Stellenbosch, South Africa Cloudline Full time

Despite leaps in drone technology, last-mile aerial operations remain expensive and complex. For most developing nations, last-mile logistics remains one of the most challenging hurdles
- making entire communities inaccessible to world markets and depriving them of essential goods.

Cloudline is an African-founded start-up that designs and manufactures autonomous, solar-powered airships that can carry larger payloads at a fraction of the cost of all drone technology currently available worldwide

To date, Cloudline has raised over $4 million to develop its technology, grow local talent and ramp up production for its first customers in Kenya, Mozambique, Namibia and South Africa. Using a model to train and recruit local talent in each customer country, Cloudline is making aerospace careers a viable option for all young talented youth in Africa while opening the world to vibrant yet underserved African communities.

Cloudline is searching for a Production Manager to join its Engineering Team in Stellenbosch, Cape Winelands. The incumbent will be responsible for managing the workshop, manufacturing various components ranging from electronics to composites, training workers in the responsible use of machinery, improving designs with manufacturing in mind, standardizing system testing, standardizing stock management, ensuring health and safety codes are followed, identifying problems in the production line, troubleshooting equipment, and completing various administrative tasks.
