As part of the mechanical development teams, you will design and develop mechanical solutions that meet the technical, regulatory, and industrial requirements of Socomec products.

Responsibilities

• Mechanically develop technical modules that can be integrated into electrical panels.
• Analyze and translate marketing specifications into technical specifications.
• Design mechanical solutions in a multiphysics environment (mechanical, electrical, thermal).
• Manage development phases according to the V-model: feasibility, design, prototyping, testing, and validation.
• Use and operate CAD tools.
• Collaborate with the qualification, industrialization, and production teams during technical discussions.
• Contribute to continuous improvement and the capitalization of technical solutions.

Qualifications

• Master’s degree or a general engineering or mechanical engineering degree.
• At least 5 years of experience in mechanical design.
• Skills in designing mechanical systems incorporating multiphysics constraints.
• Proficiency in CAD software, ideally CREO or NX.
• English B2 level.

Additional skills that could make you stand out even more:

• Knowledge of standards related to electrical panels.
• Experience with V-model product development.

Because your profile isn’t just about technical skills:

• Curiosity and a technical aptitude for understanding complex environments.
• Team spirit and the ability to work on cross‑functional projects.
• Agility and the ability to seek out information from internal contacts.
