  • Contribute to the ongoing improvement of both the product and engineering processes.

  • Communicate with suppliers and external partners when needed to ensure technical alignment.

In addition, you have:

  • A completed HBO or WO degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.

  • At least 5 years of experience in a similar design engineering role.

  • Experience with CAD, FMEA, and FEM tools (depending on your specialty).

  • Preferably experience with compliance demonstration and/or certification.

  • A valid driver's license.
