With growing emphasis on sustainability, CDS is on the forefront of system development for hybrid and electric propulsion. What is my role type? In addition to transforming the future of flight, we are also transforming how and where we work. We've introduced role types to help you understand how you will operate in our blended work environment. Onsite: Employees who are working in Onsite roles will work primarily onsite. This includes all production and maintenance workers, as they are essential to the development of our engines. Candidates will learn more about role type and current site status throughout the recruiting process. For onsite and hybrid roles, commuting to and from the assigned site is the employee's personal responsibility. As part of our commitment to maintaining a secure hiring process, candidates may be asked to attend select steps of the interview process in-person at one of our office locations, regardless of whether the role is designated as on-site, hybrid or remote. ## Related Videos - [How Regex Works: The Secret Sauce Behind Pattern Matching](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1212-how-regex-works-the-secret-sauce-behind-pattern-matching) - [Dynamic Entities in .NET: Building Low-Code Systems on Top of Entity Framework Core](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100218-dynamic-entities-in-net-building-low-code-systems-on-top-of-entity-framework-core) - [Unveiling the Magic: Scaling Large Language Models to Serve Millions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1619-unveiling-the-magic-scaling-large-language-models-to-serve-millions) - [Building a hypercar from scratch](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/607-building-a-hypercar-from-scratch) - [Eclipse Qrisp: Next Generation of Quantum Algorithm Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1155-eclipse-qrisp-next-generation-of-quantum-algorithm-development) - [How to develop an autonomous car end-to-end: Robotic Drive and the mobility revolution](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/22-how-to-develop-an-autonomous-car-end-to-end-robotic-drive-and-the-mobility-revolution) ## Related Articles - [How software is steering vehicle technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/515-how-software-is-steering-vehicle-technology) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [How Much Does a Software Engineer Make?
