Our Engineering Operations team is responsible for various pilot production tools and devices, often first versions, sometimes even prototypes. Our equipment and process engineers intensively collaborate with process engineers and equipment manufacturers to identify, execute and evaluate improvement opportunities on our unique pilot production tools.

Our process engineers maintain the processes and develop e.g. backup processes or perform process optimizations.
