Production Engineer Cell Assembly (m/f/x)

Responsibilities

• Our power systems protect GPU clusters from millisecond-level spikes, enable hyperscalers to run at higher rack densities without grid compromise, and make AI data centers up to more 40% energy efficient.
• When power fails, critical operations stop. We exist to prevent that in microseconds. Powering the infrastructure that powers everything else.
• Specify a new cell assembly line and accompany the project from equipment order through to ramp-up in Skeleton's factory.
• Act as the single point of contact for the equipment manufacturer during project execution, tracking the supplier's progress through regular timeline and task list reviews.
• Escalate delays and high risks to the Scale-up leadership team.
• Ensure that the agreed technical specifications are implemented in the equipment.
• Solve and close technical open points related to the equipment.
• Distribute and track the on-time closure of tasks owned by Skeleton internally.
• Maintain and structure equipment-related documentation for future scale-up phases.
• Own the equipment FAT at the manufacturer's site, including the FAT report, assignment of post-FAT improvement actions, and acting as contact person for the move-in to Skeleton's factory.
• Own equipment commissioning and SAT in Skeleton's factory.
• Document the SAT report and ensure post-SAT improvement actions are closed on time.
• Prepare materials for equipment-related decisions in the Steering Committee.
• Create the documents required for machine suppliers, equipment validation, and equipment commissioning.
• Calculate manufacturing output in line with the overall scale-up requirements.
• Travel for more than 50% of your working time to support equipment projects at supplier sites and Skeleton’s facility in Leipzig, Germany. Current destinations include San Jose, California; Dallas, Texas; Germany and China, with trips occurring monthly and lasting up to several weeks.

Requirements

• Solid experience with production equipment and automation, including PLC-controlled, interlinked production lines.
