- high tech, nanotechnology
Your Mission
- Translate optical layouts into precision 3D designs, including mounts, housings, alignment mechanisms, and structural components.
- Ensure all designs satisfy strict requirements for thermal stability, vibration performance, structural integrity, and tolerance analysis.
- Actively drive the assembly, alignment, testing, and troubleshooting of optomechanical subsystems to achieve system-level performance.
- Transition prototypes to production by applying DfM/DfA principles to improve reliability, repeatability, and assembly efficiency.
- Interface with optical, mechanical, electrical, and systems teams to guarantee seamless, coherent subsystem integration.
- Partner with external suppliers and manufacturing vendors to oversee component realization and resolve fabrication issues.
- Define testing strategies to validate designs, diagnose performance deviations, and implement corrective actions.
- Act as the organizational reference for optomechanical engineering, mentoring peers and promoting a ownership-driven, hands-on culture.
Your Qualifications
- MSc or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Optics, Mechatronics, or a related field.
- 10+ years of relevant industry experience (or 5+ years with a PhD in optomechanics).
- Proven hands-on experience designing, integrating, and implementing mechanical systems from optical layouts (e.g., Zemax, Code V).
- Proficient in 3D CAD tools (SolidWorks, NX, or Creo) for precision mechanical design.
- Solid understanding of optical alignment, tolerancing, error budgeting, thermal stability, and vibration mitigation.
- Pragmatic problem-solver with a hands-on willingness to work in lab and production environments.
- Strong cross-disciplinary communication skills; fluent in English (Dutch is a plus).
Why us?
- Work at the forefront of nanofabrication technology, contributing to innovations in research and industry.
- A collaborative and supportive team environment.
- Diverse personnel development measures and development prospects in a growing global organization
