Resident Engineer – NEV Manufacturer Support

Beijing, China (On-site) Posted 21 May 2026
Resident Engineer – NEV Manufacturer Support — NTM Engineering

Work embedded at a local NEV manufacturer in Beijing, representing the engineering and quality interests of our European partners on-site.

About the Role

As a Resident Engineer at NTM Engineering, you work embedded at a local new-energy-vehicle (NEV) manufacturer in Beijing, acting as our European partners' eyes, ears and technical voice inside a live OEM development site. You represent their engineering and quality interests on the ground every day — close to the prototypes, the production line and the decisions, where remote oversight simply cannot reach.

Your scope spans field analysis, warranty and quality topics, and software-update campaigns across the vehicle fleet. You investigate issues at the source, coordinate with local engineering teams, and keep information flowing cleanly between the Chinese OEM and European stakeholders — across language, time zones and two very different engineering cultures. When a topic is technical, political or both, you are the person who keeps it moving.

This is a role for someone who is equal parts automotive engineer and diplomat. You document technical status precisely, report regularly to European partners, and resolve problems on the ground before they escalate into program risks. You build trust on both sides — with local colleagues who need a reliable counterpart, and with European stakeholders who need an honest, competent view from inside the OEM.

With 5+ years of automotive engineering experience, ideally including time in a local Chinese OEM or joint-venture environment, you bring both technical depth and cultural fluency. Bilingual Chinese/English and genuine intercultural skill are what make the difference here, in one of the most strategically important resident-engineering positions in China's automotive industry.

Responsibilities

  • Resident engineering at a local OEM development site
  • Field analysis, warranty topics and software update campaigns
  • Interface between local teams and European stakeholders
  • Technical documentation and regular status reporting

Your Profile

  • 5+ years automotive engineering experience
  • Experience in a local Chinese OEM or JV environment
  • Bilingual Chinese/English; German a plus
  • Strong communication and intercultural skills

What We Offer

  • Real OEM and Tier-1 projects — meaningful, hands-on work from day one, with no agency layers in between
  • Short decision paths and a flat structure — you work directly with the founders, and your ideas reach the people who decide
  • A close-knit, international team working in three languages (German, Chinese, English) in a truly intercultural environment
  • A front-row seat in China's automotive industry — on-site in Beijing, Hefei and Shanghai
  • Competitive compensation, relocation support and genuine room to grow
  • A culture that listens: improvement ideas are discussed together as a team, not filed away
  • Regular team events and a workplace where people genuinely look out for one another
  • ISO 9001 environment, with an NDA signed from the very first conversation

Location

Beijing is the engineering heart of NTM and home base for our German OEM programs. You work on-site at OEM facilities and in our own workshop in Haidian — close to development teams, prototypes and decision-makers.
