Job Overview

The ACL Advanced Manufacturing (AME) team is seeking a hands-on, detail-oriented Manufacturing/ Process Technician (m/f/d) to support the development, launch, and operation of a new plating process at our Adelberg facility in Germany. You will play a critical role in running trials, collecting data, optimizing parameters, and supporting the central plating engineering team in transitioning the process into production. The role will also evolve to include support on other development and process improvement projects across our global operations in plating and potentially automation and other core processes like assembly.

• Ensure proper documentation, adherence to process standards, and compliance with safety and environmental regulations

• Several years of hands-on experience in a production-related environment (e.g., plating, metal/plastics processing, machine operation); plating experience is an advantage but not required
• Technical background (apprenticeship, technician certification, or degree) in manufacturing, mechanical engineering, chemistry, or a related field
• Experience working with production equipment and technical processes, ideally including chemical media, bath maintenance, and troubleshooting
• Practical experience in troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and process stabilization
