• Selection and application of suitable manufacturing processes (e.g. turning, milling, welding, assembly)
• Identification and resolution of technical problems during assembly and operation
• Close collaboration with engineers and the development team
• Continuous improvement of system structure, stability, and functionality

Your Profile

• Completed vocational training, for example as:
• Agricultural Machinery Mechanic (master craftsman also welcome)
• Construction Equipment Mechanic (master craftsman also welcome)
• Industrial Mechanic
• Mechatronics Technician
• or a comparable qualification
• Outstanding hands-on skills and practical execution competence
• Experience with metalworking and welding processes
• Confident handling of conventional manufacturing techniques
• Ability to understand and practically implement technical drawings
• Strong problem-solving skills and a pragmatic approach
• Independent working style combined with team capability
• Motivation to take responsibility in a dynamic startup environment

Why Hades?

We offer

• An opportunity to make a huge impact on the future of Europe by increasing resilience and providing a path to resource and energy sovereignty
