At Biomotion, we build advanced 3D bioprinters that help researchers create realistic human tissue models for drug screening. Our mission is to develop devices that drive standardization and make 3D cell culture simple, fast, and reliable, paving the way for the next discoveries in pharmaceutical research.
If you enjoy solving complex mechanical challenges and want your work to power a breakthrough in life sciences, this is the place for you.
YOUR ROLE
As a CAD Engineer, you will play an essential role in turning ideas into manufacturable designs for our bioprinter platform. You will take early prototypes and concepts from our R&D lead and turn them into detailed assemblies ready for production. This position involves close collaboration, rapid prototyping, and design optimization, as well as close interaction with manufacturing partners.
RESPONSIBILITIES
* Translating engineering workflows into clear requirements and 3D CAD assemblies.
* Designing bioprinter and printhead components with a strong focus on manufacturability, cost-efficiency, and industrialization.
* Creating and optimizing drawings for CNC machining, 3D printing, and other prototyping methods.
* Engaging in technical discussions with manufacturers to ensure feasibility and quality.
* Using simulation tools to validate and refine designs.
* Applying design-for-minimal-parts and cost optimization.
QUALIFICATIONS
* A degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
* Background in designing mechatronic systems that involve motion and assemblies.
* Strong proficiency in SolidWorks, including PDM management.
* Ability to perform engineering calculations to confirm whether parts and assemblies meet functional and structural requirements.
* Expertise in optimizing designs for CNC machining, 3D printing, and other prototyping methods.
* Hands‑on familiarity with 3D printing for rapid prototyping and transitioning designs to metal when needed.
* A collaborative approach and openness to frequent design iterations and discussions with manufacturers.
* Knowledge of cost optimization and design‑for‑assembly principles.
* Experience with simulation tools such as FEA and CFD.
WHAT TO EXPECT
* Impactful Work: Your designs will directly shape a product that redefines how new medicines are developed.
* Rapid Iteration: We move fast. You will prototype, test, and refine designs in short cycles, learning from real‑world feedback.
* Hands‑On Engineering: From CAD to 3D printing to manufacturable metal parts, you will own the process end to end.
* Collaboration: Work closely with our R&D lead and interact with manufacturers to ensure feasibility and quality.
At Biomotion Technologies, we value creativity and autonomy. We offer a dynamic startup environment with minimal bureaucracy, flexibility in how you work, and plenty of opportunities to learn and grow. Your ideas and contributions will have a direct impact on our projects and future products.
We adhere to the collective agreement minimum salary of EUR 2.668,69 (14x p.a., full‑time equivalent) and are open to overpaying based on qualifications and experience.
Interested? Please reach out to us at jobs@biomotion.tech with a CV, a short motivation letter and, if possible, a portfolio showcasing your previous work. We would love to see examples that demonstrate your experience in designing mechatronic systems and turning concepts into manufacturable designs.
