Job offer description

The R&D Damper System group takes new developments from an initial concept through to a production intended design. Close collaboration with production then follows during the industrialization phase in order to fully steer the product into successful production. This role is to set up a long term direction for the technology and then develop designs to meet these requirements from concept through to production, within the time and cost defined by the Technology Project Manager. The design definition is generated by a logical cascade of functional requirements coming from the vehicle level or the end consumer. The company is placing a strong focus to grow R&D as it is viewed as a key element to support future growth. The environment is challenging but rewarding and provides good opportunities for personal growth and career progression for the right candidates.

Job Description of the Project Engineer:
