JE Future Innovators Program

Are you looking to connect theory with real-world engineering and explore concrete opportunities for your career development? Then join us for JE Future Innovators Program , a half-day workshop designed to introduce you to the technologies, culture, and people behind Johnson Electric. Our Aachen site plays a key role in developing advanced motion solutions for automotive and industrial applications — and we are always looking for motivated students to join us through thesis projects, internships, and working student positions . During the workshop, you will experience our Innovation Lab up close, meet our engineers, and discover how you can actively contribute to shaping the mobility solutions of tomorrow.
