• Drive Cross-Border Sync: Coordinate and execute globally split engineering work packages between your local hub and global competence centers (such as Germany).

• Pre-Simulate & Optimize: Run early-stage thermal and mechanical pre-simulations to ensure product survivability before physical build.

• Coordinate the Sample Shop: Work hand-in-hand with the local Prototype Shop to rapidly manifest, build, and test your new designs.

Who You Are

• The Educator: You hold an engineering degree focused on Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Design, or a related high-tech field.

• The Specialist: You possess a strong background in mechanical design and are an expert user of Catia CAD.
