We are currently seeking a talented and innovative Mechanical Design Engineer to join our
engineering team. The primary responsibility of this role is the mechanical development of
sensors, focusing on design solutions using metal sheets. The successful candidate will
play a crucial role in the lifecycle of product development, from conceptual design
through integration testing and delivery to operations. This position offers a unique
opportunity to contribute to the development of cutting-edge sensor technology and to
work in a dynamic and collaborative environment.
A day in the life:
Design and Development: Design and develop the mechanical elements of our sensors, with a focus on sheet metal design. Design electromechanical enclosures and packaging. DTC for mass production solutions.
Integration Testing: Take full responsibility for the integration testing of products. Develop test plans, lead tests, and collaborate with other team members to assess performance against specifications and make necessary adjustments to designs.
Product Delivery: Oversee the transition of products from the development phase to operations and supply chain teams. Ensure that products meet all technical requirements, quality standards, and cost constraints and are delivered on schedule.
Collaboration with Subcontractors: Work closely with mechanical subcontractors to enhance productivity, meet design specifications, and ensure quality standards. This includes consulting on design, overseeing their work quality, and ensuring timely component delivery.
Production Support: Provide ongoing support for production, including troubleshooting issues in the field and implementing improvements based on feedback received from operations and end-users.
Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teams, including electrical engineers, software developers, signal-processing researchers, and project managers, to ensure seamless integration and alignment with required performance of the developed sensors.
Collaboration on Groundbreaking Technologies: Collaborate across company groups to explore and develop innovative technologies. Proactively contribute to cross-disciplinary projects, leveraging mechanical design expertise to drive technological advancements.
Requirements: B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering or higher education (or equivalent experience).
3+ years of proven experience in mechanical design engineering, preferably in sensor development or similar products.
Strong proficiency in CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD).
Experience with metal sheet design and other fabrication techniques.
Experience with mechanical stress simulation tools.
Hands-on capabilities for prototyping and test setup design and assembly.
Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently as well as part of a team.
Agility and ability to switch between projects.
Self-motivated with a sharp learning curve.
Excellent written and reading skills in English.
Nice to have:
Strong background in design of components for high-volume fabrication techniques, such as: stamping, die casting, extrusion, and injection molding.
Experience with polymeric component design.
Experience with FEM professional tools.
Experience with various sensor technologies.
Experience in working with supply chains, NPI, contract manufacturers, consultants, and design partners.
This position is open to all candidates.
