Mechanical Engineer Systemflex

Are you a creative Mechanical Engineer who enjoys designing, developing, and maintaining innovative machines and production systems?

Shape the Future of Poultry Processing Technology

JBT Marel is looking for a Mechanical Engineer System Flex within the Poultry – Sustainment Engineering team, focused on poultry innovation. If you are passionate about machine building, configurable product platforms, and engineering smart solutions for the food processing industry, this role offers the opportunity to contribute across the full product lifecycle.

About the Role
As Mechanical Engineer System Flex, you will develop and maintain design solutions that enhance the performance, robustness, cost-effectiveness, and scalability of our conveyor and transport systems. You will collaborate closely with colleagues from Innovation, Product Management, Supply Chain, Sales Engineering, Manufacturing, and Service. Acting as a technical focal point within multidisciplinary teams, you will ensure products meet customer requirements while maintaining high standards for hygiene, reliability, safety, maintainability, and manufacturing efficiency.

In addition, you will contribute to standardization, automation, and continuous improvement initiatives, supporting the evolution of our configurable product platforms and digital engineering capabilities.

You will become part of the System Flex team, responsible for configurable conveyor and transport systems used throughout the poultry processing industry. Working in a highly digitalized and model-based engineering environment, you will support New Product Development (NPD), product sustainment, maintenance activities, and customer order execution. Through Configure-To-Order (CTO) methodologies and standardized product platforms, you will help deliver customer-specific solutions while maximizing reusability and engineering efficiency.

Do you want to contribute throughout the entire product lifecycle, from new product development to sustainment and continuous improvement?
