- Solid understanding of drivetrain architectures, NVH, and durability requirements
- Experience with simulation-driven development, system validation, and APQP processes
- International work experience or collaboration with multi-site engineering teams
- Familiarity with validation tools and test planning (e.g. durability test cycles, NVH testing)
- Open for possibility to relocate to China as a part of career progression, typically after 3 to 5 years in this role
- Fluency in both English and Chinese is required to effectively communicate in our multinational environment and with diverse stakeholders. German language skills would be considered an advantage
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
What we offer:
This role offers the opportunity to lead cutting-edge development projects in advanced drivetrain systems, driving innovation in next-generation differential and EDU subsystems - while enabling mentorship and the development of a sustainable engineering organization.
