  • Translate requirements into mechanical and mechatronic concepts and designs within a multidisciplinary system context.
  • Perform detailed calculations and analyses, including strength and stiffness evaluations, design optimizations, and use of FEM software.
  • Create Work Breakdown Structures (WBS) with accurate time and complexity estimates and take ownership of executing technical work packages.
  • Lead your own multidisciplinary team of designers and engineers, organizing and delegating tasks to ensure project completion.
  • Identify potential technical risks early and propose effective mitigation strategies.
  • Actively promote and implement synergy between different engineering disciplines within the project.
  • Take ownership of broader and more complex scopes and challenges within the mechanical domain, including stakeholder management, technical leadership of a larger team, and topics such as competence development.
