Organisation / Department

An American automotive company is expanding its engineering footprint across Europe, and we're looking for a talented and motivated Mechanical Design Engineer to join our satellite team. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge mechatronics and shape next-generation braking software from the ground up, all while working remotely with full flexibility. If you're eager to make your mark in a high-impact, innovation-driven environment and grow your expertise in automotive braking technology, we want to hear from you!

Job description

As a Mechanical Design Engineer, you'll play a key role in developing pneumatic and electro-pneumatic brake control valves for Medium and Heavy-Duty Commercial Vehicle EBS (Electronic Braking Systems). This includes components like ABS modulator valves, EBS modulator valves, foot brake valves, parking brake valves, and trailer control valves. Your responsibilities will include :

• Contributing to design activities for pneumatic and electro-pneumatic brake control valves.
• Supporting DFMEA and DVP&R activities , learning to identify potential failure modes and validate designs.
• Assisting the systems engineering group with air / mass-flow analysis.
• Collaborating closely with SW Controls and Systems engineering teams to ensure products meet required specifications.
• Developing your expertise in the exciting field of automotive braking systems.

Requirements

What We're Looking For :

• Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical, Mechatronics Engineering, or a related engineering field. A Master's degree is a plus!
• 2-4 years of professional experience in mechanical design, ideally within the automotive or a related industry.
• Familiarity with pneumatic braking systems used in Medium and Heavy-Duty Commercial Vehicles (ABS, EBS) is a strong advantage.
• Exposure to designing pneumatic and / or electro-pneumatic valves for braking controls (e.g., ABS and EBS modulators, foot pedal valves) is a plus.
• A basic understanding of braking system performance and its influence on vehicle dynamics behavior is beneficial.
• Any experience with braking systems vehicle testing activities on test tracks / proving grounds (ABS, ASR, ESC, etc.) or familiarity with vehicle network topology (CAN, LIN, Ethernet) and E&E architecture would be a bonus.
• Strong problem-solving skills and a proactive attitude.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a remote team environment.
