You can look forward to these exciting tasks: 

• Planning, procurement, and support of automated PVB and PDLC preparation processes for roof systems, ensuring cost, quality, and timing targets according to the Product Development Process (PEP)
• Identifying and implementing improvement opportunities in PVB and PDLC preparation, lamination steps, and material handling to increase efficiency, quality, and cost performance
• Developing, validating, and optimizing PVB and PDLC processing methods for various roof applications, including laminated glass, smart glass, and switchable sunroof systems
• Conducting material analyses and performance tests to evaluate PVB and PDLC quality and ensure compliance with optical, mechanical, thermal, and safety requirements
• Close interdisciplinary collaboration and shopfloor management with project management, engineering, quality, logistics, production, and controlling to ensure project milestones and production KPIs for new and series roof projects are met

This is what you bring to us:

• A completed engineering degree (e.g., materials science, polymer engineering, mechanical engineering, or similar)
• Alternatively, completed technical vocational training with further qualification as master/technician and several years of experience in PVB, PDLC, or laminated glass processing
• Training or willingness to obtain training related to polymer films, lamination technologies, or smart glass materials
• Several years of experience in production environments, ideally in automotive roof systems, laminated glass manufacturing, or smart glazing technologies, including implementation and optimization of PVB/PDLC processes
• Strong knowledge of polymer materials, laminate structures, and process technologies, ideally with experience in PVB drying, cutting, lay-up, and PDLC film integration
• Experience performing material and optical/mechanical tests, including knowledge of relevant standards (e.g., safety glazing, light transmission, haze, adhesion tests)
• Knowledge of quality management systems and experience in maintaining compliance with industry standards and automotive requirements
