Mechanical Design Engineer

• Engineering - Mechanical Engineering
• Zug
• Contracting
• Full-time
• Fluidics, mechanical engineering

Tasks & Responsibilities:

• Concept assessment and parameter determination: You analyze and assess new technologies and test them. Using your fluidic and physical expertise, you define various parameter settings and verify them so that the pipetting performance of the specific application can be achieved.
• Liquid Handling solution development: You support the technical implementation of liquid handling solutions in the context of IVD product developments. Using your fluidic and physical expertise and Computational Fluid Dynamics, you support the design engineers in the development of components so that the design is optimized from a fluid technical perspective. You verify your simulations using experiments.
• Feasibility studies: You initiate, lead, and conduct feasibility studies in the area of liquid handling to meet technical requirements and minimize risks.
• Test stand development: You define the required test stands needed for the feasibility studies and parameter determinations. In cooperation with the mechanics and electronics design engineers and the software engineers, you commission the test stands and program the required software processes.

Must Haves:

• Completed studies, Bachelor or Master of Science in mechanical engineering in the field of fluid dynamics
• 1-3 years of experience with CFD software and techniques to simulate complex fluidic flows, including grid generation, simulation, and post-processing
• Great analytical skills and an independent and structured approach to analyze and solve complex problems
• Enjoyment of experimental fluid dynamics and like working hands-on on test setups to confirm theories and verify the performance of the setups
• Ability to program complex test processes in Python and C# and use modern AI tools such as Gemini or Claude Code to develop efficient solutions
• You want to work in international, cross-functional teams and exchange ideas with other experts
• Very good written and oral communication in German and English.
