Location: Italy / Hybrid | Position: Open. We are looking for a Senior Designer to support the development of complex and bespoke engineering projects. This role focuses on the translation of engineering concepts into detailed, buildable designs, working closely with engineers and project leads. You will be involved in projects where standard solutions do not apply, requiring precision, adaptability, and a strong understanding of how things are actually built. Who we are looking for: We are not looking for a draftsman. We are looking for a designer who understands how things are built, capable of contributing actively to the development of technical solutions, not just representing them.
