What is my role?

As a development engineer, you independently accompany your products from the specification sheet to market launch. You design, calculate, and develop standardised components and assemblies for transport, longitudinal transfer, and aluminium profile systems. The focus is on manufacturing-friendly, economical solutions and the optimal multiple use of components in modular systems. You build prototypes, commission them, and systematically evaluate calculations, measurements, and tests. You also use the industrial 3D printer. You work closely with internal departments, product management, and external suppliers, support market launch and product training, and advise on technical questions regarding customer projects and project assemblies.

What do I need to be successful?

• You have a completed degree as a mechanical engineer FH/ETH (Bachelor or Master), ideally complemented by basic training as a designer or alternatively as a polymechanic

• You bring experience in the development and design of mechanical components and assemblies; knowledge in manufacturing-oriented design of tool-bound parts such as plastic injection moulding, die casting, aluminium extrusion, or plastic extrusion is an advantage

• You enjoy standardised product components and modular modular systems and ideally have experience in variant management

• You are proficient with modern 3D CAD systems, preferably SolidWorks, and apply dimensional, form, and positional tolerances functionally and cost-effectively. Knowledge of SolidWorks Simulation or FEM is an advantage

• You are interested in additive manufacturing processes and combine analytical thinking with a passion for innovation and an eye for economical, manufacturable solutions

• You work independently, structured, and customer-oriented, appreciate teamwork as well as collaboration with suppliers, and gladly take on responsibility

• You have command of the English language, both spoken and written

What are my benefits?

• Challenging and varied tasks in an innovative technological environment where you can truly make a difference
