About the Role

We are looking for a highly experienced and technically strong Senior Mechanical Engineer (f/m/d) who can take ownership of complex mechanical designs from concept through detailed engineering, manufacturing, assembly, and validation.

This is a hands‑on engineering role for someone with strong mechanical engineering fundamentals, extensive practical design experience, and advanced SolidWorks capabilities.

Responsibilities

• Take technical ownership of complex mechanical components, assemblies, and subsystems from concept through manufacturing, assembly, and validation

• Develop robust mechanical designs for high-precision scientific and industrial equipment

• Create and maintain high-quality SolidWorks parts, assemblies, manufacturing drawings, BOMs, and technical documentation

• Perform tolerance analysis and define appropriate fits, interfaces, geometric tolerances, and dimensional requirements

• Translate system-level requirements into clear mechanical requirements, interfaces, and manufacturable design solutions

• Define manufacturing requirements and work closely with suppliers and Procurement on manufacturability, materials, tolerances, and quality

• Develop, test, and improve prototypes and actively contribute to design reviews and technical decision-making

Requirements

Required skills:

• BSc or MSc degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Precision Engineering, or a closely related discipline
