• Solid communication and teamwork skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with simulators, hardware troubleshooting, or gaming systems.

• Exposure to automotive technology, software testing, or robotics environments.

• Enthusiasm for innovation, automation, and the future of mobility.

Note: We prioritize candidates with up to 5 years of hands-on technical or troubleshooting experience. Senior IT professionals or candidates with primarily theoretical experience are typically not a fit for this role.

Shifts

• Multiple shifts available: Day, Evening, and Weekend options.

• Flexibility is highly valued.
