Job description

Overview

As a System Designer Mechanics, you play a vital role in supporting the System Architect in deriving system requirements from customer needs. In this role, you support our customers in the high tech industry with developing cutting‑edge equipment, both in the Brainport region and internationally. Together with experts in mechanics, mechatronics, electronics, software and mathematics you will bring high‑tech solutions to life, such as advanced lithography machines, compact electron microscopes or medical devices that automate human tissue analysis.

What excites you as a System Designer Mechanics?

• Translate requirements into mechanical and mechatronic concepts and designs within a multidisciplinary system context.
• Perform detailed calculations and analyses, including strength and stiffness evaluations, design optimizations, and use of FEM software.
• Create Work Breakdown Structures (WBS) with accurate time and complexity estimates and take ownership of executing technical work packages.
• Lead your own multidisciplinary team of designers and engineers, organising and delegating tasks to ensure project completion.
• Identify potential technical risks early and propose effective mitigation strategies.
• Actively promote and implement synergy between different engineering disciplines within the project.
• Take ownership of broader and more complex scopes and challenges within the mechanical domain, including stakeholder management, technical leadership of a larger team, and topics such as competence development.

This is what you bring to the table

• A MSc or PhD degree in Mechanics and/or Mechatronics.
• At least 5 years – and 10 years for the senior role – of experience and expertise in the field of mechatronic systems and precision mechanics.
• Excellent technical skills and strong creativity to come up with unconventional (multi‑disciplinary) solutions.
• A strong analytical mind and a conceptual thinking level. You have excellent analytical skills, and you are experienced in the use of supporting methods and tools (NX, Teamcenter, FEM, Matlab, 20sim, etc.).
• The ability to easily switch to pragmatic approaches where needed.
• Good knowledge of Design for Manufacturability, Assembly, Cost, and Reliability.
• Strong leadership and communication skills. You lead a multi‑disciplinary team of designers and engineers to success.

This is what you can expect in return from Sioux

• A flexible 32–40 hour working week, with room to work from home.
• A healthy work‑life balance is very important to us; we have 28 holidays with an option to acquire an additional 12 holidays.
• You will work with passionate colleagues who share your drive for technology and business success.
• By combining our expertise in software, electronics, mechanics, mechatronics, mathematics and assembly, we make the impossible possible for our customers – working on challenging high‑tech projects.
• You get a lot of freedom and responsibility; after all, you know exactly what you are doing.
• Personal coaching and a training budget of €6000 per year, so you can keep developing yourself.
