Do you like the joy of creating unique, valuable and sustainable products with a team of like-minded individuals? Then this might be the role for you!


Your responsibilities

As a Lead Mechanical Engineer you boost the development of our Electric Marine Powertrain technology. You will contribute to the design and validation of components, systems and subsystems. Propel conforms to industrial development processes like APQP. You will work with colleagues from various disciplines and with suppliers in a multi-disciplinary environment.

As we are working on cutting edge technology, our product development is continuously facing a number of design challenges. Given the size of the team, we expect you to be able to work independently in an autonomous setting.
