Garching
Full-time
Permanent employee

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

The What:
Keep our production running.
You make sure our machines don’t stop. In a fast-scaling production environment, you take ownership of maintenance, reliability, and quick problem solving — keeping our operations stable while we grow.
 
The Why:
To end COPV failure in spaceflight. The benchmark for performance, reliability, and cost efficiency. Our logistics determine whether materials are in the right place at the right time. Without flow, there is no production. Without precision, there is no reliability. Without structure, there is no scaling. Logistics is the pacemaker and heart of the mission.

Your tasks in detail and priorities:
  • Maintain critical systems: Perform regular maintenance on our machines and ensure operational readiness
  • Own machine reliability: Identify weak points early and prevent failures before they happen
  • Support new equipment: Assist in selecting, installing, and ramping up new machines
  • Document what matters: Keep maintenance, changes, and actions clearly and reliably documented
  • Fix issues hands-on: Analyze faults systematically and resolve them directly on the shopfloor
  • Work across boundaries: Collaborate closely with production, engineering, and external partners
  • Build structure in growth: Help bring order, standards, and reliability to a rapidly growing machine park
