Mechanical engineer – medical laser (m/f/d)

Your mission

The position is responsible for the design, development, and testing of mechanical assemblies and components for medical laser systems.

The role is closely integrated with the Research department and serves as a key interface between research and product development, ensuring the efficient transfer of new technologies and concepts into market-ready solutions.

In this capacity, the position collaborates closely with all relevant disciplines, particularly Research, as well as Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Software Engineering, Quality Engineering, Regulatory Affairs, and Quality Management.

The primary focus is on developing innovative and technically advanced solutions that meet both customer requirements and regulatory standards, particularly with respect to safety and efficacy.

Through close collaboration with Research, emerging technologies are evaluated at an early stage, prototyped, and integrated into product development.

The outcomes of this work contribute significantly to the technological competitiveness and commercial success of Dornier Med Tech Gmb H and its subsidiaries.

Solutions are developed and implemented in a cost- and time-efficient manner through close cooperation across departments and organizational boundaries.

Responsibilities

• Development and integration of mechanical assemblies and components for complex medical laser systems.
• Definition of technical requirements, specifications, and concepts for functional and mechanical safety.
• Design and documentation of components and assemblies using 3D models, technical drawings, and manufacturing documentation.
• Creation of technical and quality-related documentation (e. g., specifications, risk analyses, test and verification reports) in compliance with international regulatory requirements (CE, FDA, MHLW).
• Planning, execution, evaluation, and documentation of verification and system tests of mechanical assemblies.
• Analysis and implementation of cost optimization measures while maintaining quality, safety, and performance.
• Maintenance of bills of materials (BOMs) and support of product lifecycle management to ensure reliable and sustainable product operation.
• Support the assembly, commissioning, and validation of prototypes and development systems.
• Coordination, structuring, and tracking of engineering-related tasks, as well as support of project management in planning activities.
• Representation of Mechanical Engineering in project teams and collaboration with internal departments, external partners, suppliers, and contractors.
• Monitoring technological trends in mechanical engineering, and manufacturing technologies, and evaluate relevant competitive and emerging technologies.
• Ensuring compliance with standards and regulations, system specifications, project objectives, cost targets, and internal development and design processes.
• Documentation and presentation of development results, ensuring compliance with relevant standards, regulatory requirements, system specifications, project goals, and development processes.

Your profile

• Completed degree in Mechanical Engineering, Design Engineering, Precision Engineering, or a comparable engineering discipline, combined with relevant experience in Research and Development.
• At least 7 years of relevant professional experience in R&D of technical equipment and systems, preferably in the field of medical devices.
• Advanced knowledge in the design of mechanical systems and assemblies.
• Proficient in CAD tools for mechanical design, preferably PTC Creo (formerly Pro/Engineer).
• Solid knowledge of Design for Manufacturing principles and manufacturing processes for mechanical components.
• Experience in material selection, tolerance analysis, strength calculations, and Design for Assembly.
• Experience with requirements management, systems engineering, and the creation of technical documentation.
• Practical experience in design transfer into manufacturing.
• Strong practical implementation skills with a hands-on mentality, a strong interest in technical problem-solving, and a careful, quality-conscious, and self-directed working style.
• High level of team orientation, creativity, communication skills, and personal initiative.
• Ability to clearly and effectively communicate complex technical topics.
• Capability to assess and evaluate technical interrelationships and system dependencies.
• Fluent in German and English.
