Production Engineer

Blackwave GmbH

Blackwave GmbH

Product
Garching, Germany
Posted on Dec 23, 2025
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

WHAT WE OFFER
  • Personal responsibility & creative freedom: You actively contribute to the further development of our production technologies.
  • Flexible working hours: Work-life balance is not an empty promise with us.
  • Start-up spirit meets aerospace: flat hierarchies, short decision-making processes and room for innovation.
  • Individual benefits: Choose between the Deutschland Ticket, Egym-Wellpass or a tax-free benefit with the Give Card (50€ net each month).
  • Fresh food every day: Shared lunch break with healthy, varied dishes.
  • Alpine view included: Our roof terrace invites you to relax after work.
  • Further development guaranteed: You will grow both professionally and personally through exciting projects and exchanges with experts.
  • We live and breathe team culture: whether it's a tech talk, team event or after-work - we celebrate successes together.
