Premium aircraft seating manufacturer with global operations
RECARO Aircraft Seating designs and manufactures premium cabin seating for commercial aviation across economy, premium, and business class. The tech stack is heavily SAP-centric (S/4HANA, Basis, RISE) paired with specialized aerospace engineering tools (CATIA, LS-DYNA, Teamcenter)—a setup typical of regulated manufacturing at scale. The hiring mix reflects a production-driven operation: engineering and manufacturing roles dominate open positions, while the active project list signals operational focus on cost reduction (scrap, defects, materials) and compliance (EASA Part 21 certification).
