Description

FEV is a global engineering consultancy providing services within the complete mobility space, including the passenger car and heavy-duty commercial industry. If you are interested in joining a team of experienced engineers developing advanced powertrain systems, that leverage both conventional combustion engines and electrification to address future performance, fuel economy and emissions requirements, FEV is where you want to be.

FEV offers interested students the opportunity to work within highly technical engineering teams that are focused on developing the next generation powertrain systems. Each engineering assistant is assigned an experienced engineer as a direct mentor who provides project tasks, training and guidance. The role engages the engineering assistant in powertrain development through testing and data analysis, as well as project team and customer interaction. The engineering assistant will have the opportunity to participate in internal FEV training and team activities. Based on the benefit for the employee to become deeply involved in a customer project and the opportunity to gain more responsibility as their experience grows, FEV prefers an internship duration of six months to one year. Opportunities to expand involvement into calibration or additional development tasks will be provided to high performing and motivated assistants with the consideration for full time hire at the completion of the internship period.
