Manufacturing Engineer

At IKM WellDrone, we develop and build advanced, robotic downhole tools for the international well intervention market. We are looking for a Manufacturing Engineer who can help us streamline and optimize the journey from R&D to full serial production.

This isn't a role where you’ll be sitting miles away from what’s actually being built. Right from the start, you’ll spend plenty of time on the shop floor to get a hands-on understanding of how our high-tech tools are assembled from the ground up. Working closely with our Engineering and Operations teams, you will play a key role across the entire lifecycle. You will drive Design for Manufacture (DfM) reviews, implement lean principles, and establish efficient data workflows between our ERP and PDM systems.

Key responsibilities

• Review R&D designs for manufacturability, assembly, testability, quality, and cost.
• Develop assembly, manufacturing, inspection, and test procedures.
• Design tools, fixtures, and jigs, and coordinate work for assembly technicians.
• Manage day-to-day manufacturing quality, including non-conformances and root-cause investigations.
• Work with external suppliers on quotes, technical issues, and quality.
• Improve ERP/MRP and product-data-management workflows.

What we offer

• A key role in an agile tech environment with the financial stability of the IKM Group.
• Significant responsibility and the ability to shape manufacturing systems.
• Competitive salary, pension, insurance, and flexible working hours.
• Subsidized canteen, on-site parking, and fitness benefits.
