🚀 Your role
We are seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer to design, prototype, and refine the mechanical systems that form the physical backbone of our energy harvesting modules, from trigger assemblies to structural road plate housings built to endure continuous high-load vehicle traffic.
🔧 Your tasks
Design and development of mechanical trigger assemblies, structural housings, and road plate components Creation of 3D CAD models, detailed assembly drawings, and technical drawings using SolidWorks Technical calculations and FEA simulations to ensure structural durability under dynamic loading Material selection and specification of bearings, seals, and fasteners for long service life BOM (Bill of materials) creation for mechanical subsystems Support in the development of concepts for prototypes and test benches Management of external manufacturing and machining parties Testing and analyzing prototypes as well as evaluating, documenting, and adapting results Provide hands-on technical support during system development and field installation Collaborate with cross-functional teams including electrical, hydraulic, mechatronics engineers and physicists
🧠Your profile
Degree in Mechanical Engineering or a comparable qualification Strong CAD skills, SolidWorks preferred — including detailed assembly drawings and GD&T Experience with FEA tools (ANSYS, COMSOL, or similar) Understanding of manufacturing processes: machining, welding, sheet metal fabrication Ability to own a design from concept through physical prototype and field deployment Strong craftsmanship skills and strong technical judgement Enthusiasm for energy transition, sustainability and future energy technologies Proactive and structured work style, solution-oriented thinking and the joy to work in a dynamic start-up environment Strong collaboration skills to work with electrical, hydraulic, mechatronics engineers an
