Production Engineer (f/m/d) - opto-electronic products

Do you want to not only develop high-tech solutions, but also reliably bring them into series production? Then join us in shaping robust processes for opto-electronic products - from prototype to full production readiness.

As a Production Engineer (f/m/d), you will make a key contribution to the successful industrialization and sustainable competitiveness of our products: You will be responsible for the industrialization and continuous optimization of highly complex opto-electronic products within a product family. Your goal is to ensure a stable, efficient and high-quality production process over the entire product life cycle.
In addition, you will make a significant contribution to the transfer of development projects to series production and the introduction of new technologies – in close cooperation with international development, production and partner teams.

What You'll do

• Industrialization of products and ensuring a smooth transition from development to serial production
• Participation in international development projects with a focus on Design for Manufacturing (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), and production readiness
• Introduction, validation, and implementation of new technologies and processes in production
• Analysis and resolution of production and integration issues in the areas of optics, electronics, and mechanics (moderate scope, medium complexity); escalation when necessary
• Continuous process improvement with regard to yield/output, quality, cost, and stability
• Taking over product responsibility (“Product Care”) for defined products throughout the entire product lifecycle
• Close collaboration with internal interfaces (R&D, Production, Quality), global engineering, as well as external partners and suppliers
• Support in failure analysis, root-cause identification, and sustainable problem resolution (troubleshooting)
• Planning and delivery of employee trainings

What You’ll Bring

• Degree in engineering (e.g. optics, mechatronics, electrical engineering, or physics) or a comparable qualification
• Several years of experience in production engineering, industrialization, or a comparable technical environment
• Experience in introducing new technologies and transferring development projects into serial production
• Knowledge of optoelectronic manufacturing or high-precision assembly processes is an advantage
• Familiarity with DFM/DFA and production readiness concepts
• Proficiency in common tools and systems (e.g. ERP systems, Jira, MS Office)
• Experience working in international and cross-functional teams
• Very good English skills, both written and spoken (at least B2), German at least good speaking skills (at least B1)
