What you'll do
- End-to-end domain ownership: drive all engineering, testing and qualification for your packages, from initial design to series production, and own continuous product iteration afterwards.
- Supplier and cost leadership: work with procurement from day one on early supplier involvement, design-to-cost and design-to-scale, and feed test results and feedback back into both suppliers and engineering.
- Industrialization: develop and implement solution concepts for engineering, production and industrialization, and set up our internal production lines (Blue Print Lines) up to defined maturity before handover.
- Budget, timeline and risk: own budgets, BOMs, critical paths and schedules, identify blockers early, define mitigation strategies and report status straight to management.
- Compliance and documentation: make sure every product meets functional but also non-functional quality, safety, qualification and legal requirements. Represents the company during all audits in your area and ensures that established processes are practical and adhered to, and that all supporting evidence is available and correctly filed.
- Technical Documentation: Own risk assessments, specifications and manuals. Create QMS related processes and bring it into the teams.
- Workspace: Be responsible to all HSE and ESD-topics related to your area.
- Cross-functional leadership: own all interfaces to other teams, represent Drive Train in steering committees and campaign reviews, and act as first escalation point for production, product and supplier quality.
What they're looking for
- Education: you have completed a degree or vocational training in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, mechatronics, aerospace engineering, power electronics, energy or drive technology, or a comparable technical field.
- Experience: you bring several years in drive train, propulsion, e-mobility, power electronics or battery systems, including at least one product you took from prototype to series production.
- Technical depth: you are at home across the full chain of motor, ESC, propeller and battery, and you can judge a design on performance, thermal behaviour, safety and cost in the same conversation.
- Industrialization mindset: you have built or scaled production and supplier processes yourself, and you know design-to-cost and make-or-buy decisions from practice, not from theory.
- Standards: you have worked with ISO 9001 or AS/EN 9100, traceability requirements and export control, and you see them as guardrails rather than paperwork.
- Leadership: you like building the system, not inheriting it. You are comfortable in a fast-moving start up where the process does not exist yet, and you communicate clearly in German and English, in the lab and in front of management.
Nice to have
- Defense or aerospace: experience with UAV, aviation or defense programs and their qualification logic.
- Battery expertise: hands-on background in battery pack design, BMS or cell qualification.
- BLDC-motor expertise: background in desgining BLDC-motors and bring them into production stage.
- Test infrastructure: experience setting up propulsion test benches and measurement campaigns from scratch.
