Carraro (www.carraro.com) is an International Group Leader in transmission systems for off-road vehicles and specialized tractors.
The Group's activities are divided into two Business Areas:
- Transmission systems (axles and transmissions) and components mainly for agricultural and earthmoving machinery, as well as a wide range of gears intended for highly differentiated sectors: from automotive to material handling, from agricultural applications to earthmoving.
- Specialized tractors (vineyard and orchard, between 60 and 100 horsepower) aimed at third parties and engineering services aimed at designing innovative ranges of tractors.
Carraro Group counts 4.000 employees world-wide - of which 1.800 in Italy - and has production sites in Italy (4), India, China and Argentina.
The HQ is based in Padua.
We are looking for a CONTROL SYSTEM ENGINEER - INTERNSHIP to support our R& D team.
Would you like to have the opportunity to collaborate with us on one of these thesis proposals?
