## Description (the employer's text)

### 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 an ambitious Team Lead ready to build on a well documented and certified production process, leading a motivated team of 12 Technicians. We are looking for some one to raise our production standards further and make them the best in the industry. You will bring outside knowledge and drive real operational change.
