About the Role

Join our engineering team at Thermo Fisher Scientific and help shape the future of how we design and develop cutting-edge scientific instruments.

As an Engineering Tools & Automation Specialist, you'll drive the digitalization and automation of our engineering processes, helping teams work smarter, reduce repetitive tasks, and focus more on innovation.

You'll collaborate closely with Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Global IT, and other teams to identify opportunities for improvement and develop practical, scalable solutions.

This role offers a unique combination of engineering, programming, automation, and emerging AI technologies. You'll have the opportunity to introduce new digital tools, improve existing workflows, and make a tangible impact on how our engineering teams work.

What You'll Do

• Manage, maintain, and continuously improve our engineering software tools, including SolidWorks, DBWorks, PDM Professional, Mentor PADS, Altium, and related applications.
• Identify opportunities to automate engineering workflows, eliminate repetitive tasks, and improve data quality and process reliability.
• Develop scripts, macros, integrations, and automated workflows using Python, APIs, Power Automate, Power Apps, SharePoint, and other relevant technologies.
• Support the implementation and integration of new engineering software, databases, and PDM/PLM solutions.
• Coordinate the deployment of automation solutions in collaboration with Global IT and engineering teams.
• Customize and continuously improve automation solutions based on engineering requirements and user feedback.
• Create documentation, provide training, and support colleagues in adopting new tools and workflows.
• Explore and implement AI-powered engineering solutions, including engineering copilots, AI agents, automated design reviews, document generation, intelligent data processing, and engineering checks.
• Drive standardization and continuous improvement of engineering processes, tools, and data structures across teams and locations.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Automation Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Experience working in an engineering, product development, or R&D environment.
• Programming or scripting experience, ideally with Python.
• Good understanding of mechanical and/or electrical engineering processes, including engineering drawings, bills of materials (BOMs), technical documentation, and engineering data.
• Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving skills, with the ability to translate engineering challenges into practical solutions.
• Genuine interest in automation, artificial intelligence, digitalization, and emerging technologies.
• Proactive, improvement-oriented mindset with a passion for simplifying processes and eliminating repetitive work.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively across engineering disciplines, IT, and international teams.
• Curiosity, willingness to learn, and the ability to explore new technologies and turn ideas into valuable solutions.

Nice to Have

• Experience with engineering software and data management systems such as SolidWorks, DBWorks, PDM Professional, Mentor PADS, Altium, or other PDM/PLM platforms.
• Hands-on experience with workflow automation, APIs, Microsoft Power Automate, Power Apps, SharePoint, or similar technologies.
• Experience developing scripts, macros, or integrations to automate engineering processes.
• Familiarity with AI-powered tools, intelligent automation, or AI agents in engineering environments.

What We Offer

• Flexible working hours to help you balance work and personal life.
• 25 days of vacation plus 5 sick days per year.
• Financial benefits, including an annual bonus, pension contribution, and access to life and health insurance at preferential rates.
