About the role:
As our Manufacturing / AIT Technician (f/m/d), you will be at the forefront of manufacturing, integrating, and testing advanced space hardware. This role is very hands-on, as you will be building up our ground support equipment (GSE), supporting engineers and campaigns, and sharing good practices with assembly and integration. The role expects expertise in using precision tools and equipment, and involves the design, testing, and optimization of devices and processes used for production and validation of Dcubed’s innovative technologies.
We are looking for a person skilled in craftmanship, and comfortable with metal work and working on profiles. The technical challenges require strong problem-solving skills and the ability to take responsibility for workshop operations and implement effective solutions.
