Senior Production Development Engineer (AIT Industrialization) (all genders)

Reflex Aerospace

Reflex Aerospace

Munich, Germany
Posted on Feb 17, 2026
You will design and build the adaptive serial production system that enables reliable, repeatable satellite builds at an increasing rate. Your focus is on industrialization: developing the plan, facilities, tooling/test infrastructure, standardized processes, and readiness gates needed to transition from prototype builds to serial production.

Scope note: This role is focused on planning and developing the production system (facility, tooling, processes, readiness). It does not (yet) own day-to-day production execution, shift/output management, or line leadership. As the production system matures and output ramps up, this role can evolve into a Production Manager/Head of Production-type position, with day-to-day execution and leadership of the production organization, depending on company needs and your interest.
Your Mission:
  • Develop the AIT Industrialization Plan: target production rates, capability roadmap, milestones, risks, and dependencies (facility, tooling, people, suppliers).
  • Design the scalable, adaptive satellite production system: end-to-end build/integration/test concept from prototype builds to serial output (process + system design).
  • Plan and develop facilities and layout: workstations, ESD/cleanliness concept, material flow, kitting/storage, safety, and ergonomics.
  • Define and implement tooling and test infrastructure: MGSE/EGSE concept, benches, fixtures, measurement systems, calibration, and maintenance approach.
  • Industrialize AIT processes: standard work, acceptance criteria, process parameters, and cycle-time/capacity assumptions to enable repeatability at rate.
  • Establish production readiness and quality gates: process controls, NCR loop design, yield/FPY metrics, and continuous improvement system.
  • Create and maintain production documentation: work instructions, travelers, checklists, and traceability/configuration linkage.
  • Support validation of the production system during pilot builds: observe execution, collect data, identify bottlenecks, and implement process/tooling/facility improvements (execution remains owned by the AIT/production team).
Your Background:
  • 5+ years in industrialization / production engineering / manufacturing engineering / AIT/MAIT engineering (space/aerospace strongly preferred; complex hardware required).
  • Demonstrated ability to design and deploy production systems: process flows, station concepts, capacity/rate planning, readiness milestones.
  • Practical experience with facility and workstation planning (layout, ergonomics, ESD, cleanliness/contamination control, material flow, kitting/storage).
  • Strong experience defining tooling and test infrastructure (fixtures/jigs, benches, MGSE/EGSE concepts, measurement systems, calibration/maintenance planning).
  • Ability to create industrialized processes and documentation people actually use: standard work, work instructions, travelers, checklists, acceptance criteria.
  • Experience with traceability/configuration tooling (PLM/MES/ERP and doc control)
  • Familiarity with ECSS / Product Assurance concepts is a big plus
  • Strong communication and documentation skills in English (as German a plus)
What We Offer:
  • Collaborate with a diverse multinational team crafting the next wave of cutting-edge satellites. Embark on this exciting journey with us from the outset, leaving your indelible mark on a dynamic company and playing a direct role in shaping the future of the space industry.
  • Keep your energy levels high with company-sponsored memberships for Urban Sports Club as well a discount in the public transport.
  • Access to Corporate Benefits - A website with many discounts for various brands.
  • A 20% contribution to your private pension plan.
  • We provide a hybrid work model along with flexible working hours, empowering you as the owner of your time management.
  • Enjoy the flexibility of ample vacation time, including a special company holiday on April 12th dedicated to celebrating the International Day of Human Spaceflight.
Join Reflex Aerospace and be a driving force in shaping the next era of space exploration! We look forward to your application.
