THE WHAT
To end COPV failure in spaceflight.
Performance is built in the process, not just in the design. A stable winding process is essential for producing high-quality components.
You operate filament winding machines to manufacture high-pressure composite tanks, ensuring components are produced to specification, processes remain stable, and quality stays consistently high.
Winding & Machine Operation
-
Operate filament winding machines, including process parameter monitoring
-
Perform pre- and post-processing tasks (e.g. vacuum bagging, curing preparation, unpacking)
-
Ensure stable machine operation and prevent production downtime
Quality & Process Discipline
-
Inspect components during and after production
-
Never pass on defective or uninspected parts
-
Report process deviations immediately
-
Follow defined work instructions, maintain accurate documentation, and keep the workplace organized
Collaboration & Continuous Improvement
-
Work closely with QA and cross-functional teams
-
Communicate issues and deviations openly and early
Identify process deviations and contribute improvement ideas-
Experience in manufacturing, CNC/machine operation, metalworking, plastics, automotive, or a comparable production environment
-
Technical training is an advantage but not required
-
Hands-on mindset with a precise and structured way of working
-
Strong understanding of quality standards and manufacturing tolerances
-
Willingness to work shifts
-
Basic technical understanding
