Job Description
As Production Engineer, you will serve as the critical technical link between R&D and the production floor. Currently, technical product issues are escalated directly to R&D, limiting their ability to focus on innovation and leading to reactive rather than structural problem-solving in production. In this role, you will take ownership of identifying, analysing, and resolving technical issues at their source within the production environment.
You will drive continuous improvement by implementing sustainable solutions and ensuring that lessons learned are translated into clear technical documentation and standardised processes. By doing so, you will help prevent recurring issues, enhance production efficiency, and enable R&D to focus on future product development. Your work will be key in building a more proactive, robust, and scalable production organisation.
Your Responsibilities
• Acting as the technical bridge between R&D and production
• Analysing and resolving technical product issues directly on the production floor
• Identifying root causes of production problems and implementing sustainable solutions
• Driving continuous improvement initiatives to enhance efficiency, quality, and reliability
• Developing and maintaining clear technical documentation, work instructions, and standards
• Translating R&D designs into robust and manufacturable production processes
• Supporting production teams with technical expertise and training where needed
• Preventing recurring issues by standardising solutions and embedding learnings into processes
• Collaborating closely with R&D to optimise product design for manufacturability (DFM)
• Monitoring production performance and proactively identifying areas for optimisation
Our Ideal Candidate
• Technical background in electronics or mechatronics manufacturing
• Experience in production process optimization and troubleshooting
• Able to write and maintain technical production documentation
• Comfortable working at the intersection of engineering and production
What do we offer
• €4.000 - €5.500 per month, depending on skill level
• 27 vacation days based on a full-time working week (40 hours).
• Holiday allowance of 8%
• Modern pension.
• A warm, informal workspace within a growing organisation
• Working in a technical environment with great products and talented colleagues.
• You can join our cooking club every Thursday for lunch + playing card or board games.
Who are we?
At MANUS, we’re redefining what’s possible with human-machine interaction. Our next-gen data gloves deliver ultra-precise, drift-free, and occlusion-free hand and finger tracking — capturing even the most subtle movements in real time.
Powered by an advanced EMF tracking system, our technology eliminates common issues like sensor drift and positional offset. That means seamless control, accurate spatial alignment, and zero guesswork — whether you're piloting a robot or training AI.
Our tracking data sets the gold standard for embodied AI. By giving machines access to human-level dexterity, we're enabling them to move, grasp, and interact with the world as naturally as we do.
From robotics and AI to VR, entertainment, and advanced research — the world’s most innovative companies trust MANUS to help build the next generation of intelligent systems. Our technology is trusted by 2,000+ leading research institutions and technology companies worldwide. We are also officially integrated into NVIDIA Isaac Lab as a native teleoperation input for high-fidelity manipulation, placing MANUS at the foundation of the embodied AI development stack.
