Mechatronic System Engineer Optomechanical

Mechatronic System Engineer Optomechanical

Are you an engineer or researcher with optical experience and looking to apply your knowledge and skills in a diverse range of projects? Then you are the new colleague we’re looking for!

About Demcon

Demcon high-tech systems is a multidisciplinary development and engineering partner for mechatronic challenges, from concept to realization, in the field of high-tech systems.

What are you going to do?

As one of our systems engineers you use your technical insight and experience to lay the groundwork for the architecture and system breakdown within your project. You have a direct line with the customer and the project team to come up with the system requirements. You are responsible for the identification, definition and management of requirements along with defining verification methods. You can gauge the impact of requirements on each other and on deliverables. This is where your conceptual and analytic skills come to the fore.

During the entire development process you keep track of the technical risks and design progress of your work. When design decisions need to be made, you are one of the principal players and guide the discussion, e.g. by means of trade-offs. Furthermore you support less experienced engineers in your team in a coaching role.

In the detailed design and assembly and test phase, you dive into the details and work closely together with the rest of the team to achieve a system which can be built and verified. At the conclusion of verification testing you make sure all requirements are satisfied, and if not, take steps for mitigation.

The projects you will be working on range from products in the semiconductor industry to systems in the quantum and space fields.

You will be working in multidisciplinary teams, with external development partners and in regular consultation with customers. Communication and cooperation are therefore vitally important to achieve the results we strive for.

What do you bring to the table?

• Completed an MSc or PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Material Science, or similar.
• You have a minimum 5 years of experience working in a multidisciplinary and high-tech context, preferably in a systems engineering role.
• You can work independently, shoulder big responsibilities and have communication skills to explain your work to others.
• Experience with Jama, or similar requirements management software, is an advantage.
• Experience with optics or optomechatronics is an advantage.
