Design Engineer (m/f/d) – Press Technology

Do you not just design on a computer screen, but also want to see, test, and touch what you've created? Then you've come to the right place.

We are a dynamic team that develops robust, reliable pressing technology for our customers in the wine industry—from the initial idea to production readiness. With us, you don’t just design—you also assemble, test, and oversee your own designs all the way to the finished product. And because we align our work with our customers’ harvest seasons, no two months are alike: sometimes you’ll be designing and documenting intensively, other times you’ll be on the road visiting customers, and still other times you’ll be right there at the machine during assembly.

As a specialist in press technology, you’ll combine many disciplines in a single role—and your ideas are in high demand. We develop technology that’s precisely tailored to our customers’ needs, and you’ll have the freedom to contribute your creativity to exciting projects.
