Job Summary

Lead the Berlin production technician team and grow it as the site scales. Own the daily production rhythm: shift planning, kit handover, build sequencing, status reviews. Drive production execution metrics: throughput, on-time completion, first-pass yield. Partner with the Berlin Engineering Manager on non-conformances, technical issues, and continuous improvement. Coordinate with the Berlin Materials Manager on kit availability, inventory accuracy, and shortage response. Coordinate cross-site with the US Manufacturing team on bus-panel handoff and tech transfer. Train and develop production technicians as the team scales. Establish daily and weekly production cadences (standups, build reviews, exec readouts). Own production response to escalations: stuck builds, rework, customer or program-level urgency. Live the safety, quality, and ITAR/EAR compliance culture on the manufacturing floor.
