Senior Industralization Engineer (all genders)

THE WHY

To end COPV failure in spaceflight.

Blackwavemanufactures carbon structural components for rockets and satellites with the ambition to make space access as reliable and scalable as automotive production. That demands a manufacturing operation that grows with us: process-stable reproducible and ramp-up-proof.Thatswhere you come in.

THE WHAT

Be the process mastermind of our manufacturing operation.

AtBlackwave you coordinate production engineering across all teams set priorities on open issues and drive our manufacturing processes toward serial production standards scalable resilient and ready for every ramp-up.

Drive & Improve Processes

Systematically analyze production processes for scalability and robustness then actively raise the bar.

Own andmaintaina structured always-current list of open points across all production steps.

Set the Standards

Implement 5S standards at workstations and in material handling consistently and sustainably.

Pushfixtureand tooling improvements from concept through manufacturing implementation and verification.
