Mechanical Engineer

At VSParticle we are passionate about innovation in nanotechnology for meaningful purposes. From our office in Delft, the Netherlands, we designed and developed a portfolio of Nanoparticle Generation and -Printing systems. Our current systems are research tools, allowing university researchers and R&D teams across the world to create new materials 10 times faster as with conventional systems! These new material combinations form the basis of revolutionary solutions for highly relevant applications, such as green hydrogen production and sensors for air quality measurements.

The goal of VSP goes beyond the research market and we are scaling the technology to move towards development and production tools for industrial customers. Therefore, we are in the concept design phase of a fully automated nanomaterial printing system. As Mechanical Engineer you are responsible for the design, development and testing of mechanical subsystems in various stages of development, from feasibility to industrialisation.

What will you be doing?

· Design of mechanical parts, assemblies and modules.

· Take ownership of the development process of certain modules, ensuring performance, manufacturability and cost-effectiveness.

· Perform engineering calculations to size and validate the designs.

· Collaborate with suppliers and manufacturers to select components and ensure production feasibility.

· Integration and testing of your designs in the lab.

· Create and maintain technical documentation, including 2D and 3D drawings, BOMs, specifications, design descriptions and test reports.

· Technical coordination and interaction with external partners.

· Work in a multidisciplinary project team and act as (technical) sparring partner to colleagues.

What do we require from you?

· A degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.

· 3+ years of experience in mechanical end-to-end system development for industrial, high-tech applications.

· Experience with precision mechanics or mechatronics is preferred.

· Knowledge of and experience with flow dynamics, systems control, and/or print technology is a plus.

· Hands-on mindset, comfortable with assembly, testing and troubleshooting in a lab or workshop environment.

· Experience with CAD software, such as NX, SolidWorks or Inventor.

· Strong problem solving skills and a good grasp of the iterative design process.

· Motivated to contribute towards providing solutions for some of the world’s biggest challenges.
