Working Student - Electrical Engineering (F/M/D)

OUR VISION

When people use our technology to "bridge the gap" between the physical and digital worlds, they don’t just capture reality - they create a new one. In this new reality, they are smarter, more productive, more streamlined, and more creative - because they have the digital foundation to build the world they want to live in. That’s what NavVis offers in all our products and services: the tools to not just map the world as it is, but to pave the way to a better future. To forge something new. Physical or digital, there is only one reality. And it’s the reality NavVis empowers people to build better.

THE OPPORTUNITY

The Electrical Engineering team is expanding to support new projects that bring mobile mapping technology from concept to production. You will join a hands-on team designing and developing custom electronics for NavVis mobile mapping systems, working with advanced PCBs, high-speed signals, power management, and rigid-flex designs. You will work closely with experienced engineers to build prototypes, develop test setups, characterize hardware, troubleshoot issues, and support the transition from prototype to production. You will also collaborate with Mechanical Design, Embedded Software, Supply Chain, and Software Engineering teams to integrate electrical systems into the product. Your work directly affects the reliability and performance of NavVis products used by customers worldwide.
