You will:

• Design the supporting hardware of our metrology tool, from the machine housing and frames to the system support structures
• Take designs from concept to production drawings, select materials and finishes, and make them manufacturable
• Work directly with CNC shops and other suppliers: request quotes, discuss tolerances and design changes, and follow parts to delivery
• Use analysis (FEM, thermal, dynamic) where it matters, and keep designs simple where it does not
• Assemble and test your own designs in the lab, and feed what you learn into the next version
• 
  

Your profile

• 3+ years of hands-on experience in mechanical design of high-tech equipment, for example semiconductor, metrology or scientific instruments
• A track record of designs that went from CAD to working hardware, including drawings and supplier contact
• Fluent in 3D CAD (Creo preferred, SolidWorks or NX also fine)
• Solid grasp of tolerancing, GD&T, and design for manufacturing and assembly
• Practical knowledge of machining and other production methods, so you know what a CNC shop can and cannot do
• A hands-on mindset: you are as comfortable at the lab bench as behind your CAD station
• Full professional proficiency in English
