As an engineer you are responsible for the mechanical design, implementation, test, and documentation efforts necessary to support the development of mechanical modules and components for use in Grooming and Beauty appliances.
You will implement new concepts into products that will deliver value for our customers when removing hair from the head, face and body. Together with an on-site team and/or our offshore development partners, you design, verify and validate the mechanical construction of an appliance and detail the parts in 3D and 2D towards final technical product specification.
Responsibilities:
- You will lead in the design and testing of products by carrying out the following tasks:
- · Design and detail mechanical components and systems according product requirements, including conducting predictive analysis and calculations.
- Select materials (metal and plastics) and processes appropriate for those designs.
- Detail 3D and 2D files incorporating Design for (mass) Manufacturing and Design for Assembly requirements.
- Manage product requirements, lead DFMEA’s and follow the v-model methodology.
- Obtain parts and create prototypes.
- Lead ideations sessions, drive concept creation and decision making.
- Depending on team role, keep oversight of the complete appliance development.
- Write test protocols, conduct tests, analyze data, and report results.
- Develop new test methods and tools as necessary in close collaboration with the T&V architects and engineers.
- Identify gaps and implement improvements to bring the mechanical engineering group to a higher level.
- Capture and re-use existing knowledge and share your learnings.
- Document your choices and proof in a Design History File (evidence document).
- Archiving design files in Windchill.
Your Profile:
- A bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, with minimum 3 - 5 years of experience in the field of mechanical product development for mass production;
- Familiar with state-of-the-art development techniques and skilled in 3D CAD (Siemens NX and/or CREO);
- Knowledge of the design of mechanical constructions in plastic and/or metal and you are familiar with the mass manufacturability aspects (mould / assembly tooling design);
- Eperience with CFD analysis, FEA (Ansys), and/or other analytical software programs;
- Working knowledge of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing;
- Quality driven. Experience with Design for Six Sigma (i.e. being greenbelt certified) is a plus;
- Experience in the design and development of medical devices or the medical device industry is considered a plus.
