• Expertise in designing and building mechanical solutions and production equipment.
• Familiarity with CAM and servo-controlled machines, automation, and vision systems (e.g., Cognex), which is advantageous but not required.
• Fluent in both Danish and English, enabling effective communication in a global production environment.
