Relocation Jobs as System Engineer Mechanical

Mechanical System Engineer

Realising reliable systems and remaining involved with the process until the final product is ready: this is a golden opportunity for any Mechanical System Engineer. And it's possible at VDL ETG T&D, because here you’ll be part of the complete product life cycle of high-precision, vacuum and handling equipment. As a systems thinker with a strategic view, you will lead on the technical aspects of projects. And thanks to your ability to see the complete picture, and also to look beyond the boundaries of your own professional field, you're able to make your mark on complex systems. What are you waiting for?

Show us what you can do as a Mechanical System Engineer

You will sit down with the client and project manager to agree the functional specifications, and translate these into requirements for a reliable system design. Together with the project manager, you then prepare a technical plan, which you translate into a form suitable for your team of lead engineers. You represent the business at the forefront of the process, and remain involved with projects until the prototype is handed over to production. This involves working in close partnership with colleagues from other disciplines. Another important aspect of your role is the (technical) coaching of team members during projects. You're a source of knowledge that your colleagues can draw upon. Your daily activities will include:

• Defining concepts and making decisions for the concept to be developed.
• Assessing and mitigating technical risks using FEM analyses, or tests on prototypes.
• Leading the project team in technical matters.
• Reporting to the MT and client.
• Managing the relationship with the factory from a technical perspective, by discussing testing, qualification and transport tools for mass production.
• Handing over the prototype to production after delivery and approval.
• Contributing to the VDL ETG technology road map.
