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

Your mission

The position is responsible for the design, development, and testing of mechanical assemblies and mechatronic 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.

• Development and integration of mechatronic assemblies 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.
• 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 stable and reliable product operation.
• Support in the setup, 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 Engineering in project teams and collaboration with internal departments, external partners, suppliers, and contractors.
• Monitoring technological trends in mechanics and mechatronics, including evaluation of relevant competitive and technological solutions.
• 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 engineering or a related technical field, with relevant experience in research and development.
• At least 7 years of relevant professional experience in R&D of equipment and systems, preferably in the field of medical devices.
• Advanced knowledge in the design of mechanical and mechatronic systems.
• Experience in sensor technology, actuators, and control engineering.
• Proficient in CAD tools for mechanical design, preferably Pro/Engineer (Creo).
• Strong knowledge of manufacturing‑oriented design as well as production and manufacturing processes for mechanical and mechatronic assemblies.
• Experience in requirements management, systems engineering, and the creation of technical documentation.
• Practical experience in design transfer to production.
• 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.
• Knowledge of healthcare and medical device standards (FDA, ISO 13485, FDA 21 CFR 820.30, ISO 14971, IEC 62366, IEC 60601‑1).
• Knowledge of ERP systems (Infor Syte Line preferred).
• Knowledge of multiphysics simulation and FEM.
• Experience with CAD and PLM tools such as Creo (Pro/Engineer), Windchill, Solid Works, Inventor, and EPLAN.
• Experience with requirements management tools (e. g., Code Beamer) is desirable.
