About the role
Full text from the employer, as published on Arbeitnow, arranged into sections. Nothing added or removed.
Take a new aircraft from concept to series production. You work in a small team with electronics designers and test engineers. You get direct feedback from prototypes, flight tests and production builds.
Design and iterate lightweight parts. You design, build and test parts and assemblies, then improve them until they are ready for production.
Choose materials and processes with care. You balance performance, volumes, unit cost, tooling investment and lead times.
Own DFX. You design for manufacturing, assembly, quality, cost and serviceability, and you settle tolerances, interfaces and process constraints early.
Work hand in hand with suppliers. You partner with sourcing on technical feasibility, tooling and part iterations.
Own qualification. You qualify parts with the intended production materials and processes, and you agree product-specific acceptance criteria with the test engineers.
Deliver the production-ready product file. CAD, 2D drawings, tolerances, BOMs, material and process specifications and acceptance criteria.
Hand over a running line. Once the qualification gates have passed and ramp-up is complete, you hand the line and the product file to Production and Production Engineering.
You have several years of experience taking mechanical products through the full lifecycle: prototype, series production and quality monitoring at the customer. Ideally on structurally critical products at volumes of hundreds to a few thousand units.
You are strong in CAD (Solidworks/PDM preferred), tolerance analysis and material selection.
You have practical experience with injection molding as well as additive manufacturing for functional plastic parts.
You prototype fast and pragmatically, then qualify and document with discipline.
You like hands-on work: builds, testing and working with suppliers.
You use AI for design exploration, qualification planning and data analysis. You check its output, share new workflows and keep raising the team’s bar.
You are curious, flexible and collaborative, with a real drive to build the next great thing.
