The Role
Industrialize and stabilize a semi-automated LiDAR sensor production line in Munich. Responsibilities include automation development with Python, quality and yield monitoring, guiding production operators, material planning, cleanroom assembly of precision optical/mechanical components, process documentation, and cross-functional collaboration with R&D, Quality, and Supply Chain.
Summary Generated by Built In
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 production processes
Mechanical Understanding: You have a good feel for fine mechanics and are experienced in handling sensitive, high-precision components and assemblies
Automation Know-how: You have a basic understanding of automation technology and how production setups can be systematically automated
Optics Knowledge: Basic knowledge of optical systems or components is a plus — but not a strict requirement
Image Processing: Experience with image processing (e.g. OpenCV) is an advantage
Work Style: You work in a structured, independent manner and take ownership of your area — while staying closely connected to the team around you
Language Skills: You are business fluent in German and have a good working level of English
Benefits
Purpose & Technology: You work on cutting-edge LiDAR technology that enables safer, smarter, and more efficient environments—from critical infrastructure to smart cities—while contributing directly to real-world impact.
Ownership & Growth: You operate in a dynamic high-tech environment with flat hierarchies, where individual initiative is valued, responsibilities are clear, and your ideas can quickly make a difference.
Agile Ways of Working: You operate in an agile setup with monthly sprints and releases, allowing you to regularly implement new ideas and see tangible results.
Hybrid Work Model: You have the option of working flexibly from home or in the office based on individual agreement.
Team & Culture: You become part of a passionate, technology-driven team where like-minded people inspire each other and share a strong enthusiasm for innovation.
Team Spirit: We value a positive working environment and promote team spirit through regular team events and joint activities.
Health & Fitness: You receive a subsidized Urban Sports Club membership, giving you access to a wide range of sports and fitness activities such as yoga, swimming, climbing, and team sports across Munich.
Excellent coffee: For the perfect start to the day and in between, we have extremely good coffee to support and invigorate you.
We, Markus Rauscher (Hiring Manager) und Yves Gendronneau (HR) are looking forward to your application, including your CV, certificates and a motivation letter.
