## Your Role

Product Impact Engineers are our highest-ownership engineers, embedded directly inside the production environments of our customers - industry leaders including BMW, Audi, BSH, Stellantis, Still, TDK Electronics, and Co. You operate where our platform "Kosmos" meets the reality of the factory floor: you identify the hardest technical problems of customers, and you solve them through software, data, and AI, operating in the most critical, high-stake customers’ processes. You spend the majority of your time building: designing integration architectures, developing AI-driven applications, and delivering working solutions that create measurable impact inside customer environments, becoming a trusted technical contact for our customers.

## Your Responsibilities

- Direct software and AI application development within customer projects
- Troubleshoot, document, co-create solutions alongside senior software engineers, and drive product development

- Learn how production processes, IT infrastructure and AI products intersect
- Translate customer requirements into technical solutions and specifications

## Your Profile

- Degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or similar
- 0 to 4 years professional experience or internships in software engineering, and similar
- Hands-on experience through on projects, ventures, or product development
- Strong analytical and communication skills, explaining tech to non-tech

- Business-fluent in German and English
- Based in Munich or willing to relocate, ready to go all-in with us

## What We Offer

- Unique opportunity to become part of a top-tier team with hands-on responsibility and learn how to build lasting collaborations with leading customers

- Top-of-market compensation with equity package
- Develop a best-in-class network (funding, industry, and talent) in Europe and the US
- A fast-paced environment backed by the world's best investors with the world's leading organizations as customers
