Garching

ManufacturingProduction / Produktion

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

THE WHAT
You develop, stabilize, and scale metal forming processes for high-performance components. You ensure repeatable processes, consistent quality, and early detection and elimination of deviations.

Current processes: Spinforming, Bending & Heat Treatment.

THE WHY
To end COPV failure in spaceflight. Forming precision defines the structural integrity of our components – and therefore the performance and reliability of our products.

YOUR IMPACT
You don't just support production. You define how it works.

You ensure:
  • Stable and repeatable forming processes
  • Consistent quality and reduced process variability
  • Early detection and sustainable elimination of defects
  • Efficient and industrializable processes
  • Clear and documented process standards
Your tasks in detail
Develop and optimize metal forming processes for spinforming, bending and heat treatment.

→ High Performance: Precision at speed. Outcome over activity.

Analyze process data, reduce variability, and ensure repeatable results.
→ Accountability: Own the process. Own the impact.

Perform root cause analysis and drive sustainable defect elimination.
→ Candor: Speak up early. Solve the real problem.

Collaborate closely with Design, Materials, and Production to drive improvements.
→ Togetherness: Align across functions. Deliver as one team.

Prepare processes for industrialization, improve efficiency, and define and document process standards.
→ Playfulness: Experiment. Learn. Improve.
