations, this role leads the technical execution that enables scalable, high-performance operations. It’s a hands-on, high-ownership position for a deep expert—not a people manager, but a mentor and innovator who ensures engineering quality and functional excellence on the ground.

The mission is to find and implement the right solutions—whether that means developing them in-house, sourcing them off the shelf, or partnering with external vendors to co-develop what’s missing. Pragmatism, speed, and fit-for-purpose execution are more important than reinventing the wheel.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: 
  • Develop and maintain jigs, fixtures, scanner setups, packing systems, and conveyor solutions for 3D printing operations
  • Identify, prototype, and implement tools and technologies to streamline workflows and improve throughput, ergonomics, and reliability
  • Act as the technical point of reference for all shopfloor solutions across Zellerfeld’s production environment
  • Drive standardization, modularity, and continuous improvement across tooling and operational interfaces
  • Coach younger engineers in shopfloor design and execution, ensuring hands-on excellence and build quality
  • Integrate mechanical, sensor, and control components in cooperation with software and automation teams
  • Collaborate with production and operations to understand real-world needs and prioritize impactful solutions
  • Document and iterate on technical concepts from first rig to production-ready deployment
Your profile
  • 10+ years of engineering experience in tooling, shopfloor systems, or intralogistics
  • Deep understanding of fixture design, operator interfaces, workstation ergonomics, and mechanical integration
  • Familiarity with intralogistics systems: conveyors, mobile transport, barcode/RFID scanners, packing solutions
  • Strong CAD and prototyping skills – able to bring mechanical ideas to life quickly and iteratively
  • Background in either manufacturing engineering, automation, or mechanical system integration
  • Experience in high-mix, low-volume production environments is a plus
  • Hands-on mentality with the ability to coach and elevate junior engineers without managing them directly
  • Fluent in English (German a plus)
