What will you do?

As a Mechanical Design Engineer, you work on the technical development of existing machine concepts and customer-specific solutions. You create designs in SolidWorks and, together with the engineering team, ensure they are technically sound and practically feasible.

Your tasks include:

Developing 3D models, assemblies and production drawings in SolidWorks.
Performing FEM analyses to support structural designs, with support from experienced colleagues where needed.
Developing and working out customised technical solutions for international customers, with a degree of independence that matches your experience.
Taking PED, Ex and ADR guidelines and other relevant standards into account when developing and assessing designs.
Working closely with production, service and suppliers to make designs practically feasible.
Contributing ideas for technical improvements and the further development of our machines, from working out ideas to independently initiating improvements.

What do we offer?

Working on high-quality Vacu-Press machines that are deployed worldwide.
A varied role combining both existing machine concepts and customer-specific projects.
Room for technical development, personal initiative and responsibility that matches your experience. Plenty of collaboration with experienced engineers and colleagues from production and service.

Good secondary employment conditions.
A full-time position of 38 hours per week.
An informal working environment with short lines of communication.
