Electronics Manufacturing Production Manager

Airios is looking for a production manager to lead our electronics manufacturing facility in Veldhoven, The Netherlands.

At Airios we love to create a healthier world with state-of-the-art climate controls for homes and buildings. Airios develops and produces control systems for residential ventilation and heating.

The Airios organizational structure is informal, flexible, and we enjoy a collegial environment.
