Assembly Technician (m/w/d) - #34052

What You Can Expect

As an Assembly Technician, it’s your hands that actually build our flight systems—mechanical assembly, electronic integration, and functional preparation - all in full compliance with future EASA POA requirements.

• You assemble our UxV systems according to documented work instructions—structural assembly, propulsion integration, wiring harness installation, electronics integration, and payload assembly.
• You build strictly according to the approved configuration—no improvisation, no undocumented replacement parts, no “we’ll fix it later.”
• You maintain a complete build record for each unit—serial numbers, component traceability, work step approvals. The build record is a certification document.
• You perform functional and acceptance tests (FAT) according to defined test procedures before the unit is sent to Quality Assurance for approval.
• You report any deviation immediately through our formal channel, which is protected by Just Culture.
• You consistently adhere to tool calibration, ESD protection, and FOD (foreign object debris) discipline.
  
  

Your profile

• Education: Completed apprenticeship as a mechatronics technician, electrical technician, mechanic, or comparable technical training. Additional qualifications in aerospace assembly or EASA Part 21G awareness are a strong plus.
• Experience: 2+ years of hands-on assembly experience in a regulated manufacturing environment (aerospace, automotive, electronics, medical technology). Experience with documented work instructions and build records is required.
• Technical Skills: Strong hands-on assembly skills (mechanical and electronic). Soldering according to IPC standards (knowledge of IPC-A-610 is a plus). Ability to read technical drawings, schematics, and work instructions. Proficiency with ERP/MES terminals on the production floor.
• Regulatory Understanding: Understanding of why build compliance and traceability are critical in a certified environment. ESD and FOD discipline. Familiarity with just-culture reporting systems.
• Languages: Working-level German required; basic English skills helpful for technical documentation.
• Attitude: Conscientious and honest—reports a dropped screw instead of hiding it. Meticulous, takes pride in build quality. Prefers to ask for clarification rather than improvise when an instruction doesn’t match reality.
