Hello everybody and thanks you for all the interest in our job offering! :smiley:

Sorry if this got lost in translation, but a Swiss residency or work permit is required for the job (as we expect you to work at least 50% onsite).

Cheers
Hannes

I tried to apply to work 100% remote because I have experience in the tools you need, I also contributed directly to NX, Scholar which are core for Bumblebee, as you can see here:
