Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

Responsibilities

• Execute product design activities, ensuring the design process and required technical reviews are followed (design, risk, manufacturability, supply chain).
• Develop and maintain 3D CAD models, 2D drawings, and technical documentation, and provide technical input to stakeholders.
• Perform engineering calculations, simulations (FEA / CFD), and tolerance analyses to support design decisions.
• Drive design‑for‑manufacturing (DFM) and design‑for‑assembly (DFA) solutions.
• Support prototype builds, testing, and validation to ensure performance and reliability.
• Ensure compliance with applicable technical regulations and standards.
• Support resolution of fleet issues and non‑conformities, implementing corrective actions and design improvements (lessons learned).
• Apply structured engineering methodologies such as FMEA and root cause analysis.
• Support manufacturing operations, audits, and certification activities when required.
• Contribute to workshops, technical meetings, and continuous improvement initiatives.

Requirements

• A Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering.
• 10+ years of hands‑on experience in mechanical design and product development/testing within an industrial environment.
• Strong background in mechanical design, structural analysis, and design‑for‑manufacturing.
• Solid experience with FEA / CFD tools (e.g. Ansys Structural / Thermal / CFX).
• Proficiency with PTC Creo and AutoCAD for 3D modeling and mechanical drawings.
• Experience applying DFM, FMEA, DoE, SPC, RCA, and risk analysis methods.
• Ability to work effectively in cross‑functional, multi‑disciplinary teams within a matrix organization.
• Fluency in Italian and English; French is a plus.
• EU passport and availability to travel internationally when required.
