Role Summary

The Field Application Engineer (FAE) is a hands-on, vehicle system-level role. You will work directly on prototype vehicles and lab cars to investigate complex, cross-subsystem issues, capturing the data needed to reproduce and isolate them. You will also provide diagnostic and integration support on-site at partner facilities. The focus is on getting close to the hardware and the buses, producing clear findings that development teams can act on.

This role is based in our Berlin office and requires a minimum of three days per week onsite, with occasional travel to other company and partner sites as needed.
