About us
At Thermo Fisher Scientific, our mission is to enable our customers to make the world healthier, cleaner and safer.
Every day, our colleagues support scientific discoveries, healthcare innovations, and life-changing therapies that positively impact millions of people worldwide. With more than 125,000 employees globally, we combine innovation, collaboration, and expertise to help our customers solve some of the world's most important challenges.
Our Brno site is home to a diverse international engineering community working on sophisticated technologies and products used by customers around the world.
About the Role
As a Senior Electrical Engineer , you'll join our growing Technical Sourcing Engineering (TSE) organization in Brno as part of an international team focused on improving the value and competitiveness of our existing products.
You'll apply your electrical/electromechanical engineering expertise and Cost & Value Engineering principles across electrical components, electromechanical systems and PCBA/electronics technologies . Working closely with engineering, sourcing and suppliers, you'll evaluate technical solutions, develop should-cost insights and identify opportunities to improve product cost, manufacturability and overall value.
We're looking for an experienced Electrical Engineer with a strong technical foundation and the versatility to work across different technologies and component families . You may bring deeper expertise in a particular area, but you'll be comfortable investigating unfamiliar technologies, challenging existing solutions and turning technical analysis into practical recommendations.
Why Join Our Brno Team?
You'll be joining a growing Cost & Value Engineering capability where your technical expertise can directly influence product and business decisions.
The role offers significant exposure to global engineering teams, sourcing stakeholders and suppliers , with the opportunity to work on projects where your recommendations can deliver measurable results.
It's also an opportunity to expand your engineering career beyond traditional design: developing deeper expertise in should-cost analysis, manufacturing economics, value engineering and technical supplier collaboration , while remaining firmly connected to engineering and technology.
What You'll Do & How You'll Make an Impact
Identify and develop cost-reduction and Value Engineering opportunities across existing electrical and electromechanical products
Analyse designs, components, manufacturing processes and cost drivers to understand what products and components should cost and where engineering can create additional value
Work across a broad technology landscape including electrical and electromechanical assemblies, PCBA/electronics and related components
Redesign or optimise components and assemblies, applying DFM/DFA/DFx principles to improve manufacturability, cost and product value
Apply a should-cost mindset , considering component selection, materials, manufacturing processes, labour, tooling and other cost drivers when evaluating technical and supplier solutions
Build and maintain strong technical relationships with suppliers , collaborating with their engineering and manufacturing teams to identify and implement improvements
Visit suppliers and lead or participate in technical and Value Engineering workshops to explore alternative components, technologies and manufacturing approaches
Evaluate alternative components, technologies, manufacturing processes and supplier solutions
Lead opportunities through discovery and feasibility and support projects through implementation
Partner closely with R&D and Category Management , presenting technical recommendations and influencing stakeholders without direct authority
