Job Description

Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• Mechanical Design & Product Development: Engineers play a pivotal role in designing, developing, and optimizing laboratory instruments, spanning from basic renovations to complex automation assembly and high-pressure fluidic systems.
• Project Leadership: Assigned independent projects, with minimal upwards trajectory due to the flat structure, but with opportunities for technical leadership.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Works closely with PMs, electrical engineers, and regulatory teams to ensure seamless integration of mechanical systems.
• Technical Expertise: Heavy focus on mechanical design, though a fundamental understanding of electrical concepts is beneficial.
• CAD Proficiency: Creo (preferred), but any 3D CAD software experience is accepted.

Hiring Expectations & Candidate Profile

• 10+ years of experience, ideally with a track record of stability and hands-on engineering expertise.
• Ability to manage full product lifecycle—from concept to production—with a focus on safety, regulatory compliance (IEC 61010), and design for a global market.
• Must demonstrate passion for engineering and complex electromechanical technology rather than broader construction or industrial applications.

Work Environment & Culture

• Highly collaborative, low-ego culture, where engineers must be able to work well across teams and contribute ideas.
• Engineers "wear many hats", balancing both technical execution and strategic input into product design.
• Flexible schedule with at least one on-site collaboration day per week.
• Expanding manufacturing, R&D, and global team interactions (Germany and beyond).
