Descrição da oferta de emprego

This opportunity requires relocation to the Netherlands!

Industry | High-Tech manufacturing

Based | The Netherlands

Research‑Square is partnering with several leading high‑tech organisations in the Netherlands. These companies operate at the forefront of innovation, developing advanced systems and precision equipment within complex multidisciplinary environments.

As a Mechanical Design Engineer, you will take ownership of mechanical modules, subsystems, or larger scopes within high‑tech systems. You will translate requirements into robust concepts and detailed designs, working closely with architects, system designers, and engineering teams to deliver high‑performance solutions.

This role requires a strong combination of technical depth, system understanding, and ownership, with a focus on delivering first‑time‑right designs that balance performance, manufacturability, and reliability.

We're hiring Mechanical Design Engineers to:

• Translate specifications into well‑founded mechanical concepts and detailed designs
• Take ownership of mechanical modules or subsystems within complex systems
• Perform advanced engineering analyses (tolerance analysis, strength, stiffness, FEM)
• Develop and detail 3D models, drawings, and technical documentation
• Make substantiated design decisions considering manufacturability, cost, and performance
• Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams and stakeholders
• Contribute to system integration, testing, and validation
• Identify technical risks and drive effective solutions
• Guide and support junior engineers and designers
• For more senior profiles:
• Lead technical work packages or mechanical design scopes
• Act as a technical sparring partner to system architects
• Contribute to system‑level design and architecture decisions
• Take a leading role in mentoring and coaching

We're looking for someone experienced with as much of the following as possible:

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field (BSc/MSc/PhD)
• 5+ years (medior) to 10+ years (senior) experience in high‑tech or precision engineering
• Experience in industries such as semiconductors, high‑tech equipment, aerospace, automotive, medical devices, or robotics
• Proven experience working on complex mechanical or mechatronic systems (not just individual components)
• Strong analytical skills and experience with engineering calculations and FEM
• Proven experience with tolerance analysis and precision design
• Experience working in a multidisciplinary development environment
• Knowledge of precision mechanics and high‑accuracy design principles
• Experience with CAD tools and complex 3D design
• Strong knowledge of Design for Excellence (DfX)
• Ability to take ownership and work independently
• Strong communication skills and stakeholder alignment

What we provide

• Full relocation suppor to help you (and your family) move smoothly to the Netherlands.
• Permanent contract offering long‑term stability.
• Housing support to assist in finding suitable accommodation.
• Dutch language course to help you integrate both professionally and socially.
• Regular social events to connect with colleagues and build your network.
• Training budget to support your personal and professional development.
