Your role

Are you passionate about cutting-edge thermodynamic innovations and eager to design the sustainable compressor products of tomorrow?

What does an r&d project engineer do at the Atlas Copco Group in Wilrijk? As an r&d project engineer, you will become part of a multi-disciplinary team consisting of several technology and design engineers who develop the next-generation core components for oil-injected screw compressors that power an enormous variety of global applications.
