The Role
As a mechanical design engineer part of the Radar Solutions product unit, you will participate in multidisciplinary teams to design and develop mechanical systems for complex radar and telecommunications products. You will support systems, electronic, software, and production engineers by providing mechanical design solutions in all phases of the product life cycle, from concept generation and planning to industrialisation and serial production.
Responsibilities
- Translate general system requirements into objective mechanical design constraints.
- Generate concepts, detailed designs, and analysis of mechanical systems.
- Perform basic structural and thermal calculation of mechanical systems and components.
- Produce design and manufacturing information - engineering drawings, engineering bill of materials, model-based definitions, design reports, testing procedures, etc.
- Participate in the integration and testing processes of prototypes or new subsystems and products.
- Assist in the selection and development of manufacturing suppliers in the region.
Your Profile
You have a natural interest in technology and engineering, with a desire to constantly develop yourself and the way you work. You work effectively in a team and can manage your own task independently, taking initiative, ownership, and accountability.
