Systems Engineer / Systems Architect (m/f/d) – Automotive Engineering

Hako GmbH - Unternehmenszentrale Bad Oldesloe
Full-time
Permanent employee

Your mission

How does a vehicle need to be designed so that hydraulics, electronics, software, and high-voltage technology work together perfectly? If that question intrigues you and you want to not only conceive of concepts but see them come to life in real machines, this is the right place for you. As a systems engineer, you will be responsible for the architecture of our municipal vehicles across the entire product line: you translate extensive requirements into viable system concepts, weigh function, cost, effort, and technical risk against one another, and determine how many individual components come together to form a coherent overall vehicle. What you design today will be on the road in a few years—with plenty of creative latitude and a closeness to the machine that lets you climb aboard yourself now and then.

For our Municipal Technology product line at our Bad Oldesloe location, we are therefore seeking, as soon as possible, on a permanent, full-time basis, a
