Hardware/Production Engineer (m/f/x)

At atmio, we build the hardware and software that make methane emissions visible, so operators in the energy sector can act before it's too late.

We're looking for a Hardware Engineer (m/f/x) with a production focus. You'll build, test, and calibrate our stationary and handheld methane detectors, get them ready for customer deployment, and repair the units that come back for service.

You'll report to our Head of Hardware Ivan and work directly with the production and development team.

Key Responsibilities

• Assemble, test, and calibrate our methane detection devices
• Run incoming inspection and quality checks; maintain test records and device history
• Maintain and improve test fixtures, calibration setups, and work instructions
• Repair returned units and systematically track the fault causes
• Support material availability, supplier questions, and production planning
• Support customer sites with installation, commissioning, and troubleshooting
• Be the production voice in design reviews: turn what you see on the line and in the field into design-for-manufacturability decisions for the next device generation

This role is a perfect fit if you...

• Are hands-on by nature: soldering iron, multimeter, and a screw driver are on your desk along the laptop
• Enjoy chasing a fault until you know exactly what caused it
• Care about getting things right, not just done
• Prefer a documented process over a hero fix
• Want to grow from hands-on production into broader production and hardware ownership

Requirements

Skills & experience you will need

• Apprenticeship or degree in electrical engineering, mechatronics, or similar
• Hands-on experience with electronics assembly, soldering, or hardware testing
• Comfortable with test equipment (multimeter, oscilloscope, power supply) and basic troubleshooting
• Structured and reliable with documentation - test protocols, serial numbers, revisions
• Willingness to travel occasionally for field deployments
• Fluent in German and English

Great to have

• Experience in a small-series or startup production environment
• Familiarity with an ERP system (we use Odoo)
• Exposure to gas measurement, sensor calibration, or ATEX/explosion-protected equipment

Benefits

• Hybrid Working: Work from our hub in Hamburg and from home

• Unlimited Vacation: Take as many holidays as you need - we trust you to recharge when it matters most
• Flexible Working Hours: Work during the hours that align with your peak performance and lifestyle
• Mental Health Matters: Access 1:1 psychologist sessions and workshops through our Bloom partnership
• Professional Growth: Use a dedicated development budget to enhance your skills and career
• Stock Option Plan: Receive virtual stocks as a reward for your trust, effort, and vision alignment
• Unite, Recharge, Celebrate: Join in-person team retreats to connect and have fun
