In a nutshell

As a Mechanical Development Engineer, you will be responsible for the design, development and industrialization of mechanical subsystems for high-tech machines. You will translate complex customer and product requirements into robust, reliable and manufacturable mechanical solutions, guiding designs from concept through to release for production.

You will work in close collaboration with multidisciplinary teams in an international environment, playing a key role in delivering high-quality, first-time-right designs and taking ownership of subsystem architecture and technical decision-making.

Your area of responsibility

• Translate customer and product requirements into clear mechanical concepts, architectures, and specifications, taking ownership of subsystem design strategy and key technical decisions
• Design, develop, and industrialize mechanical subsystems from concept through production release
• Create and maintain 3D CAD models, 2D drawings, and complete Bills of Materials (BOMs)
• Perform mechanical analyses including strength, stiffness, lifetime, manufacturability, assembly, and serviceability
• Own and maintain DFMEA and technical risk files, covering NVH, wear, and safety aspects
• Lead and contribute to design reviews, making fact-based, data-driven engineering decisions
• Support prototype builds, verification & validation activities, and (i)FAT testing
• Manage engineering changes (ECR/ECO), configuration management, and version control
• Deliver complete, compliant design packages ready for procurement and manufacturing, in line with QMS and CE / Machinery Directive requirements
• Drive manufacturability and cost optimization through cross-functional co‑engineering with suppliers and internal stakeholders
• Collaborate closely with Electrical & Software Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and Service teams
• Mentor junior and medior engineers and coordinate external engineering partners
• Advise project management on technical scope, planning, dependencies, and risk management

Job requirements

• Hold a bachelor’s or master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or Mechatronics
• Are fluent in Dutch
• Have strong experience in machine building or mechatronics (typically 7–12+ years for senior level)
• Are highly skilled in 3D CAD tools, preferably SolidWorks and PDM systems
• Have a solid understanding of GD&T, tolerance stack-ups, materials and basic CAE / FEA
• Have experience with DFMEA, verification planning and CE / Machinery Directive documentation
• Have experience in technical leadership, coaching or mentoring (considered a plus)
• Work in a structured way with a strong first-time-right mindset and sense of ownership
• Have experience collaborating with suppliers on manufacturability improvements and cost optimization

We offer

• A full-time, permanent position in an international and multicultural organization
• Compensation: monthly gross salary of €4,500–€6,000, plus an 8% annual bonus
• Flexible working hours, with start times between 7:00 – 9:00 and finish times between 16:00 –18:00
• Extensive opportunities for personal and professional development, supported by training programs, coaching, and clear career paths within an international organization
• The opportunity to work for a company with a strong commitment to sustainability and the development of circular economy solutions
