• Select, specify, and commission production equipment and machines
• Define and optimize process qualification parameters to ensure stable and repeatable production
• Set up and validate machines, including tooling, fixtures, and control parameters
• Troubleshoot manufacturing issues, identify root causes, and implement corrective actions
• Analyze process performance data to improve yield, efficiency, and reliability
• Establish and maintain process documentation (work instructions, parameter sheets, process logs)
• Monitor process stability using data analysis, statistical methods, and process control tools
• Collaborate with design, quality, and production teams to support new product introduction and continuous improvement
• Ensure compliance with aerospace quality, safety, and traceability standards

Your Profile

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field
• Experience in manufacturing process development (typically 5+ years) in aerospace, automotive, or high-tech industries
• Comfortable working with industrial equipment, process parameters, and production environments
• Experience with troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement methods
• Ability to interpret and use production data to drive decisions
• Knowledge of aerospace quality standards and traceability requirements is a strong asset
• Experience working in cross-functional teams
• Strong problem-solving skills and a hands-on mindset
• Fluent in English (French is a plus)
• Interest in mentoring others or growing into a team lead role is a plus

What We Offer

• The opportunity to work on cutting-edge electric aviation technology with real-world impact
• A collaborative, international, and purpose-driven team
• Opportunities to grow into technical or leadership roles
• A flexible and supportive work environment
• An exceptional work location in Sion, Valais, in the heart of the Swiss Alps

You will have a direct impact on our products and on how we design and build them, working closely with cross-functional teams in a fast-evolving environment.
