Design Engineer

Job Description

• Lead the end-to-end design and development of complex mechanical components and assemblies, from concept to series production.
• Apply critical and design thinking to generate, evaluate, and optimize robust solutions with a holistic system perspective.
• Drive 3D modeling, tolerance stack-ups, and advanced calculations (stress, thermal, durability), ensuring manufacturability, cost-effectiveness, and compliance with standards.
• Own the lifecycle management of designs—from requirements and prototyping to validation, production, and continuous improvement.
• Manage supplier technical alignment—from feasibility studies to design validation—balancing performance, cost, and quality.
• Apply and champion quality and risk management tools (DFMEA, DRBFM, 8D, FTA) to prevent issues and ensure design robustness.
• Prepare and maintain technical documentation, including specifications, special characteristics, and justification reports.
• Provide design leadership—guiding stakeholders, inspiring colleagues, and enabling team members to contribute effectively to collective success.
• Contribute to design discussions with system-level insights and a forward-looking, innovation-driven mindset.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (or a related field).
• 5+ years of proven experience in the design and development of parts and assemblies for series production (preferably in HVAC).
• Expertise in modern manufacturing methods (plastics, die casting, machining, and sealing technologies).
• Strong command of GD&T, material selection, tolerance analysis, and lifecycle management practices.
• Advanced skills in CAD/PLM systems (UG NX, Teamcenter, SAP) and familiarity with CAE tools (FEA, CFD).
• Demonstrated ability to apply critical thinking, design thinking, and holistic problem-solving to complex engineering projects.
• Experience in supplier management, cross-functional collaboration, and technical negotiations.
• Strong leadership, communication, and decision-making skills with a global team mindset.
• Fluent in English (spoken and written).
