Are you ready to help shape the next generation of energy-efficient technologies? Join our Energy Conversion team, where we develop innovative standard products for steam applications based on our existing blower and compressor systems. As an R&D engineer, you will play a key role in transforming ideas into reliable, high-performing solutions that contribute to a more sustainable future.
In this role, you will work closely with the project leader, project engineers, and designers within a multidisciplinary engineering team.
