Research-Square is partnering with several leading high-tech organisations in the Netherlands. These companies operate at the forefront of innovation, developing advanced systems and precision equipment within complex multidisciplinary environments.
As a Mechanical Design Engineer, you will take ownership of mechanical modules, subsystems, or larger scopes within high-tech systems. You will translate requirements into robust concepts and detailed designs, working closely with architects, system designers, and engineering teams to deliver high-performance solutions.
This role requires a strong combination of technical depth, system understanding, and ownership, with a focus on delivering first-time-right designs that balance performance, manufacturability, and reliability.
We're hiring Mechanical Design Engineers to:
- Translate specifications into well-founded mechanical concepts and detailed designs
- Take ownership of mechanical modules or subsystems within complex systems
- Perform advanced engineering analyses (tolerance analysis, strength, stiffness, FEM)
- Develop and detail 3D models, drawings, and technical documentation
- Make substantiated design decisions considering manufacturability, cost, and performance
- Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams and stakeholders
- Contribute to system integration, testing, and validation
- Identify technical risks and drive effective solutions
- Guide and support junior engineers and designers
- For more senior profiles:
- Lead technical work packages or mechanical design scopes
- Act as a technical sparring partner to system architects
- Contribute to system-level design and architecture decisions
- Take a leading role in mentoring and coaching
We're looking for someone experienced with as much of the following as possible:
- Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field (BSc/MSc/PhD)
- 5+ years (medior) to 10+ years (senior) experience in high-tech or precision engineering
- Experience in industries such as semiconductors, high-tech equipment, aerospace, automotive, medical devices, or robotics
- Proven experience working on complex mechanical or mechatronic systems (not just individual components)
- Strong analytical skills and experience with engineering calculations and FEM
- Proven experience with tolerance analysis and precision design
- Experience working in a multidisciplinary development environment
- Knowledge of precision mechanics and high-accuracy design principles
- Experience with CAD tools and complex 3D design
- Strong knowledge of Design for Excellence (DfX)
- Ability to take ownership and work independently
- Strong communication skills and stakeholder alignment
What we provide
- Full relocation support to help you (and your family) move smoothly to the Netherlands.
- Permanent contract offering long-term stability.
- Housing support to assist in finding suitable accommodation.
