Mechanical Design/Simulation Engineer

Mechanical Design:

• Developing design solutions within defined concept taking into account material, manufacturing and economic aspects.
• Creating and monitoring design schedule
• Performing design calculations, examining costs and tracking
• Developing initiative concepts and ensuring feasibility
• Optimizing designs based on customer’s feedback
• Documenting designs (bills of materials, technical specifications, design guidelines)
• Components and Connectors (CC) design

Mechanical Simulation:

• Derive the cause-effect relation of product characteristics by building and using simulation models and evaluating measurements.
• Support to define new product features and test benches and ensure their feasibility with respect to specifications, material, manufacturing and economical aspects.
• Improve internal simulation tools and update modelling guidelines.
• Document the simulation result and impact on development process in report or modelling guidelines.
• Divide own projects into work packages and give a prognosis for on spec, on time and on budget. Communicate current status to project team.

Requirements

Mechanical Design

• Bachelor or above in mechanical-related engineering fields (machinery, automotive, mechatronics, aeronautics, engineering mechanics, computational engineer...).
• 1 - 5 years of experience as a design engineer (plastic design) is preferred
• Willingness to learn. Responsiveness to uncertainty. Passion in product design and development.
• Critical thinking and engineering problem solving skills.

Mechanical Simulation

• Have experience with simulations tools NX-CAE, Abaqus, Ansys, etc. and ability to use Python or MATLAB, C++, Java, etc. for scripting and data analysis.
