## Description

Turning prototypes into production-ready systems requires more than lab innovation. It demands hands-on assembly, robust system integration, and rigorous testing to guarantee performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
As our Senior Production Engineer (m/f/d), your mission is to assemble, integrate, and validate complex electro-optical and electronic-mechanical systems. You will establish stable test and integration processes, optimize workflows, and ensure small-series production ramp-up runs smoothly, enabling Q.ANT's next-generation servers to be delivered on time and at scale.
Your responsibilities
Assemble, integrate, and test advanced photonic and electronic systems, ensuring repeatability, quality, and performance.
Develop and standardize assembly sequences, test protocols, and production documentation to enable scalable manufacturing.
Perform hands-on troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and system-level debugging to prevent rework, yield loss, and field failures.
Collaborate with R&D, quality, supply chain, and manufacturing to ensure smooth handover, test coverage, and integration readiness.
Optimize workstations, tooling, and end-to-end test sequences to support efficient ramp-up from prototypes to small-series production.
Drive continuous process improvement and quality assurance initiatives, including verification workflows, structured problem solving, and implementation of corrective actions.
