Between fields
Embedded systems, automation and systems engineering sit between Engineering and IT; we invite for these roles at the IT Career Fair on 28 April as well. Technical sales, industrial engineering and project management connect Engineering and Business and are part of the Business Career Fair on 27 April, too. One ticket covers all three days.
Engineering Career Fair
Engineering meets IT
Machines, vehicles and plants contain more and more software. On 29 April we invite for these roles as well:
Embedded systems
Engineering and IT: developing hardware and software together, for example for control units, sensors or medical technology.
Automation and industrial IoT
Engineering and data: controlling plants via PLC and using sensor data from production, for example for predictive maintenance.
Software in engineering
Engineering and software: simulation, digital twins and Python for engineers, from calculation to test automation.
If you want to go deeper into software, the IT Career Fair on 28 April is your day; your ticket is valid for both.
