Why now is the perfect time to be an Otis engineer
How Otis engineers are creating smart, connected cities
There are thousands of engineers at Otis, who all help shape the world we live in. Residential and commercial elevators are becoming smarter and more connected than ever. You can find sophisticated, technology-rich elevators in super high-rise buildings as well as small residential and commercial properties, transportation hubs and everywhere people are on the move. Our engineers collaborate with colleagues from around the world, lead the digital transformation of our industry, and consistently innovate to improve experiences for our customers in an increasingly connected urban environment.
Q&A from Haran Vela, SVP, Engineering, on why now is the perfect time to be an Otis engineer
Working at Otis as an engineer is a mission that everyone understands and values. As we take the mechanical elevator to its current connected elevator status, we are challenging engineers to solve problems of speed, rise, acoustics and vibration. Where else can you offer engineers an opportunity to give people freedom to connect and thrive in a taller, faster, smarter world. As an engineer, if that doesn't get you excited, I don't know what will.
