Just for a change – a US automaker is hiring.


Navistar is adding around 200 positions at its truck engineering facility in Fort Wayne, Indiana by the end of 2008.


The new jobs are for “degreed” professionals in mechanical, electrical, systems and software engineering include a mix of entry-level and management jobs, and contractor positions, the company said in a statement.


It is seeking people with experience in automotive engineering areas such as power train, drive train, brakes, HVAC, interiors, ergonomics, steering, suspensions, frame systems, harness design, electronics, software development, vehicle dynamics and finite element analysis.


“The need to add to the existing Fort Wayne talent base of approximately 1,100 employees and contractors stems from Navistar’s development of new strategic alliances, growth of existing vehicle programmes and future emissions requirements,” the company said.
