Virtual validation: Take responsibility for (electro-)mechanical products from concept design through to production release using advanced simulation methods.
Mechanical analysis: Lead structural simulations with a focus on shock and vibration to ensure durability under vehicle road loads.
Thermal management: Provide technical leadership in the analysis and optimization of high-current/high-voltage devices, with a strong emphasis on thermal management solutions.
Standards compliance: Ensure product designs comply with automotive standards such as ISO 16750 (mechanical/thermal), LV 124, and UN 38.3.
Testing and correlation: Design and build test setups to validate simulation concepts and correlate virtual models with physical laboratory results.
Cross-functional leadership: Lead development efforts with electronics engineers to ensure assembly requirements are met, specifically regarding heat dissipation and PCB stress.

University degree in engineering, preferably in mechanical, electromechanical, or mechatronics engineering.
Minimum of 5 years’ experience in mechanical development and simulation, preferably with HV components and battery electronics. Strong preference for experience simulating plastic and glass-fiber reinforced plastic structures.
Proficiency in CAD and simulation tools (e.g., Ansys, Star-CCM+, FESAFE or similar) for field reliability and design analysis.
Familiarity with high-volume manufacturing processes (injection molding, stamping) and their impact on simulation accuracy. Knowledge of Moldflow simulations is desirable.
Experience with environmental, reliability, and safety requirements for automotive and industrial products.
Highly motivated, with a strong sense of ownership and excellent communication skills in English and German.
