is part of the international Technologies Group (7000 employees worldwide, 19 countries). We are the development partner for many OEM companies (automotive, healthcare and high-tech components & systems industry) and involved in highly strategic engineering projects. In the Netherlands we started our activities in 2010 and are located on the High Tech Campus.
We combine a professional and informal work atmosphere with a result oriented, driven way of working in which we are of added value to our customers. Our employees tend to have a hands-on, inquisitive and questioning attitude. People are central in our philosophy. The variety in projects, markets, customers and countries and the stimulus to innovate, cooperate and share knowledge creates the ideal flora and fauna for a breeding ground where top performers can develop.

As a Lead Mechanical Engineer you will be working on innovative projects in the High Tech and Automotive industry. On one hand, you will communicate directly with the customer on deliverables and specifications and, on the other hand, you will be responsible for coaching a team of junior engineers allocated to the project. Moreover, we expect you to have the ability to specify and design modules and/or functionality to realize required performance, using state of art design methods and construction principles. When needed you will ensure that prototypes are built and that the proper tests would be carry out.
In sum, you will be the linking-pin between (management and mechanical team) and the OEM client for technical, managerial and technical purposes. As a result, you will be working partly at the client side, partly at the office at the High Tech Campus.

• BSc or MSc degree in Mechanical Engineering/ Werktuigbouwkunde or equivalent;
• You have at least 5+ years of experience in Mechanical Design in the High Tech and/or Automotive branch;
• Excellent understanding of mechanical aspects like thermal stability, stiffness, lightweight design, forces, materials, shapes, precision engineering, production/ manufacturing technologies;
• Knowledge and experience with mechanical design tools: CATIA, Unigraphics and CAE tooling (e.g. Ansys);
• Previous experience with FMEA, DFA and DFM techniques is a pre;
• Experience leading a team is desirable.

Personal profile:
• You ask the right questions to gather all the necessary information and to finalize or complete a design;
