Mechanical Engineer Product Development

Our client, working in construction technology, is seeking a Mechanical Engineer in Product Development. Reporting to the Director of Engineering and working with a cross-functional team, you will participate in concept through prototyping, test and production, ensuring designs are robust and manufacturable.

• Own the full lifecycle of mechanical design, from concept to detailed drawings;
• Develop high-precision mechanisms, optomechanical assemblies and enclosures;
• Work with optics, hardware, and firmware teams to ensure alignment and integration with optics, electronics, and embedded systems;
• Rapidly prototype mechanical concepts, using 3D printing, machining or other techniques;
• Lead testing and validation of designs under real-world conditions;
• Implement iterative improvements based on field and user feedback;
• Work closely with suppliers, contract manufacturers, and internal teams;
• Create and maintain technical documentation, BOMs, and assembly instructions;
• Promote DFM and DFA best practices;
• Collaborate with compliance teams to meet regulatory and safety standards.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's in Engineering (Mechanical, Mechatronics or similar);
• 5+ years of experience in mechanical engineering, with a focus on precision systems, optomechanical devices, robotics, etc.;
• Excellent knowledge of DFM and DFA, very complex tolerances, and a clear understanding of GD&T;
• Hands-on experience with prototyping, machining and 3D printing;
• Experience bringing hardware products from concept through to commercial manufacturing;
• Strong CAD skills (SolidWorks or similar) and experience with mechanical simulations (FEA, thermal, tolerance analysis);
• Knowledge of materials, manufacturing processes, and supply chain;
• Bilingual.
