Brief Call: Our process typically begins with a brief virtual/phone conversation to get to know you. The objective is to learn about you, understand your motivations, and make sure we have the right job for you.

Interviews (the average number of interviews is 3 – the number may vary depending on the level of seniority required for the position). During the interviews, you will meet people from our team: your line manager of course, but also other people related to your future role. We will talk in depth about you, your experience, and skills, but also about the position and what will be expected of you. You will also get to know Amaris: our culture, our roots, our teams, and your career opportunities.

Case study: Depending on the position, we may ask you to take a test. This could be a role play, a technical assessment, a problem-solving scenario, etc.

As you know, every person is different and so is every role in a company. That is why we have to adapt accordingly, and the process may differ slightly at times. However, please know that we always put ourselves in the candidate's shoes to ensure they have the best possible experience. We look forward to meeting you!

• Mentor and guide internal engineers, sharing best practices and accelerating knowledge transfer.
• Manage own workload, deliverables, and timelines with minimal supervision—aligned with project objectives.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics, Systems, Industrial, or related field).

• Certified Six Sigma Green Belt or Black Belt, or equivalent problem-solving training, is highly valued.
• Strong analytical, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
• Independent, proactive, and results-oriented—able to deliver under tight timelines.
