Where physics meets aerospace innovation

Are you passionate about physics, materials science and thin-film technologies? Would you like to work with a unique, large-scale PVD coating system featuring a 6-axis robot , while combining applied research with real-world industrial production ?

At Plexiweiss , part of the international Glas Trösch Group , we develop and manufacture transparent plastic components for the aerospace industry.

We are looking for a PVD Process Engineer to join our specialised team in Uherské Hradiště, Czech Republic . You will develop advanced coating solutions, optimise vacuum coating processes and collaborate directly with our R&D colleagues in Switzerland .

Your responsibilities

• Operate and control PVD coating processes in a cleanroom environment.

• Monitor and optimise vacuum deposition parameters using dedicated control software.

• Develop and test new thin-film coatings , including calculations, measurements and evaluation of results.

• Perform material analysis, quality control and process reporting .

• Work with a large-scale coating system equipped with a 6-axis ABB robot .

• Collaborate with the Swiss R&D and project management teams .

• Occasionally travel to Switzerland, approximately 1–2 times per year .

The position combines production processes and R&D activities . Coating operations are not performed every day, so you will also have dedicated time for development, testing and process improvement.

• English communication skills for cooperation with international colleagues.

• An interest in research, innovation and practical problem-solving.

Experience with PVD processes, thin-film characterisation or industrial coating technologies is a strong advantage.

You do not need to know our specific equipment in advance. We will train you to operate our vacuum coating system , but we expect you to bring the relevant technical and scientific foundation.

What we offer

• Monday–Friday, day shifts only , with flexible starting times.

• A unique, large-scale PVD coating system with a 6-axis robot .

• The opportunity to combine applied research with industrial production .
