Mechanical Engineer - Tooling & Equipment

Assignment Overview

The assignment is within Manufacturing Engineering and supports the industrialization of advanced High Voltage Battery Assembly systems for Battery Electric Vehicles.



The work is performed in a cross-functional engineering environment covering manufacturing processes, automated production equipment, product-to-process interfaces, quality assurance and supplier collaboration.



The consultant will lead mechanical development and assurance of production equipment, tooling, fixtures, nests, grippers and handling solutions used in automated High Voltage Battery Assembly. The focus is on robust mechanical design, equipment interfaces, supplier execution and production readiness.



Key Responsibilities

• Develop and review mechanical concepts for production stations, tooling, fixtures, nests, grippers and handling devices.

• Convert process, product, geometry, safety, maintainability and cycle-time needs into technical equipment requirements.

• Review supplier layouts, 3D concepts, detailed designs, calculations, drawings and interface definitions.

• Secure access, ergonomics, serviceability, changeover, error-proofing and replacement-part strategy.

• Coordinate mechanical interfaces with automation, robotics, controls, utilities, process equipment and facilities.

• Support RFQ, supplier selection, design reviews, manufacturing follow-up, buy-off, installation and commissioning.

• Drive mechanical risk assessments, tolerance reviews and technical issue resolution.

• Support equipment acceptance and handover with documented deviations and remaining actions.



Required Competencies

Automated production equipment and tooling development - 5+ years - Critical

Mechanical design review using 3D CAD and engineering drawings - 5+ years - Critical

Equipment supplier development from concept through commissioning - 3+ years - Critical

Machine safety, maintainability, ergonomics and tolerance engineering - 3+ years - High

High-volume automated manufacturing industrialization - 3+ years - High



Preferred Competencies

• High Voltage Battery Assembly equipment experience.

• Precision handling, joining fixtures, grippers, conveyors or pallet systems.

• CATIA, Teamcenter or equivalent CAD/PLM tools.

• CE conformity, machinery risk assessment and equipment acceptance.



Education

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a relevant engineering discipline, or equivalent demonstrated professional experience relevant to the assignment.



Experience Required

Senior-level industrialization experience in automotive, battery manufacturing, electrification or comparable high-volume automated production. The consultant should be able to work independently, own technical deliverables and collaborate effectively with engineering teams and equipment suppliers.



Deliverables

• Approved tooling and mechanical equipment concepts.

• Technical mechanical requirements and interface specification.

• Documented supplier design reviews and action tracking.

• Mechanical risk assessment and mitigation plan.

• Buy-off, installation and commissioning support documentation.

• Equipment acceptance and handover package.
