- Practical implementation of design plans into functional assemblies and systems
- Independent planning and execution of manufacturing and assembly processes
- Welding, machining, and adapting metal structures and components
- Selection and application of suitable manufacturing processes (e.g. turning, milling, welding, assembly)
- Identification and resolution of technical problems during assembly and operation
- Close collaboration with engineers and the development team
- Continuous improvement of system structure, stability, and functionality
Your Profile
- Completed vocational training, for example as:
- Agricultural Machinery Mechanic (master craftsman also welcome)
- Construction Equipment Mechanic (master craftsman also welcome)
- Industrial Mechanic
- Mechatronics Technician
- or a comparable qualification
- Outstanding hands-on skills and practical execution competence

- Confident handling of conventional manufacturing techniques
- Ability to understand and practically implement technical drawings
- Strong problem-solving skills and a pragmatic approach
- Independent working style combined with team capability

- An opportunity to make a huge impact on the future of Europe by increasing resilience and providing a path to resource and energy sovereignty
- A human-centered company culture with super nice and supportive colleagues
