Your Role and your Team:

We are looking for an outstanding analysis engineer with a strong background in stress, fatigue and structural dynamics analysis, to work within the team dealing with the structural calculations of the Energy Storage System (ESS) and help us shape the future of urban e-mobility.

In this position, you will have the exciting opportunity to work within the rapidly growing Structural Analysis Team. You will report to the Team Lead - Stress, through the function, working as part of the Structural Analysis Department.
