About the role
- Support requirements capture and verification planning for assigned components.
- Produce and maintain CAD/installation artefacts, design justification and interface documentation.
- Handle mechanical subsystem design tasks (mechanical / CAD part of power electronics and electrical products, Busbar Definitions, routing, mounts, enclosures, sensor integration).
- Will handle high-voltage and high current constraints.
- Help prepare prototypes: assembly support, instrumentation, and basic commissioning tasks.
- Support test execution and data processing; document results and lessons learned.
- Track issues and actions from design reviews and test campaigns; keep evidence organized.
- Work with electrical, Battery and structures engineers to resolve design issues, interface clashes and integration constraints, optimize the designs.
- Support supplier interactions (data requests, documentation checks, follow-ups).
Requirements
- MSc in Mechatronics / Mechanical or similar.
- Experience in CAD design environment (CATIA)
- 0–3 years’ experience (or internships) in product development or hardware integration.
- Basic understanding of mechanical design and electrical integration constraints (clearances, routing, serviceability).
- Ability to produce clear interface documentation and keep changes controlled.
- Comfortable with hands-on prototype work and safe workshop/lab practices.
- Basic analysis skills (tolerances, simple loads, thermal awareness) and willingness to learn deeper methods.
- Ability to turn ambiguous inputs into a clear next step and ask for review early.
- Clear technical communication in short notes and drawings.
- Nice-to-have Experience with high-voltage systems integration (awareness level).
- Experience with harness routing constraints and installation design.
- Familiarity with simple FMEA thinking.
- Rapid prototyping mindset
