Senior Mechanical Engineer

Bij  Capgemini Engineering  werk je samen met een internationaal team van engineers, scientists en architects aan innovatieve R&D- en engineeringoplossingen. Binnen de hardwareafdeling in Eindhoven draag je bij aan high-tech mechanisch ontwerp in een toonaangevende OEM-omgeving, midden in het hart van Europa’s semiconductor- en high-tech industrie. Je werkt aan complexe mechanical design-opgaven die direct de producten van morgen vormgeven, met volop ruimte om eigenaarschap te nemen, standaarden te verhogen en door te groeien richting een Lead Engineer-rol.

Joining Capgemini's Hardware team
You will be joining a team of passionate engineers working at the cutting edge of high-tech mechanical design. Based in Eindhoven and embedded in a world-leading OEM environment, this role is suited to a driven, experienced engineer who is ready to take full ownership of their work and take the next step towards a Lead Engineer position.

Your role
As a  Senior Mechanical Design Engineer , you are responsible for delivering mechanical design solutions throughout the entire product lifecycle, from concept development and detailed design to release, implementation, and continuous product support.

Key responsibilities include:

Execute mechanical design activities based on project scope or backlog, translating requirements into practical engineering solutions.

Develop concept, preliminary, and detailed designs using CAD tools, preferably Siemens NX.

Perform feasibility studies and trade‑off analyses, and define mechanical components, tools, and systems while balancing functionality, manufacturability, safety, cost, and lead time.

Create and maintain 3D models, engineering drawings, bills of materials (BOMs), and Technical Product Documentation (TPD) for manufacturing, assembly, testing, transport, and maintenance.

Manage engineering data and implement design changes using PLM/PDM systems such as Teamcenter and SAP, ensuring traceability and adherence to change management processes.

Perform tolerance analyses (GD&T), mechanical calculations, risk assessments, and design verification activities.

Support products throughout the full lifecycle, from concept and realization to continuous improvement, ensuring technical quality and compliance with engineering standards.

Identify technical risks, dependencies, and interface issues, driving mitigation actions where required.

Lead and contribute to design reviews, technical discussions, and alignment sessions, while collaborating closely with Lead Engineers, Project Managers, suppliers, and multidisciplinary teams.

Review engineering work, provide constructive feedback, and support less experienced engineers through technical guidance and mentorship.

Facilitate knowledge sharing, contribute to improving engineering methods and team ways of working, and take ownership of specific technical topics or work packages.

Your profile
We are looking for a mechanically skilled, hands‑on, and proactive engineer who thrives in a dynamic high‑tech environment and enjoys taking ownership from concept through delivery. You are adaptable across different project types, reliable in execution, and capable of driving work independently while collaborating effectively with multidisciplinary teams.

Education & Experience
