Working as part of the Quality Department, you will focus on Quality Planning to support the development of new products and their seamless introduction into production. Throughout the apprenticeship, you will gain the skills and experience needed to become a specialist in electrical and electronic engineering, working closely with our global supplier network. You’ll be guided by experienced automotive engineering professionals and benefit from valuable cross‑functional collaboration, helping you build a broad understanding of our business and the wider industry.
