Mechanical Design Engineer (m/f/d)

Your responsibilities:

• Design and further develop opto-mechanical assemblies for laser-sustained-plasma (LSP) light sources based on defined requirement specifications
• High precision optomechanical engineering, including tolerance and thermal-expansion analyses
• Create 3D models, derive manufacturing-ready technical drawings and maintain bills of materials
• Independently build, align, test and troubleshoot prototypes on the test bench – on site and together with internal partners
• Define suitable materials, surface and joining processes as well as inspection criteria for incoming goods quality control
• Collaborate closely with suppliers on technical details, cost and lead times to shorten procurement cycles
• Perform FEM simulations (eigenfrequencies, static/thermal deformation) and tolerance analyses to de-risk the design
• Contribute to design reviews and safety testing and prepare technical documentation and presentations Minimum Qualifications Your profile:

• Completed degree in Mechanical Engineering, Precision Engineering, Physical Engineering or a comparable field
• Minimum 3 years of professional experience in mechanical / precision engineering, ideally with a focus on opto-mechanical design
• Strong hands-on mentality: practical experience in building, aligning and testing prototypes; experience in metalworking is an advantage
• Solid understanding of precision fits, tolerance stack-ups and the thermal behavior of optical assemblies
• Proficient with 3D CAD software Creo and/or SolidWorks and the associated databases Intralink or SolidWorks PDM / Enovia
• Experience with FEM / tolerance analyses and a systematic, solution-oriented and pragmatic way of working
• Fluent in English (written and spoken); German is an advantage
• Occasional domestic and international travel, including to the United States, may be required as part of this role
