• A bachelor’s or masters degree in mechanical engineering, mechatronics, electrical engineering, physics, or another relevant technical field, plus extensive experience in a technical production environment
• Project or Internship experience supporting manufacturing processes, production equipment, tooling, hardware, or software.
• Experience with new product introduction, product development, manufacturing engineering, or process improvement.

Skills

Working at the cutting edge of tech, you’ll always have new challenges and new problems to solve – and working together is the only way to do that. You won’t work in a silo. Instead, you’ll be part of a creative, dynamic work environment where you’ll collaborate with supportive colleagues. There is always space for creative and unique points of view. You’ll have the flexibility and trust to choose how best to tackle tasks and solve problems.

To thrive in this job, you’ll need the following skills:

• Apply strong analytical and structured problem-solving skills to complex technical challenges.
• Work independently while collaborating effectively across engineering and manufacturing teams.
• Communicate technical information clearly to colleagues with different levels of technical expertise.
• Take ownership of problems and drive solutions through implementation.
