Senior Industrialization & Supply Chain Manager (f/m/d).

<p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>About TACTILIA</strong></p><p style="min-height:1.5em">At TACTILIA, we are building the industry-ready robotic hand that closes one of the biggest gaps in Physical AI. Spun out of SCHUNK, the global market leader in gripping technology, we combine a decade of robotic-hand expertise and real industrial access with the speed and ambition of a deep-tech startup.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">This isn't a research project waiting for its first customer. We already have a product, customers are ready to use it, and we are launching now. Your work will directly shape the electronics, actuators, and embedded systems that make that possible.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">You will join at the moment when the hard engineering questions become real product decisions: how do we make a highly capable robotic hand reliable, manufacturable, serviceable, and simple enough to deploy on a real shop floor?</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>The Role</strong></p><p style="min-height:1.5em">As Senior Industrialization &amp; Supply Chain Manager you will take ownership of the industrialization perspective throughout the product development process. Working closely with R&amp;D, engineering and external manufacturing partners, you will ensure that manufacturing considerations are integrated into product design from the earliest development stages.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">You will challenge existing design decisions where necessary, identify more suitable manufacturing technologies and processes, and drive the transition from engineering concepts and prototypes to manufacturable, scalable products.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">This is a key role for someone who enjoys operating at the intersection of engineering, product development and manufacturing – and who is equally comfortable discussing technical trade-offs with R&amp;D engineers, negotiating with suppliers and engaging directly with people on the production floor.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>What you will do:</strong></p><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Drive industrialization from early product development:</strong> Work closely with R&amp;D engineers from the beginning of the development process, integrating manufacturing expertise into design decisions and challenging concepts where necessary to improve manufacturability, cost and scalability.</p></li></ul><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Define manufacturing strategies and technologies:</strong> Evaluate, select and implement appropriate manufacturing technologies, processes and production methods for complex mechanical and electromechanical components.</p></li></ul><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Optimize product design for manufacturing:</strong> Identify opportunities to simplify designs, reduce component complexity, improve production feasibility and find more cost-effective manufacturing solutions without compromising product performance.</p></li></ul><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Drive design for manufacturing of electronics and sensorics hardware:</strong> Work with R&amp;D on the hardware design of electronics and sensor systems (PCBs, sensor modules, cabling and assembly) with manufacturing and supply chain requirements in mind. Ensure designs are producible, testable, cost-efficient and robust in series production.</p>
