FERCHAU, a leading technology service provider, is hiring a Design Engineer Defence (m/f/d) in Lemwerder for shipbuilding and defence projects. You will design components, assemblies and systems that meet the toughest demands at sea, using CAD such as Siemens NX, and you will get a permanent contract with access to the FERCHAU Academy.

Position Overview
As Design Engineer Defence, you design and develop components, assemblies and systems in shipbuilding with a focus on defence projects.
