No two projects are the same, giving you the opportunity to work with some of the industry's most innovative engineering teams.
What You'll Be Doing
- Support the delivery of customer projects from planning through to completion.
- Coordinate project activities, deliverables, schedules, and stakeholder communication.
- Work with customers to understand technical requirements and recommend appropriate dSPACE solutions.
- Assist with the implementation, configuration, and troubleshooting of automotive communication and simulation systems.
- Support Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) business development activities.
- Identify project risks and dependencies and communicate them effectively.
- Collaborate with colleagues across sales, engineering, and support teams to ensure successful project outcomes.
- Contribute to internal demonstration systems, proof-of-concepts, and run technical workshops for customers.
- Stay informed on emerging automotive technologies, vehicle architectures, and communication standards.
