Your mission
As a Mechanical Engineer in our Tech team, your mission is to support the design, prototyping, and hands-on development of innovative battery manufacturing solutions. You will play an important role in advancing our process development by combining CAD modelling, 3D printing, and hands-on mechanical skills. This position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to the engineering of next-generation battery manufacturing, working closely with an international and technology-driven team to support our journey.
YOUR TASK
* Design and modify 3D CAD models for manufacturing prototypes, machines, and fixtures.
* Measure, select and purchase parts in the field of pneumatics, fluid flow, motors, sensors, and similar.
* Use 3D printing and basic machining tools, including drilling and milling, to build prototypes and testing apparatus.
* Participate in design reviews, conduct risk analyses, and support hands-on execution by assembling and commissioning prototypes, as well as assisting with testing setups to evaluate mechanical functionality and design robustness.
* Document designs, BOMs, test setups, and findings to support future development and enhance design iterations.
Your profile
* You have a degree in Mechanical, Mechatronics or Production Engineering, or a related field.
* You have at least 2 years of experience in 3D CAD modelling (such as Autodesk Inventor) and experience in CAD assembly, tolerance stack up, and preparing 2D CAD drawings (applying GD&T) for manufacturing.
* You have a solid understanding of mechanical design principles, solid mechanics, thermodynamics and fluid mechanics.
* You have a good knowledge of manufacturing processes and design-for-manufacturability principles.
* You are competent in hands-on mechanical abilities, including drilling, cutting, grinding and fitting. Experience with lathe, milling, and basic machining is a plus.
* Having experience in 3D printing and rapid prototyping is desirable.
* Having experience in pneumatic systems, fluid flow control, and process automation is a valuable plus.
* You are self-motivated, adaptable and reliable, with strong attention to detail, demonstrating a proactive problem-solving approach in a collaborative, agile start-up environment.
