Are you passionate about designing innovative mechanical solutions? We're looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer to join our dynamic team in Hamburg. This is a hybrid role that allows you to combine to work from our office and from home.

Tasks

• Design mechanical components and assemblies, working both independently and alongside our talented team.
• Review and adapt 3D models and drawings to ensure they meet manufacturing requirements.
• Standardize and streamline mechanical designs by using third-party components, reducing part numbers, and cutting procurement and production costs.
• Perform structural analysis (single loads or external pressure) using FEA, with a focus on pressure housings and frames.
• Conduct fatigue analysis for cyclic loads, buoyancy and stability analysis for floating components, and hydrodynamic analysis (including drag force estimation).
• Carry out simplified calculations for O-ring sealing capacity, mooring tension, flanges, lifting eyes, and bolts, and ensure pressure equipment meets structural capacity ratings.
• Choose materials based on analysis results to optimize performance.
• Create detailed technical documentation, including reports, test procedures, assembly instructions, commissioning guides, and user manuals.
• Coordinate procurement, manufacturing, and assembly processes, working closely with customers and suppliers on mechanical design topics.
• Organize and lead qualification and factory acceptance tests, from planning to evaluation and documentation.
• Continuously improve standard business processes and document best practices in our internal wiki.

Requirements

• You’re proficient in MS Word and Excel.
• You are experienced in using SolidWorks or Catia CAD.

• Familiarity with FEA tools like Ansys or Abaqus is a plus.
• Experienced in using MathCad is a bonus.
• You’re a creative problem solver who thrives on finding innovative solutions.
• Excellent communication skills and a team-first mentality are key.
• You can handle pressure and stay focused on delivering results.
• You have a strong commercial awareness and understand the needs of users and markets.
