Provide timely support to the technical service team and contribute to internal product and service training, including field test activities.

Support manufacturing and vendors by resolving design‑related issues, preparing technical specifications, and coordinating engineering sample procurement.

Thrive in a small, high‑output global team with a proactive, innovative mindset; demonstrate strong decision‑making, adaptability, and the ability to manage multiple projects and timelines. Participate in design reviews and project updates.

Your Experience and Qualifications

Electrical or Mechanical Engineering Degree is preferred, minimum 4‑year degree. Other related fields will be considered based on experience.

Experience with CAD modeling tools such as Creo or similar is required. Ability to understand, read, and create wiring diagrams.

Ability to specify electrical components for mobile machinery, such as relays, fuses, speed sensors, and pressure transducers.

Proficient in written and oral communication in English; team is located across 3 sites in NA, SA, and EME.

Capable of working effectively with cross‑functional engineering teams, product service, manufacturing, purchasing, and other internal groups.
