Graduate Automotive Technical Support Engineer (German-Speaking)

Are you a recent Automotive, Mechanical, Electrical, or Mechatronics graduate looking to launch your career in the global automotive industry?

This is a unique opportunity to relocate abroad and join a leading international automotive project in Budapest, one of Europe's most vibrant and affordable capital cities. At MSX International, you'll work alongside some of the industry's most experienced technical specialists, supporting a premium automotive manufacturer across the German-speaking market.

This role is designed as a career-launching opportunity, offering structured training, mentorship, and a clear pathway into Level 2 Technical Support, and senior technical specialist positions or to make a sidestep into warranty.

What you will do

As a Graduate Automotive Technical Support Engineer, you will support dealership technicians across the German-speaking network and develop expertise in vehicle diagnostics, repair processes, and emerging technologies.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Analysing vehicle faults, diagnostic data, error codes, and repair information.
• Supporting German-speaking dealership technicians through our professional ticketing platform.
• Investigating technical concerns and identifying root causes.
• Learning how technical support and warranty operations work within a global automotive manufacturer.
• Recommending effective repair solutions with guidance from senior technical specialists.
• Collaborating with highly experienced engineers and automotive experts across Europe.
• Documenting technical cases accurately and professionally.
• Building expertise in electric vehicle (EV), connected vehicle, and high-voltage technologies.
• Developing the skills required to progress into Warranty and Level 2 Technical Support roles.

✅ Exposure to advanced diagnostics, warranty operations, and EV technologies
