Descrizione dell'offerta
Job Title: Junior Design Engineer
About Varionova
Varionova is an innovative engineering company pioneering the development of next-generation transmission systems, including RatioZero and Crown Drive technologies. We collaborate with leading universities such as Politecnico di Milano and industry partners across mobility, robotics, industrial automation, and heavy-duty sectors. Our mission is to redefine power transmission efficiency through precision engineering, research, and hands-on prototyping.
Why This Role
We are scaling multiple projects in parallel and expanding our engineering capacity to support each major initiative with a dedicated design resource. As a Junior Design Engineer, you will play a crucial role in strengthening our internal engineering capabilities, accelerating design execution, and contributing directly to the development of cutting-edge mechanical systems.
What You’ll Do
- Support CAD design and modeling of transmission components and assemblies
- Participate in mechanical calculations, tolerance analyses, and design validation activities
- Collaborate with the CTO and senior engineers on prototype development and testing
- Draft technical drawings and contribute to engineering documentation
- Assist in prototype assembly, performance evaluation, and troubleshooting
- Contribute to design improvement sessions and R&D projects with academic partners
- Manage day-to-day design decisions within assigned components under senior guidance
Who We’re Looking For
Must-have:
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering
- Good proficiency in CAD tools (SolidWorks, CATIA, Creo or equivalent)
- Strong fundamentals in mechanical design and component analysis
- Basic understanding of transmission systems
- Passion for mechanical design and prototype-building
- Italian language mandatory, English proficiency required
Nice-to-have:
- Familiarity with MATLAB or basic simulation tools
- Project or thesis experience related to transmission systems, gears, or mechanical systems
- Internship or early professional experience in mechanical design environments
Soft Skills:
- Curiosity, humility, and a strong work ethic
- Team-oriented mindset with excellent collaboration skills
- Adaptability and a proactive approach to problem-solving
- Sense of ownership and accountability for outcomes
What We Offer
Compensation: Gross annual salary of €26,000 – €30,000, based on experience
Benefits: Mentorship from industry experts, exposure to deep-tech projects, and hands-on prototype development
Work Mode: Hybrid (approx. 2 days per week on-site)
Work Location: San Marino area (preferably living between Bologna and Pesaro)
Growth: Continuous technical learning, direct collaboration with the CTO, and potential to evolve toward Independent Design Engineer roles as experience grows
Call to Action
If you are passionate about mechanical systems and eager to build pioneering transmission technologies alongside a senior and supportive team, we’d love to meet you! Send your CV and join us in shaping the future of power transmission.
The selection process includes these steps: send your CV, complete a short technical test, and join a brief introductory call with our team.
