About the Role
As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you will be responsible for designing and developing mechanical components primarily molded plastic parts- for next‑generation analytical instruments. You will contribute across the entire development cycle, from early concept creation and prototyping to final production. The focus is on delivering robust, manufacturable, and user‑centered solutions.
You will work in a supportive, open environment where collaboration and knowledge‑sharing are part of everyday life. The company values work‑life balance and offers flexible working hours along with occasional remote work opportunities. You will collaborate closely with colleagues in Business Development, Innovation, UX/UI, Supply Chain, and Production, contributing to long‑term strategic product development.
Responsibilities
-
Take ownership of mechanical development tasks for new instruments
-
Translate user needs and system requirements into mechanical concepts
-
Build early prototypes and validate design ideas
- Ensure manufacturability and robustness through tolerance analysis and sound engineering principles
- Work with toolmakers, suppliers, and manufacturing teams to finalize production‑ready designs
- Support continuous improvement of design processes and product quality
Must‑Have Qualifications
-
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent)
-
At least 5 years of experience in mechanical product development
-
Proven experience finalizing parts for production
