The working language is English. The ability of working effectively in that language, including the participation in technical meetings and/or boards and the production of high-quality technical documents and reports, is therefore essential

The work can be done in part remotely, but because certain tasks must be done at the customer's site and given that commuting costs will not be supported, in practice the candidate will be requested to be based in Prague or surroundings.

The start date is between Q2 and Q3 2025.

Priority will be given to candidates already eligible to work in the Czech Republic
