I would assume so, but just check with the company first, but you cannot become a citizen of Switzerland unless you have a visa.

Switzerland has a bilateral agreement with the EU which gives permission to those citizens to work there. "EU / EFTA nationals still require a residence permit and a work permit but have equal opportunities alongside Swiss jobseekers on the job market. Nationals of EU enlargement countries are subject to temporary provisions. Restrictive job market provisions and provisions concerning foreign nationals apply to third country nationals if they want to work in Switzerland. All foreign nationals already in gainful employment in Switzerland are subject to the same employment law provisions (work contracts, employee protection, etc.) as Swiss employees.

Can, am and do! I was here already though (my husband is Swiss), it's less easy to find work if you aren't already resident in Switzerland. But as explained above, easier than if you're not EU.
