About Us

We see the semiconductor industry as a realm of possibility. We see opportunity. We see the profound impact that our graphene solutions will have in transforming the industry. We invite you to join us in driving change with our fundamentally human-centered approach, uniting bright minds around a shared vision. The vision is: Prove to everybody that you can make a fundamental change. Prove with your knowledge and skills how things can be done differently. Together, we can change the paradigm of how the world connects.

About Our Technology

The semiconductor industry's growing demand for more powerful chips with higher bandwidth and lower power finds its solution in our technology. We connect chips to high-throughput, low-delay computing networks. The key lies in harnessing the physical properties of graphene to combine electronic computing with photonic communication, allowing countless chips to interact almost as if they were one. Our graphene photonic innovation increases computing power and efficiency to a new order of magnitude. In short, we connect chips to create powerful and energy-efficient networks, overcoming connectivity limitations in the semiconductor industry. We deliver the graphene solution.

The Role

• Develop and optimize processes across warehousing, receiving, inventory, transportation, shipping and production support.

• Drive initiatives to improve efficiency, quality, cost performance and delivery reliability, like our SAP S/4HANA rollout, establishing RASIC and best practices to building the team and capabilities needed for future growth.

• Work closely with internal stakeholders across production, engineering, procurement and other business functions to ensure a reliable flow of materials and information.

• Own dangerous goods handling and regulatory compliance, ensuring adherence to ADR, IATA, IMDG, and all relevant legal requirements

• Ensure that compliance is an integral part of our logistics processes right from the start.

Your Qualifications

• 6+ years of hands-on experience in logistics or warehouse management, import/export or manufacturing operations

• At least 4 years of disciplinary leadership and people management experience, ideally with responsibility for teams with 5+ employees

• Experience in a startup/scale-up environment or complex corporate organization, ideally in semiconductor, pharmaceutical or another highly regulated industry

• Strong hands-on experience with WMS and ERP systems (SAP/S/4HANA experience is a plus)

• Proven expertise in dangerous goods, German regulatory requirements and compliance, ideally combined with cleanroom logistics experience

• A pragmatic leadership mindset, strategic thinking, and strong problem-solving as well as stakeholder management skills.

• Fluent German language skills (minimum: C1) and good English (minimum: B2)
