Role Summary
As a Concept Development Engineer in the Powertrain Pre-development team, you will work at the very frontier of our BEV and combustion-based architecture.

- Drive cross-functional technical studies and pre-development activities, often in high-uncertainty environments
- Collaborate closely with teams in vehicle layout, controls, testing, and industrialization
- Visualize and communicate design ideas through sketches, CAD models, and structured decision materials
- Identify and propose innovative technical solutions based on customer needs, technical feasibility, and cost targets
Who You Are
- You are innovative, flexible and curious – and you thrive in a fast-paced, creative engineering environment.
- You have 5+ experience in powertrain or complete vehicle development and are comfortable working conceptually and cross-functionally.
- You enjoy exploring alternative technical paths, thinking outside the box, and translating ideas into clear proposals.
We welcome applicants from all backgrounds – your unique experience and perspectives are valuable to us.
