Towpreg Production Engineer Composite Materials Aerospace

Production Engineer

At Blackwave GmbH, we develop and scale next-generation composite technologies. As a Production Engineer, you operate at the intersection of engineering, manufacturing, and scaling — turning innovation into reliable, repeatable production processes.

• Develop, optimize, and industrialize manufacturing processes for high-performance composite components

• Transfer prototypes into stable pre-series and series production

• Define, analyze, and document process parameters

• Collaborate closely with R&D, quality, and production teams

• Identify bottlenecks, risks, and opportunities for improvement

• Support the build-up of scalable production structures

• Create work instructions, standards, and best practices

• A completed Bachelor's degree or higher in Production Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field

• At least 2 years of hands-on experience with composite materials or advanced manufacturing processes (this may include substantial practical experience through Formula Student, rocketry teams, or comparable technical projects)

• Experience in manufacturing, process development, or industrialization

• An analytical, structured, and solution-oriented working style

• A strong hands-on mindset: you don't just design processes — you actively implement and improve them

• A high level of quality awareness and sense of responsibility

• Motivation to build and shape things on site in a dynamic environment, rather than simply managing from a distance

• English proficiency at B2 level or higher;
  German skills are a plus — if little or no German is available, English proficiency at C level is required

• Personal responsibility & creative freedom: You actively contribute to the further development of our production technologies.
• Flexible working hours: Work-life balance is not an empty promise with us.
• Start-up spirit meets aerospace: flat hierarchies, short decision-making processes and room for innovation.
• Individual benefits: Choose between the Deutschland Ticket, Egym-Wellpass or a tax-free benefit with the Give Card (50€ net each month).
• Fresh food every day: Shared lunch break with healthy, varied dishes.
• Alpine view included: Our roof terrace invites you to relax after work.
• Further development guaranteed: You will grow both professionally and personally through exciting projects and exchanges with experts.
• We live and breathe team culture: whether it's a tech talk, team event or after-work - we celebrate successes together.
