Head of In-House Manufacturing, Falcom

Are you ready to build and manage a high‑precision manufacturing hub in a growing defense technology company? In this role, you will take responsibility for FalCom’s in‑house manufacturing, securing reliable, flexible and high‑quality production of our advanced hearing protection and communication systems for those who protect us.

We are looking for a Head of In‑House Manufacturing to establish and run our internal production unit in Ballerup, Denmark – covering prototyping, first builds, small‑series production, rework and product modifications.

The team you will be part of
FalCom is built on GN’s legacy of more than 155 years of innovation in intelligent audio solutions. As part of the GN Group, headquartered in Ballerup, we are committed to developing advanced hearing protection solutions that facilitate clear communication and enhance safety for defense, law enforcement and security professionals.

Within FalCom Operations, the In‑House Manufacturing team currently consists of Operators, a Toolmaker, a Molding Process Engineer, Test & Quality Technicians and a Warehouse Manager, supporting both development projects and customer deliveries. You will report to the Director of Operations and collaborate closely with R&D, Industrialization, Supply Chain and our external manufacturing partners.

Your contribution is appreciated
We are in pursuit of a operational manufacturing manager who can translate product and industrialization requirements into robust processes, stable output and continuous improvement. You will be instrumental in building a flexible, high‑mix/low‑volume production environment that supports FalCom’s growth and scalability.

In this role, you will be responsible for:

• Building and managing the In‑House Manufacturing function – setting direction, defining roles and responsibilities and developing a high‑performing team
• Day‑to‑day management of production activities – planning, prioritization and execution of prototyping, first builds, small cable and plastic production, rework and product modifications
• Production performance and stability – safety, delivery reliability, productivity, quality, scrap and rework levels, and adherence to standards and SOPs
• Manufacturing processes and equipment – ensuring robust assembly, molding and test processes, proper maintenance and calibration of tools and fixtures, and readiness for new products
• Collaboration with Industrialization and R&D – supporting design‑for‑manufacturing, pilot builds, Engineering Validation Tests and seamless hand‑over from development to volume production (internal or external)
• Compliance and documentation – ensuring that work instructions, routings, test procedures and production records are up‑to‑date, auditable and aligned with GN/FalCom quality requirements
• Continuous improvement – identifying and driving improvements in safety, flow, lead time, yield and cost, using data and structured problem‑solving methods
• Capacity and capability planning – matching resources, skills, tools and layout to current and future demand, including support for urgent customer needs and special builds

thrive in the role, we imagine that you:

• Have a relevant technical education ( Production/Mechanical/Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing Technology or similar)
• Bring solid experience from a production/manufacturing environment, preferably within electronics, cables, plastics or other technology‑intensive products
• Have proven leadership experience from managing operators, technicians or similar profiles in a workshop or factory setting
• Are comfortable working in a high‑mix, low‑volume and build‑to‑order environment, balancing structure with flexibility
• Understand manufacturing processes and methods such as assembly, soldering, cable production, injection molding, testing and rework
• Are familiar with production planning and ERP systems (experience with Microsoft D365 or similar is an advantage)
• Work in a data‑driven way, using KPIs and facts to secure performance and drive improvement
• Communicate clearly in English and Danish
