We are looking for someone with previous experience in production engineering and model-based production documentation, or someone with very good electrical competence and technical interest. You may have a post-secondary education as an engineer, designer, or vocational school, or have worked as an operator in cable manufacturing with good computer skills.

Additionally, it is advantageous if you have any of the following:

• Experience working in Delmia or other CAD programs
• Experience in larger business systems, preferably IFS ERP
• Understanding of wiring diagrams
