Mechanical Lead

As Mechanical Lead, you will be the technical reference for mechanical design across our products, from concept to industrialisation and end of life.

You will be responsible for the technical quality and on-time delivery of the mechanical scope of your programs, while working closely with Hardware, Software, Integration, Production, Quality, Supply Chain and Product Management teams.

You will also lead a small team of mechanical engineers and designers, with people leadership representing no more than 20% of your role. The position is therefore primarily focused on hands-on technical leadership and engineering expertise.

You are looking for a role where you can remain technically hands-on while having a real impact on product architecture, engineering decisions and the development of a small team? This position could be the right opportunity for you.

Technical leadership & design

• Own the mechanical architecture and design of electronic equipment, including enclosures, chassis, assemblies and mechanical interfaces.
• Act as the internal expert on materials, manufacturing processes, thermal management, acoustics, vibration and EMC-related mechanical constraints.
• Make design choices balancing performance, cost, manufacturability, serviceability and time-to-market.
• Promote reusable mechanical platforms and Design for Manufacturing, Assembly and Test principles.
• Lead CAD development, including complex 3D designs and relevant simulation/analysis activities.
• Drive mechanical activities throughout the product development lifecycle, from concept and prototyping through qualification and production.
• Ensure appropriate design reviews, verification and configuration management.
• Work closely with suppliers and manufacturing partners on component development, tooling, qualification and production ramp-up.
• Ensure mechanical documentation, BOMs and production data are accurate and delivered on time.
• Resolve mechanical issues through structured root-cause analysis and corrective actions.

Delivery & team leadership

• Own the planning, quality, risks and delivery of the mechanical scope across assigned programs.
• Anticipate technical, cost, capacity and manufacturing risks and drive appropriate mitigation.
• Lead, mentor and develop a team of 2-3 mechanical engineers/designers.
• Foster knowledge sharing and continuous improvement within the mechanical domain.
• Contribute to the evolution of mechanical standards, processes, technologies and platforms.

We are looking for a senior mechanical engineer / technical lead with strong experience in the design and industrialization of electronic equipment.

Your technical background

• Bachelor or Master degree in mechanical engineering or equal.
  6+ years of experience in mechanical design and manufacturing mechanical, product development and engineering with an emphasis on drive mechanisms, gears, motors and precision electromechanical devices.
• Strong understanding of all aspects of new product development
  
  Proficient in computer-aided 3D & 2D parametric design in Solidworks Solid knowledge of materials, mechanical interfaces, thermal management, acoustics, vibration and EMC constraints
• Experience with performing tolerance analysis on complex assemblies
• Experience designing production parts using a wide range of manufacturing and finishing methods
• Experience performing DFM, DFA, Failure Analysis, and FFF issue resolution
  
  Understanding of ASME Y14.5 geometric dimensioning tolerancing drawing standards
• Able to act as a technical reference and mentor for other engineers.
• Experience leading or coordinating a small engineering team.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Pragmatic approach to balancing technical performance, cost, quality and time-to-market.
• Excellent communication…
