Machine Operator

Work a 12‑hour rotating day shift (7:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.), helping to keep our production lines running reliably.

Operate different machines and automated work cells and, when needed, manage more than one work cell at a time.

Perform packing line changes and troubleshoot shrink wrap machines, label printers and basic machine/automation alarms using HMI controllers.

Apply established troubleshooting techniques to find and correct production or automation issues, ensuring stable and efficient operations.

Accurately document and enter production data into the production monitoring system (Hydra) and carry out routine quality inspections to identify defects or imperfections.

Handle materials – such as getting and loading supplies with a pallet jack or other power equipment – and support other production tasks within your skill set, including during staffing shortages.

Follow all policies and protocols (documentation, safety, cleaning and gowning) and clearly communicate production results or issues to Work Cell Technicians or your supervisor.

Bringing a high school diploma or trade school degree (GED) and around 3–4 years of related experience and/or training; a combination of education and experience is welcomed.

Experience working in a production or manufacturing environment, ideally with automated equipment or packaging lines.

Practical mechanical aptitude and troubleshooting skills that help you quickly identify and resolve basic equipment issues.

Comfortable using HMIs and basic production IT systems to enter data and monitor performance.

A focus on safety, quality and documentation – you follow procedures reliably and pay attention to detail.

A team-oriented mindset: you communicate clearly with colleagues, support others when needed and share information openly across shifts.

At Eppendorf, we believe that science thrives on curiosity – and on many different perspectives.

Our Eppendorf team is as diverse as the questions asked across the life sciences. Different backgrounds and ways of thinking help us develop better solutions for research.

Come as you are, bring what makes you unique – and help us shape what diversity can make possible in science.
