Team Lead Assembly

OUR VISION

When people use our technology to "bridge the gap" between the physical and digital worlds, they don’t just capture reality - they create a new one. In this new reality, they are smarter, more productive, more streamlined, and more creative - because they have the digital foundation to build the world they want to live in.

That’s what NavVis offers in all our products and services: the tools to not just map the world as it is, but to pave the way to a better future. To forge something new. Physical or digital, there is only one reality. And it’s the reality NavVis empowers people to build better. 

THE OPPORTUNITY

At NavVis, we build the world's most advanced mobile mapping systems — professional-grade hardware that enterprise customers across the globe rely on to capture and digitize physical spaces. Every NavVis VLX and NavVis MLX that ships to a customer is built, calibrated, and quality-checked by our Assembly team. They are the last hands on every device before it reaches the customer — and the quality of what we ship is a direct reflection of how this team works.

We are looking for a Team Lead to take full ownership of this team and raise the bar on what great production looks like at NavVis. You will inherit a stable, motivated team with low turnover, solid processes, and real pride in their craft — and you will have a genuine mandate to make it exceptional. From driving continuous improvement on the shop floor to designing our brand-new production environment as part of a planned relocation in 2027, this role has the kind of scope and autonomy that is hard to find in a team of our size.

HOW YOU WILL MAKE AN IMPACT

• Own daily production planning and task allocation across the assembly team, meeting throughput targets set in collaboration with your Director and Sales

• Develop and grow your team through regular 1:1s, structured career conversations, and a culture of high standards and genuine care for people

• Implement and sustain 5S and visual management standards as a living culture, not a one-time project

• Eliminate recurring shop floor friction — material flow inefficiencies, unclear handoffs, wasted motion — and improve material consumption planning in collaboration with SCM and inventory teams

• Drive knowledge documentation so critical knowledge is captured and shared, not held in individuals

• Co-lead the office and shop floor relocation planned for Q3 2027, managing early preparation as a significant operational project

• Translate process improvements from the Production Support team into sustainable shop floor practice

• Onboard new team members to NavVis standards and contribute to production workflow improvements within the existing Jira system

WHAT WILL HELP YOU SUCCEED IN THE ROLE

• 5+ years leading a production or assembly team in a hardware manufacturing environment

• Hands-on experience with lean manufacturing, 5S, and continuous improvement in a live production context (not only theoretical familiarity)

• Strong people leadership track record: developing team members, addressing underperformance directly, and earning team trust

• Comfort working within digital production workflows and the ability to learn new tools quickly and improve them thoughtfully

• Organized, structured, and calm under pressure — you create stability on the shop floor

Nice to have:

• Experience with Jira or similar workflow tools in a production context

• Background in precision or electro-mechanical assembly

• Experience planning or executing a facility relocation

• German language skills (our Munich team is bilingual; English is the primary working language)

HOW WE WILL KNOW WE ARE A PERFECT MATCH

Your recruiting partner for this role is Sylvie (she/her). You can expect to go through a screening call, and up to 4 rounds of interviews, where we would love to discover your passion and interests, introduce you to who we are and what drives us, and finally understand how we can potentially add value to each other's growth.

• Affordable access to a vast network of fitness and wellness facilities through EGYM Wellpass subsidy
• Deutschlandticket subsidy to support sustainable travel using public transport
