About the job

Senior / Lead level · High-tech machinery · North Brabant · Customised machines from concept to realisation · €5,000–€6,000 gross per month

IntroductionWould you like to design complex machines and take ownership of the engineering behind them? At this international machinery manufacturer, you will translate customer requirements into practical, manufacturable solutions. You will work on customised machines and mechanical modules, combining established technology with new designs and improvements.

We welcome experienced Mechanical Engineers who enjoy designing and taking technical responsibility, as well as engineers who already lead projects and guide colleagues. The balance between hands-on design and technical coordination will depend on your experience, strengths and ambitions.

Your responsibilities:You will work within Order Engineering, collaborating with mechanical, electrical and software engineers, project management, purchasing and production. You will remain involved as designs move towards manufacturing, assembly and testing.

Your core responsibilities include:Translate customer requirements and technical specifications into mechanical concepts and detailed designs.
Design structures, modules and assemblies using parametric 3D CAD software.
Select and integrate components such as motors, drives, sensors, bearings and linear guides.
Choose materials and manufacturing methods, considering sheet metal fabrication, machining, assembly and cost.
Perform engineering calculations, tolerance stack-up analyses and design risk assessments.
Prepare and maintain manufacturing drawings, bills of materials and technical documentation.
Resolve engineering questions during manufacturing, assembly and testing.
Improve existing designs through standardisation, component reuse and practical cost reduction.

If you already have technical leadership experience, your responsibilities can also include:Review customer requirements and sales specifications for feasibility, scope and engineering effort.
Establish the overall machine concept and guide engineers through detailed design.
Coordinate engineering activities with colleagues locally and internationally.
Monitor technical quality, engineering schedules, risks, changes and costs.
Lead technical discussions with customers, suppliers and internal stakeholders.
Coordinate design reviews and release.
