This means you don't just design products on screen—you see your ideas become reality in some of the world's most exciting projects. To strengthen our team, we are looking for Design Engineers (m/f/d) at different experience levels, from junior to experienced engineers.

As a Design Engineer, you will be involved throughout the complete development process—from the first customer concept to the final installed product. Designing and developing bespoke lighting products, including crystal chandeliers, decorative luminaires, ceiling fixtures, pendant lights, wall fixtures, floor lamps, table lamps, and integrated lighting systems. Developing technically sound, innovative, and cost-effective mechanical solutions while balancing performance, manufacturability, assembly, installation, serviceability, and project budgets. Creating 2D and 3D CAD models, assemblies, and detailed production drawings using SolidWorks and AutoCAD. Participating in rapid prototyping, design verification, testing, troubleshooting, and continuous product improvement. Collaborating with multidisciplinary teams on the integration of mechanical, electrical, and electronic systems into bespoke lighting products. Supporting the integration of lighting electronics, control systems, and electromechanical components where required. Working closely with project managers, production, procurement, suppliers, and installation teams to ensure successful project execution. Contributing technical solutions for customer-specific project requirements. Following projects throughout their entire lifecycle—from concept development and engineering through prototyping, production support, installation, commissioning, and final handover. Reporting directly to the Director of Design & Engineering while working within multidisciplinary project teams. You are curious, practical, and enjoy transforming creative concepts into manufacturable products. HTL, FH, Technical University, or equivalent education in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Industrial Design, Product Development, or a related technical discipline. Good knowledge of SolidWorks and AutoCAD. Professional working proficiency in English (German is considered an advantage). Valid EU work permit. Exciting international projects with world-renowned architects, designers, cruise ship builders, and luxury hospitality brands. Complete project ownership—from the initial concept through engineering, prototyping, production, installation, and commissioning. The opportunity to develop highly customized, one-of-a-kind products rather than repetitive catalogue designs. The opportunity to work with advanced engineering methods, including parametric design, rapid prototyping, and multidisciplinary product development. Opportunities for international travel to support installation, commissioning, and final handover of your own designs at prestigious project sites worldwide. A modern, friendly, and employee-focused working environment.
