8% holiday allowance

Job summary

Tulip Tech in the Netherlands seeks a Mechanical Engineer to own the mechanical design of a battery system from CAD models to production handover. You will design lightweight, thermally efficient enclosures and assemblies in SolidWorks, validated for structural integrity and environmental durability.

You will prototype with CNC, 3D printing, and shop tools, driving early prototyping and design-for-manufacture feedback to the engineering team as we scale to volume production.

Qualifications

• Proven mechanical design experience in a real manufacturing or production environment.
• Strong SolidWorks skills: assemblies, drawings, and BOM management.
• FEA and thermal analysis to validate designs under structural and thermal load.
• Working knowledge of manufacturing methods: CNC machining, injection molding, sheet metal, and extrusion.
• A hands-on mentality: you build and break things to prove they work, not just model them.
• The judgment to work from engineering knowledge and experience, not procedures alone.

Responsibilities

• Battery enclosures and mechanical assemblies, designed in SolidWorks to be light, thermally efficient, and manufacturable at scale.
