In system development, it is the little things that make the most difference in terms of efficiency. We spend countless hours researching ways to reduce wear and tear on components and subsystems, while also trying to reduce the CO₂ emissions of the overall system. At the same time, we have to guarantee that these components, subsystems and the overall system all functional reliably. It is a matter of figuring out how to create lightweight components with an optimized friction coefficient while ensuring that the manufacturing process remains cost-efficient.

As a mechanical engineer, your job is to innovate and consistently come up with alternative solutions to how we design and build components, powertrains and complete drive systems. You must be able to adapt to different technologies and systems and handle system-specific boundary conditions. Have we sparked your interest?

To be the perfect fit for a role as a mechanical engineer at AVL, you need to be an interdisciplinary thinker. You must also have a post-secondary degree (or its equivalent) in mechatronics, mechanical, electrical or automotive engineering and have experience in the industry. The character traits required for this role include effective communication skills, organizational talent and an in-depth understanding of how the entire development process works. Economic knowledge is also a plus. You will need to be highly committed to the role and collaborate with team members across different departments.
