Your New Place of Work

At PTC, we do have a worldwide Flex@PTC policy that enables hybrid working models, both in the office and from remote. However, given that we have just moved into the Munich Werksviertel, we bet that you will probably want to spend quite a bit of time there, meeting and collaborating with your colleagues in person in a top-notch environment!

Currently we are seeking you for a maternity leave replacement for one of our team members. This means that the contract will be termed for approx. one or two years (depending on the duration of the maternity leave). However, as nobody knows how things will be developing over the next 1-2 years, an extension might be possible.

PTC unleashes industrial innovation with award-winning, market-proven solutions that enable companies to differentiate their products and services, improve operational excellence, and increase workforce productivity. With PTC, and its partner ecosystem, manufacturers can capitalize on the promise of today’s new technology to drive digital transformation.
