As a Design Engineer, you'll own mechanical design activities from product improvements and customer-specific designs to engineering changes and lifecycle support. You'll develop and execute lab test plans for verification, reliability, and failure analysis, testing both manually and through automated systems. You'll collaborate with global R&D, Manufacturing, Quality, Sourcing, and external suppliers to resolve product and production issues while driving localization projects that maintain performance and compliance. This is your chance to bring a hands-on engineering mindset to prototyping, concept validation, and product innovation. Join us and make a tangible impact on the next generation of valve controllers.\nYour responsibilities\nYou will design and develop valve controller products, including product improvements, customer-specific designs, engineering changes, and lifecycle support.\nDevelop, execute, and document laboratory test plans for product verification, reliability validation, and failure analysis; perform testing manually and through automated test systems, analyze results, and provide design recommendations.\nSupport local manufacturing, assembly, and supplier quality by investigating technical issues and implementing corrective actions.\nCreate and maintain technical documentation, including drawings, 3D models, BOMs, specifications, and product data, and participate in localization projects while ensuring product performance, reliability, and compliance requirements are maintained.\nCollaborate with global R&D, Manufacturing, Quality, Sourcing, and external suppliers to resolve product and production issues.\nExpectations for you\nYou hold a B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related discipline, with 3-5 years of experience in mechanical design and product development, ideally in a large global electronics or industrial technology organization.\nYou are proficient in 3D CAD tools (SolidWorks, Creo, NX, or equivalent) and have knowledge of GD&T, manufacturing processes, and product documentation.\nYou have experience with laboratory testing, validation, or reliability testing of industrial products, and a demonstrated hands-on engineering mindset in prototyping, concept validation, and product innovation.\nYou have strong problem-solving skills and experience supporting production and supplier-related issues, with strong English communication skills, both written and spoken.\nKnowledge of hydraulics/pneumatics or control technology is an asset; experience with pneumatics, actuators, valve automation, or industrial instrumentation is preferred, and familiarity with FEA and DFM principles is an advantage.\nTo succeed in this role\nYou will need to drive mechanical design and product development for valve controllers while ensuring lab testing and validation meet reliability and compliance standards. Your ability to collaborate across global R&D, Manufacturing, Quality, Sourcing, and external suppliers will be key to resolving production and product issues. A hands-on mindset for prototyping and concept validation, combined with strong English communication, will help you thrive in a global cross-functional environment.
