Production

PRECISION YOU CAN TOUCH.
BUILT INTO EVERYTHING WE MAKE.

Production at MTU means:

our success is measured in

µm

not by mass.

one engine consists of more than

30.000

parts and we know them all.

that our work has been helping aircraft between

1960

and today reach new heights.

to support our 1.5° climate target by saving

25,000

tons of CO2 by 2030.

Production at MTU puts the dream of flying within reach – and we mean that literally. Our 2,000 employees do more than just make rotor and stator parts or components for aviation engines and stationary gas turbines. They also handle assembly work for MTU’s military and commercial programs, along with repairs and maintenance for engines and engine parts. Our goal is to steadily improve the performance, quality, and reliability of the 400,000 parts and components we produce each year – including lower costs and shorter delivery times.

MTU production – extraordinary in depth and breadth of manufacturing

The complexity and diversity of MTU’s production operations are unique. And we’re not just saying that, either. Our requirements for the precision and quality of our parts and components demand extensive vertical integration compared to other manufacturers. And that means we handle production, assembly, and testing in-house. Across every stage of production and the entire value creation cycle, we deliver many products and services that are 100% made by MTU. What does that mean for you? A career in an environment found nowhere else in the world.

Excellence in OEM (original equipment manufacturing)

GTF (Geared Turbofan) engine production with highly automated machinery, running 24/7 – in production at MTU, our OEM segment encompasses about ten different departments, all of them working on producing new parts and developments, including the associated testing and documentation. Success in this field demands three things above all: a knack for machines, a talent for troubleshooting, and enthusiasm for highly detailed handicraft.

Expertise in MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul)

CF6-50, EJ200, or maybe PW1100G-JM instead? Maintaining and repairing well-known engines is the core of this production segment. Our classic parts shop works on highly sophisticated components, some of them dating as far back as the 1970s. Automation isn’t the key to success here. Instead, it’s our people – people born with a drive to tinker, who harness their outstanding craftsmanship and eagle eye for detail.

From older components to high-tech engines – at MTU, expect variety

Alongside our holistic, integrative cooperation and the complexity of our work, the wide spectrum of different activities is another aspect that sets production at MTU apart. We think farther, go farther, and get farther because we scrutinize the status quo every single day, pushing the limits of what is possible time and again.

Specialized tasks call for specialized methods – we develop them

There’s no such thing as impossible. We believe that if there’s no method, no machine yet in existence that meets the cutting-edge requirements of a highly specialized production operation like that of MTU, then we need to develop it ourselves. Alongside precise electrochemical machining (PECM), a patented high-tech production process, we also develop things like our own coating systems, including ER-Coat, and then carry them out ourselves, too. What does that mean for you?

A wide range of career opportunities in production at MTU

We offer exciting career paths for specialists in a particular discipline who are looking to take things to the next level and experienced generalists who want to grasp and resolve complex challenges as part of a team. In short, anyone with skills in drilling, milling, machining, testing, assembly, or receiving is welcome at MTU, as are engineering and programming professionals who plan and create processes and automated systems or develop fast, efficient, and cost-effective manufacturing programs.

Ready for takeoff – join us and spread your wings

Just as flying is associated with freedom, we view individual responsibility, independence, and a passion for the technology used in aircraft of all kinds, commercial or military, as inseparably linked to the work done in production at MTU. From the shop floor to the office, all of us at MTU have more freedom than elsewhere. We can contribute our ideas, try new things, and continue to grow and develop in the process.

Want to work as part of a strong team with sophisticated technology that is making the mobility of tomorrow even greener? Then the door is open for a career at MTU.
