This position will be a key member of the Stationary Industrial Scanner Mechanical Team. As a member of this team, you will be shaping the future of Datalogic’s success designing mechanical components and assembly of complex optomechatronic devices for barcode reading application.

Role Mission

Drive the end-to-end mechanical design and development of complex optomechatronic devices, ensuring functional, reliable, and manufacturable solutions. Collaborate cross-functionally to optimize designs from concept through mass production, leveraging simulation tools and prototyping for early issue detection.

Key Responsibilities

• Execute detailed mechanical design tasks, including 3D modeling and 2D drafting, ensuring design compliance with specifications and reliability through structured validation and testing procedures.
• Select appropriate thermoplastic and metal materials, applying deep knowledge of their properties and manufacturing processes.
• Tolerance analysis, thermal and stress simulations and prototyping to anticipate, analyze, and resolve mechanical design issues early in the development process.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional R&D teams (Systems, Hardware, Optical Designers) throughout the product development process for optimal integration and production.
• Support cross-functional teams including Quality Assurance, Procurement, Operations and Manufacturing to ensure feasibility and production readiness.
• Engage with suppliers to co-design components during the design-for-manufacturing phase and support industrialization.
• Contribute to innovation through solution ideation and patent submissions, while maintaining accurate BoMs and up-to-date technical documentation.

Requirements

• Education: Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering.
• Languages: Italian, English fluent.
• Experience: +5 years of experience in Mechanical Design.

Technical & Soft Skills

• Strong knowledge of GD&T principle.
• Expertise in injection molding, die-casting and CNC machining processes including relevant standards.
• Preferred: knowledge of Siemens NX and Siemens Teamcenter SW, FEM SW (preferred MSC Nastran SW), CFD SW (preferred Ansys Icepak or Ansys Fluent).
• Strong problem-solving and innovation mindset.
• Open, communicative, excellent cross-functional collaborations skills; ability to anticipate and solve issues and recognize opportunities.
