Production Engineer

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

At Blackwave GmbH, we develop and scale next-generation composite technologies. As a Production Engineer, you operate at the intersection of engineering, manufacturing, and scaling — turning innovation into reliable, repeatable production processes.

Develop, optimize, and industrialize manufacturing processes for high-performance composite components

Transfer prototypes into stable pre-series and series production

Define, analyze, and document process parameters

Collaborate closely with R&D, quality, and production teams

Identify bottlenecks, risks, and opportunities for improvement

Support the build-up of scalable production structures

Create work instructions, standards, and best practices

YOUR PROFILE

A completed Bachelor’s degree or higher in Production Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field

At least 2 years of hands-on experience with composite materials or advanced manufacturing processes

(this may include substantial practical experience through Formula Student, rocketry teams, or comparable technical projects)

Experience in manufacturing, process development, or industrialization

An analytical, structured, and solution-oriented working style

A strong hands-on mindset : you don’t just design processes — you actively implement and improve them

A high level of quality awareness and sense of responsibility

Motivation to build and shape things on site in a dynamic environment, rather than simply managing from a distance

English proficiency at B2 level or higher; German skills are a plus — if little or no German is available, English proficiency at C level is required
