Mechanical Engineer

Assignment(s) / Nature of the Job
For the Mechanical Engineering (ME) Group we are looking for an Engineer who will work on product development from concept to proven detailed construction in a multidisciplinary team.

Your challenge
As a Mechanical Engineer you drive concept creation and decision making and translate the chosen concept into an integrated mechanical construction. You design and validate the construction of a module of an appliance and further detail the parts in 3D and 2D towards final technical product Documentation.
You work on product development from concept to detailed design in a team consisting of mechanical engineers, function engineers, application research, process engineers, electronic engineers etc.


Your responsibilities
As a Mechanical Engineer in the ME Team you will be responsible for:
• Creating one or more alternatives for a module construction
• Driving concept creation and decision making.
• Module owner
• Proof that your construction fulfills the function(s) and requirements under all load cases (calculation, simulation, tolerance analysis, proto’s + testing)
• Detail 3D and 2D files incorporating Design for Manufacturing and Design for Assembly requirements and archiving in C PLM system (Windchill)
• Planning and realizing your own work and manage the interfaces with other modules/parts
• Re-use of existing knowledge (known concepts)
• Document your choices and proof in a Design History File (evidence document)

Your team:
You will be working in the Mechanical Engineering group, which is part of Development Male Grooming.
