At FOSS, we are driven by a strong sense of purpose, and we hope you are too. A fast growing world population means that the global food production will have to increase by 60% by 2050 to meet demand. We want to come up with smarter ways to make the best use of agricultural resources, and to help eliminate food waste. If that sounds like something you would like to get out of bed for every Monday morning, then read on.

The job
Reporting to the Director of Production Support, you will be part of a strong team of highly skilled and very engaged colleagues.

As our new Production Quality Engineer, you will play an essential role in ensuring a high product quality of our analytical solutions for the food industry. You will be the key to ensure swift handling of production challenges in many shapes and sizes, and in close corporation with production technicians, New Product Introduction (NPI), R&D product developers, QA and test developers amongst others.

Primary task
Problem solving and optimization is our primary focus. In production support we take full ownership of systematic technical problem solving, supporting our Danish production set-up to deliver high quality products.

No days will feel the same, and you will be working with a range of stakeholders, technical challenges and technologies, as well as supporting our production in optimizing product workflow and setting higher standards.

Qualifications
Overall, we are looking for someone with a can-do attitude that is committed to facilitate systematic problem solving using LEAN principles, as well as plan and facilitate structured trials as part of problem solving.

We see two different angles to this position. Either to have a strong technical background with a relevant engineering education (e.g. a bachelor's or master’s degree in mechanical or electrical engineering). Or education and practical experience as industrial technician within mechanical, traveling technician, marine engineer or similar. Having minimum 5 years’ experience from other similar position is considered an advantage.

Personal skills
We expect that you:

• Are structured, and get things done
• Have a high sense of urgency, with focus on right challenges at the right time
• Have excellent communication skills, both technical and non-technical
• Have the ability to solve complex technical and practical problems
• Have a wide practical knowledge within mechanical, pneumatics, flow, hydraulics etc.
• Have a good knowledge about LEAN tools/principles or ready to learn
• Are data driven, dynamic and address issues before they become problems
• Have a quality mindset with focus on securing optimal production quality of the product regarding performance and reliability

You speak fluent Danish and English, the latter being our corporate language. We are using SAP, Inventor/Solidworks and MS Office as main IT-tools, so it will be an advantage to be experienced with these.

Knowledge within high-tech instruments in a high mix/low volume production is an advantage. Driving license will be a advantage due to the fact that transport will be needed between Frederikssund and Hillerød from 2026.

We offer
We offer a demanding job in an international and innovative company that is a world expert in its field. You will get the opportunity to influence the position along the way, with great development opportunities, both personally and professionally.

Your learning curve will be steep, and you will have the opportunity to gain responsibility. Even though we are working out of Denmark, we have a global mindset and you will experience that FOSS is a highly international environment with +1500 colleagues around the world.

We will start by welcoming you to our office/plant in Hillerød, but you can also look forward to the move to Frederikssund early 2026, where we are building a new state-of-the-art and sustainable factory.
