Manufacturing Lead

At Dispelix we develop and deliver see-through waveguide combiners that are used as transparent displays in augmented reality (AR)

devices. Our elegant, high-performance AR waveguides seamlessly combine the virtual and the real. We are a trusted and visionary

partner for the industry leaders in AR, enabling them to redefine the form, function, and feel of AR wearables. Dispelix is

headquartered in Finland.

As we continue to scale customer programs, improve execution speed, and bring new products and manufacturing processes to

production, we are looking for a Manufacturing Lead to strengthen our Product Engineering team in Espoo. The role focuses on

industrialization, manufacturing readiness, and building repeatable ways of working from early development to scalable delivery.

You will be part of our Product Engineering team, working at the intersection of R&D, manufacturing, quality, supply chain,

suppliers and customer programs. Together, we make sure that new products and processes are ready for reliable, scalable

manufacturing.

In this role you will own the manufacturing workstream in customer and internal projects. This is not a line-management position,

but a project-driven technical leadership role in manufacturing.

• Develop repeatable Product Engineering ways of working that improve lead time, predictability, manufacturability and execution

quality across internal and customer-driven deliverables

• Define manufacturing concepts, process flows, assembly methods, and test strategy together with R&D, and help turn early

prototypes into repeatable manufacturing solutions

• Partner with R&D to translate product and process requirements into robust process windows and clear acceptance criteria (e.g.,

high‑precision assembly, coatings/thin films, metrology, cleanroom practices where relevant)

• Plan and execute production ramp‑up: capacity, yield, cycle time, and quality targets; drive root‑cause analysis and corrective

actions

• Use Lean thinking to identify constraints, reduce waiting time and rework, and improve the flow from engineering decisions to

manufacturing execution

• Strong understanding of manufacturing processes, tolerances, quality requirements and lead time drivers, and how they translate

into stable and predictable production

• Proven ability to improve manufacturing flow through data, structured problem solving and practical continuous improvement

actions

• Background in precision manufacturing (optics, micro‑structures, coatings/thin films, cleanroom work, or other high‑tolerance

processes)

• Familiarity with micro‑/nano‑manufacturing or semiconductor manufacturing methods is a plus (e.g., cleanroom workflows,

photolithography/replication, thin‑film deposition/coating, etching/ablation, wafer‑level thinking and metrology)

• Lean manufacturing mindset and hands-on experience with continuous improvement methods; Six Sigma experience, such as Green

Belt, is a plus

• Enjoy working in a challenge-driven, collaborative, and international work environment and are not afraid to challenge the

status quo

Dispelix offers a modern workplace with flexible working arrangements, comfortable offices, and state-of-the-art R&D facilities.

We provide equal opportunities for everyone to make an impact and grow to their full potential. You’ll enjoy a wide variety of

benefits to complement your monthly salary, support your health and well-being, and make your working days as enjoyable as

possible at our office.
