- 3D CAD design, tolerances/stack-ups, material selection, and design for manufacturability (DFM/DFA).
- Preparing and managing mechanical documentation: drawings, bills of materials, specifications, and supporting documentation.
- Building and overseeing prototypes, testing/iterating, and resolving technical issues.
- Coordinate with suppliers/partners regarding manufacturing processes, components, and quality.
- Supporting project teams and clients with technical issues and design decisions.
- Contribute ideas on process improvements, tooling, and best practices within the R&D department.
- (Lead role): taking ownership of content, leading design reviews, and coaching colleagues (without this necessarily being a hierarchical role).

- Experience with mechanical design in product development:
- medior: 3 years of relevant experience
- senior/lead: extensive experience (e.g. 7+ years) with technical ownership in projects
- Experience with 3D CAD and technical product documentation (drawings/BOMs).
- Knowledge of manufacturing processes (e.g., plastics, sheet metal, machining, assembly) and the ability to translate this knowledge into design decisions.
- You work in a structured manner, communicate clearly, and take ownership.
- Experience working in a regulated development environment (ISO 13485 is a plus).
- Strong communication skills in Dutch (a major plus) and English.
Even if you don’t meet all the requirements yet, but you have the fundamentals and the drive to keep growing: please apply.
In return, you'll get
- A competitive salary based on your education and work experience
