Do you want to be part of developing the high-tech solutions of the future that contribute to global security? Our client is an established leader in the defense industry and offers a dynamic and technology-driven work environment where innovation is at the forefront.
Here, you will work on exciting projects with high technical complexity and significant societal impact. The organization is characterized by a strong culture of collaboration – working closely together in project form and cooperation occurs both horizontally and vertically within the company.
With our client, you will not only have the opportunity to grow in your professional role but also contribute to something that truly makes a difference. More information about the position will be provided during the interview process.
About the PositionIn this role, you will work as a senior mechanical designer developing subsystems related to advanced defense systems. You will design components and structures in various materials – such as steel, aluminum, composites, and using additive manufacturing (AM technology). The work includes both new development and further development of existing solutions and is done in close collaboration with other technical areas.
Examples of tasks:
Design of load-bearing structures, control and installation details, and integration of electronic components.
Preparation of technical documentation such as drawings, models, specifications, and installation documentation.
Development of subsystems for installation on various platforms, such as vehicles or ships.
Active participation in project work and technical discussions with both internal and external stakeholders.
For those who want to further develop, there are several possible paths depending on interest – for example, as a technical specialist, team lead, or in more strategic and coordinating roles.
Your QualificationsWe are looking for someone with an engineering degree in mechanical engineering, mechanics, product development, or a similar field. Alternatively, you have built up equivalent competence through extensive professional experience. You have at least five years of experience working as a mechanical designer and are accustomed to working in a CAD environment.
Experience with CAD tools such as CATIA, DELMIA, or 3DEXPERIENCE (3DX) is advantageous. Experience with lightweight constructions in materials such as aluminum or composites is also valuable, as well as knowledge in design for additive manufacturing (AM/3D printing). If you have previously held a leadership role – such as team lead, technical leader, or similar – this is also considered an asset.
To thrive and succeed in this role, it is important that you have excellent collaboration skills and are both communicative and pedagogical in your way of working. You are social and appreciate discussing and exchanging ideas with colleagues from different disciplines. You are not afraid to ask questions when something is unclear and have an open attitude where you are happy to share your knowledge and help others.
