Key Responsibilities

• Lead the mechanical design of components and assemblies from concept through product release, ensuring manufacturability, functionality, and reliability.
• Evaluate materials - metals, alloys, coatings, composites, and polymers - for performance in demanding environments (vacuum, thermal, dynamic loads), in consultation with senior technical staff on novel or high-risk material choices.
• Apply GD&T principles and tolerance stack-up analysis to develop designs meeting quality and performance requirements.
• Identify and troubleshoot mechanical problems with limited supervision.
• Develop and modify mechanical layouts, schematics, drawings, and specifications.
• Design mechanical tooling and fixturing to support handling, assembly, and disassembly of parts and subassemblies.
• Collaborate with manufacturing engineering, machining vendors, suppliers, and quality teams to optimize manufacturability and cost.
• Participate in design reviews and manufacturability assessments for new product introductions.
• Create detailed 3D models, engineering drawings, and documentation using CAD tools (Creo, NX, or similar).
• Support prototype development and validation testing, incorporating feedback into design iterations.

Required Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor's or master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Engineering, or related field.
• 5-8 years of combined practical and theoretical experience in mechanical (vacuum) design
• Strong expertise in machining and manufacturing processes
• Proven experience in design for manufacturability and cost optimization.
• Strong knowledge of GD&T and tolerance stack-up analysis.
• Hands-on experience in high-tech manufacturing environments
• Demonstrated success in vendor collaboration through to product release.
• Fluent in English, with good proficiency in German.

Preferred Skills

• Exposure to high-purity, high-vacuum, or contamination-sensitive applications.
• Familiarity with coating technologies and heat treatment processes.
• Experience with engineering change processes.
• Familiarity with ISO standards and quality systems.
• Exposure to basic FEA/thermal simulation.
