WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

- Experience with wire harnesses and associated sub-components

- Familiarity with installing and troubleshooting various electronic sensors and components.

- Competence with electrical test equipment (multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, etc.)

- Experience with 3D CAD software

- Software fluency, enabling automation of test or analysis tasks.

- Flexibility to work in fast-paced environment

- Attentive to detail and maintain a high level of quality in all work

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
