Mechanical Development Engineer

We are looking for a Mechanical Development Engineer who loves turning complex requirements into smart, reliable and manufacturable mechanical solutions. In this role you will design, develop and industrialise mechanical subsystems for high‑tech machines — from the first concept all the way to release for production. You work closely with colleagues across engineering disciplines and play a key role in delivering high‑quality, first‑time‑right designs.

Your main focus will be

• Translate customer and product requirements into clear mechanical concepts and specifications.
• Create 3D CAD models, 2D drawings and complete BOMs.
• Perform mechanical analyses (strength, stiffness, lifetime, DFMEA, manufacturability, assembly, serviceability).
• Collaborate with Electrical/Software, Manufacturing, Supply Chain and Service.
• Support prototype builds, V&V activities and (i)FAT testing.
• Manage engineering changes (ECR/ECO) and maintain configuration and version control.
• Document designs according to QMS and CE/Machinery Directive requirements.
• Deliver complete design packages ready for procurement and manufacturing.
• Own subsystem architecture, concept decisions and design strategy.
• Lead design reviews and make fact‑based technical decisions.
• Build and maintain DFMEA/risk files including NVH, wear and safety aspects.
• Drive manufacturability, co‑engineering with suppliers, cost optimisation and standardisation.
• Mentor junior/medior engineers and guide external engineering partners.
• Advise project management on scope, planning and risks.

What you bring

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or Mechatronics.
• Experience in machine building/mechatronics; 7–12+ years for Senior level.
• Strong skills in 3D CAD (preferably SolidWorks & PDM).
• Excellent understanding of GD&T, tolerance stack‑ups, materials and basic CAE/FEA.
• Experience with DFMEA, verification planning and CE/Machinery Directive documentation.
• Strong communication skills in Dutch and English and ability to work with multiple stakeholders. Proven experience in technical leadership or coaching is a pre.
• Structured, first‑time‑right mindset with a strong sense of ownership.
• Experience collaborating with suppliers on manufacturability and cost improvements.
