Engineering services firm spanning hardware, software, and systems integration across defense and industrial sectors
Schmitt Engineering is a mid-sized engineering services firm founded in 1993, headquartered in Erlangen with over 100 employees across Bavaria. The tech stack—CATIA, Creo, MATLAB, SAP, Siemens NX, AutoCAD, plus industrial protocol expertise (OPC UA, Modbus, IEC 61850, DNP3)—reveals a company deeply embedded in mechanical design, simulation, and manufacturing operations. Active projects span missile guidance algorithms, SCADA architectures, and railway vehicle design; hiring is accelerating across engineering roles, signaling growth in complex systems delivery.
Schmitt Engineering provides hardware development, software development, construction, IT services, quality management, and project management to customers in vehicle technology, medical technology, mechanical engineering, aerospace, appliances, and energy sectors. The company operates primarily in the Nuremberg and Regensburg metropolitan regions but serves clients nationwide. The engineering-weighted hiring profile (90 of 117 active roles) and mid-seniority composition reflect a project-delivery model dependent on technical staffing. Pain points center on supply-chain digitalization, production data timeliness, and logistics optimization—typical friction points for firms scaling manufacturing support services.
Primary tools include CATIA and Creo (mechanical CAD), Siemens NX (design/simulation), MATLAB (algorithms), SAP (ERP), AutoCAD, EPLAN (electrical design), and industrial protocols: OPC UA, Modbus, IEC 61850, DNP3. STAR-CCM+ for CFD and Teamcenter for PLM round out the stack.
Vehicle technology, medical technology, mechanical and plant engineering, aerospace, home appliances, and energy/power plant technology. The company has supplied well-known customers in high-tech sectors for over 25 years.
