About the role
Shape the future of real-world LiDAR applications at a leading high-tech company in Munich. At Blickfeld, we develop our own innovative LiDAR technology based on a frictionless MEMS mirror. Our sensors create 3D data of the environment in high resolution. These 3D point clouds contain detailed information about the exact size, position and speed of objects — enabling us to analyze the shape and movement of people, vehicles and other objects across a wide variety of applications including security, volume measurement, traffic management, and smart cities. As Production Engineer (m/f/d), you will play a key role in industrializing and stabilizing our semi-automated LiDAR sensor production in Munich. You are the technical backbone of our production floor — you keep the line running, ensure quality and yield, drive automation improvements, and guide our production operator on a day-to-day basis. This is a hands-on role in a dynamic start-up environment where you will work closely with R&D, Quality, and Supply Chain to bring high-precision hardware to series production. Tasks Production Industrialization: You drive the industrialization and stabilization of our semi-automated production line, identifying and resolving technical bottlenecks to improve throughput and repeatability Automation Development: You develop and implement automation solutions for production setups — including scripting and tooling in Python to streamline manual steps and improve process reliability Quality & Yield Monitoring: You monitor production quality and yield on an ongoing basis, identify root causes of deviations, and report results to your supervisor with clear recommendations Operator Guidance: You guide and support our production operator in the day-to-day assembly of sensitive LiDAR components, ensuring adherence to assembly instructions and quality standards Material Planning: You keep an eye on material availability, initiate reorders in time, and coordinate with procurement to ensure production continuity Cleanroom & Lab Operations: You work in our cleanroom and lab environment, handling sensitive optical and mechanical assemblies with the required care and precision Process Documentation: You document production processes, work instructions, and improvement measures in a structured and traceable way Cross-functional Collaboration: You work closely with R&D, Industrialization, and Quality teams to implement design-for-manufacturing improvements and support new product introductions Requirements Academic Background: You hold a Bachelor's or FH degree in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, mechatronics, software engineering, or a comparable technical field Work Experience: You bring approximately 2 years of relevant professional experience in a production, manufacturing, or hardware engineering environment Programming Skills: You have solid Python skills and are comfortable using them to automate test routines, data analysis, or produ
