Highly qualified employees from the fields of electrical engineering, mechatronics, and commercial management are needed to implement the company's philosophy. A diverse range of tasks and flat hierarchies await new employees at our location in the Ottmarsheimer Höhe industrial park in Besigheim.
Taking on responsibility at an early stage is encouraged and enables employees at LQ Mechatronik-Systeme to develop their skills and make a significant contribution to the success of the company.
Professional and personal development is specifically promoted through training and further education measures. A pleasant, respectful, and open working atmosphere is a matter of course for the company.
Trainees Taking responsibility right from the start
Starting your career begins with choosing the right apprenticeship and the right company. Medium-sized companies offer particular advantages when it comes to training: manageable structures provide security, flat hierarchies enable contact at all levels, and involvement in real projects is guaranteed from day one. At LQ, you can expect a dynamic team in a modern atmosphere and a constantly growing, exciting environment. As a system supplier of high-quality electromechanical components, LQ is the first port of call when it comes to quality right from the start – because every machine is only as good as its individual parts.
At LQ Mechatronik-Systeme GmbH, you can apply for the following apprenticeships:
- Industrial clerk
- Mechatronics engineer
- Warehouse logistics specialist
- IT specialist for application development
Exciting training years at LQ At LQ, experienced professionals take care of the trainees
During your training at LQ Mechatronik-Systeme GmbH, you will spend time in various departments at our site in Besigheim-Ottmarsheim that are relevant to your training. This will give you a comprehensive overview of our corporate structure and allow you to gain in-depth knowledge of our products, markets, and business processes. For your mechatronics training, you can take your first practical steps in our training workshop under real conditions, but in a protected atmosphere. In an interdisciplinary learning unit in the first year of training, our trainees learn early on to think outside the box. Training is based on the classic dual system, a mixture of theory and practice. The theoretical content is taught to our trainees at vocational school; they learn the practical part at LQ. We also support our trainees with specially designed in-house lessons, in which the knowledge acquired at school can be repeated and consolidated.

• Duration of Training: The training period for industrial clerks and warehouse logistics specialists is usually 3 years, and 3.5 years for mechatronics engineers.
