What's the role?
As part of a multi-disciplinary development team, you are the leading force behind one or more subassemblies of a direct fastening tool. Here you will develop innovative ideas and drive their optimization until series-production readiness and you will contribute to further differentiate our tools from competition.
Who is Hilti?

What does the role involve?
You will be working in a cross-functional team of development engineers, production specialist, purchasers and marketing peers. After thoroughly capturing the customer requirements and consulting experienced development colleagues, you will design novel concepts and confirm the value proposition of your solution at first hand.
