Laser Welding Specialist (m/f/x)

Garching bei München, Germany
Full-time
Permanent employee
55,000 - 65,000 € per year

About the Job

In this role, you strengthen one of the most critical steps in our stator production: the laser welding of the stator winding.

You run our welding processes reliably, develop them further and support them from the first trials through B-samples for customer projects all the way to series application.

The role combines hands-on welding operations with process development work, with the balance depending on your experience.

You’ll join our Process Development team in Garching, where we build samples up to B-phase in-house and develop the manufacturing processes for later series production. Working hand in hand with the team, you make sure our welding process is applied, optimized and continuously improved, from in-house sample builds to series readiness.

Your Tasks

  • Operate, set up and maintain our laser welding equipment
  • Apply, optimize and further develop welding processes for copper connections, including parameter studies
  • Plan and run welding trials and evaluate the results using appropriate analytical and testing methods
  • Analyze process deviations, identify root causes and implement corrective actions
  • Build samples for customer projects with consistent, documented quality
  • Create and maintain process documentation such as parameter sets, work instructions and test results
  • Contribute to PFMEA and test plans
  • Work closely with design, quality and industrialization to make new stator designs weldable from the start

Your Profile

  • Completed technical training (e.g. laser technician, mechatronics technician, precision mechanic) or a degree in engineering or a related field
  • 3+ years of hands-on experience in industrial laser welding
  • Experience in optimizing welding parameters and solving process issues independently
  • Ideally, experience in scanner-based remote welding
  • Experience with TRUMPF laser systems, including programming TruControl, VisionLine, OCT and NC programming, is a strong plus
  • Experience in welding copper, ideally from hairpin stator, battery, busbar or comparable applications, is a plus
  • Familiarity with automotive quality methods (PFMEA, MSA, control plans) is a plus
  • Experience with camera-based quality inspection and inline process monitoring is a plus
  • Structured, hands-on way of working and a strong quality mindset, whether from industrial production, prototyping, or hands-on projects like Formula Student or motorsport
  • Good German and English skills

Your Benefits

  • 100 EUR flexible benefits budget per month (internet, mobility, vouchers or sports)
  • Lunch subsidy for meals on site
  • Participation in our virtual stock option program
  • Company pension scheme
  • FINN car subscription
  • JobRad bike leasing
  • Regular team events and a great team atmosphere
  • A high level of responsibility and room to make an impact
  • Working in a startup with a strong team and flat hierarchies
  • Diverse learning and development opportunities across a broad range of topics
