Technical product designer training
Do you have good spatial perception? Do you enjoy drawing – with precision and attention to detail? Are you fascinated by technology? Then this training program is the right path for you.
This helps you to understand what you will subsequently design as a technical product designer and how it works and you learn the fundamentals of metalworking in practice. We also give you an insight into the fields of pneumatics and control technology. All of this takes place while you complete your fundamental drawing and design training. The assignment of small, independent projects let you develop graphics and documentation as well as detailed designs. Incidentally, drawings are no longer two-dimensional, but are created from three-dimensional models using CAD systems. So we also impart comprehensive knowledge about 3D computer modeling.
The practical part of your basic training is predominantly held at our plant in Graben-Neudorf. Some parts of the technical training is also held in Bruchsal. At the same time, your practical training will be supplemented by theoretical knowledge at the vocational school.

Between the office and the workshop
My name is Julia Bauer and I am currently in my first year of the technical product designer program. As I am interested in mathematics and art, I spent ages looking for the right job on the Internet. That's where I found the profession of technical product designer. I found it interesting that this profession had a lot to do with spatial perception. I then completed two internships at different companies to get a better picture of what it was all about. These confirmed my desire to continue in this profession. As I come from Bruchsal I was familiar with SEW-EURODRIVE and only ever heard and read good things about the company so it was my first choice.
