Mechanical Design Engineer – High-Tech Machines

Want to help build the next generation of smart machinery?

Are you a driven Mechanical Engineer with a passion for precision engineering, automation, and complex machine building? Do you want to leave your mark on innovative packaging and automation systems used worldwide? Then this challenge is tailored for you.

As a Mechanical Design Engineer, you play a key role from concept to realization. You will design advanced mechanical modules and mechatronic systems within a multidisciplinary team of electrical, software, and manufacturing experts.

What will you do?

• Design & Engineering: Develop and detail high-quality mechanical concepts, assemblies, and sub-systems using SolidWorks (3D/2D).
• Technical leadership in detail: Take responsibility for accurate calculations, simulations (FEA), and the correct application of GD&T.
• Data & Document Management: Manage technical BOMs, production drawings, and project documentation in Teamcenter (PLM).
• Multidisciplinary collaboration: Align designs closely with electrical & controls engineers to ensure seamlessly integrated solutions.
• Quality & Optimization: Design with a focus on manufacturability (DFM), cost efficiency, sustainability, and safety standards (CE, UL).

What do you bring?

• Education: Master’s or Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electromechanics, Mechatronics, or equivalent through experience.
• Experience: Proven experience in mechanical design and complex machine building.
• CAD/PLM Expertise: Excellent knowledge of SolidWorks and experience with Teamcenter. Knowledge of FEA simulations is a strong plus.
• Craftsmanship: Thorough understanding of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) and manufacturing techniques.
• Soft skills: An analytical mindset, keen eye for detail, autonomy, and a clear communication style in a multidisciplinary environment.
• Languages: Fluent in English (both written and spoken). Dutch is a major plus.

What do we offer you?

• An engaging role in challenging, high-tech R&D and engineering projects.
• Varied projects in R&D Engineering and Product Development.
• You will be part of the customer-focused innovation and development group Verhaert.
• A dynamic working environment where innovation, quality, and technical depth are central.
• An attractive salary package supplemented with fringe benefits and growth opportunities.
