• Lead mechanical design projects from concept through to product release.

• Develop designs optimized for manufacturability and cost efficiency.

• Apply advanced GD&T principles and perform tolerance stack analyses.

• Collaborate closely with vendors and manufacturing teams to ensure design feasibility, quality, and cost effectiveness.

• Create detailed 3D models and engineering drawings using CAD tools.

• Support prototype development and testing, incorporating feedback into design iterations.

• Participate in design reviews and cross-functional team meetings.

• Maintain documentation and ensure compliance with engineering standards.

• Bachelor's or master's degree in mechanical engineering or related field.

• Minimum 5 years of combined practical and theoretical experience in mechanical design and manufacturing.

• Strong expertise in precision machining and familiarity with a wide range of manufacturing processes including:

• Turning, milling, welding, electro-erosion, polishing, etc.

• Proven experience in design for manufacturability and cost optimization.

• Excellent knowledge of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) and tolerance stack-up.

• Hands-on experience in high-tech manufacturing environments, preferably involving precision mechanics and diverse materials.

• Demonstrated success in vendor collaboration and project completion to product release.

• Fluent in English, with good proficiency in German.

• Experience with PLM systems and engineering change processes.

• Familiarity with ISO standards and quality systems.

• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.
