Your career in mechanical engineering

Become part of Team FOOKE!

Imagine helping to make the design of cars such as Porsche, Mercedes, Audi, Ford and BMW a reality on our machines.

Or you could support the production of high-speed trains in China - where the side walls, roofs and floor assemblies are processed on our machines, which can be up to 90 metres long.

Aviation also offers you exciting challenges: Our machines mill the outer skin of aeroplanes to reduce weight - a technology used by Airbus to make its aircraft even more efficient.

And you can also put your technical skills to the test in motorsport. Parts for Formula 1 racing cars, such as those of Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes AMG, are produced on our machines - proof of the highest precision and performance.

At FOOKE, you will have the opportunity to contribute your technical knowledge in an international environment and shape the future of mechanical engineering together with us.

Become part of our team and utilise your skills in projects that make a difference worldwide!
