Zumbach Electronic AG is an internationally active, Swiss family‐owned company with its headquarters in Orpund/Biel and further offices globally. For more than 65 years, we are among the leading producers of high‐tech measurement and control systems for the cable, plastics and steel industries.
Front‐end / Full‐Stack HMI Engineer (Embedded & Industrial Systems)You will design and implement modern, web‐based HMIs for our industrial product family, spanning high‐speed embedded measurement devices and IPC‐class process systems. Beyond building dashboards, you will help shape a configurable and extensible HMI platform that allows users to create, adapt, and customize their own views and workflows. You will collaborate closely with C++ and systems engineers to deliver reliable, intuitive, and maintainable interfaces used in demanding industrial environments.
