  • 3+ years of professional mechanical engineering experience
  • Strong written English (C1/C2)
  • Strong Python proficiency for numerical validation
  • Stable internet connection 

Professional certifications (e.g., PE, CEng, PMP) and experience in international or applied projects are an advantage.
