• Hands-on experience using laboratory and diagnostic equipment to investigate complex or intermittent findings, identify root causes, and validate solutions
• A proactive and structured approach with strong stakeholder management and communication skills, combined with the curiosity to explore complex problems, learn new technologies, and challenge conventional thinking when searching for answers

What You'll Get from Us

You'll join a collaborative environment where quality, innovation, and continuous improvement go hand in hand. Working closely with experts across engineering, manufacturing, and quality, you'll have the opportunity to build your expertise across electronics, software, reliability, and product performance while contributing to meaningful solutions for customers around the world.

Furthermore:

• We promote from within and support your learning with mentoring, training, and access to global opportunities.
