Mechanical engineer

Can you turn concepts into smart, robust designs and bring them all the way to realization? Do you combine strong analytical skills with a keen eye for manufacturability, maintenance, forces, and structural integrity? Are you eager to apply your mechanical engineering expertise to develop advanced, high-tech systems for defense applications, working in multidisciplinary teams on complex, mission-critical challenges?

At Demcon, you work on innovative solutions that make a real impact. As a Mechanical Engineer, you are involved from concept development through to realization. You collaborate closely with colleagues from other disciplines such as system engineering, electronics, and software, translating functional requirements into well-considered mechanical designs.

About Demcon

Demcon defense & security systems collaborates with the Dutch ministry of defence on a number of themes: energy supply (electricity, heat, cooling) on large scale, such as for vehicles or bases, and on small (portable) scale; and autonomous systems, the development of technology for unmanned and (semi) autonomous systems.

What are you going to do?

As a Mechanical Engineer, you will develop mechanical concepts and design and engineer tools or systems in CAD, from concept phase through detailed design and technical product documentation (TPD). In addition, you will be involved in the realization, including working with suppliers, prototype builds, and verification testing. A significant part of your work will focus on high-power energy and cooling systems, for applications such as drone defense systems and hybrid vehicles. You will work in a multidisciplinary environment, collaborating closely with other mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, thermal specialists, and system architects to deliver well-integrated, high-performing systems.

What do you bring to the table?

• A completed bachelor’s or master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering;
• Affinity with machine building;
• Proficiency in 3D CAD (SolidWorks);
• Attention to detail and the drive to deliver complete system designs;
• Broad technical interest and the ability to actively engage with colleagues from other disciplines.

What do we offer you?

• 31 days off and 8% vacation allowance;
• A good pension plan at Zwitserleven;
• The opportunity to follow training and courses through the Demcon Academy so you can further develop your knowledge;
• A laptop and telephone from work;
• Bicycle plan;
• Active personnel association (monthly activities such as drinks and an annual Demcon weekend) and annual sporting events.
