Senior Mechanical Engineer

ZEISS’ history in Greater China dates to 1957. ZEISS is represented across Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology, Industrial Quality & Research, Medical Technology and Consumer Markets. We are looking for a talented professional to join MED Innovation Hub China and help develop robust, reliable solutions for advanced medical technology.

Your Role

You will develop and optimize mechanical and opto-mechanical solutions for surgical microscopy systems. You will work with electronics, optics, software, systems engineering and Operations to deliver robust, manufacturable and reliable designs that meet performance, safety and regulatory targets.

• Design high-precision opto-mechanical structures, motion-transmission systems and ergonomic product solutions.
• Translate system needs into component requirements, concepts, detailed designs and verification plans.
• Perform engineering analyses such as tolerance, strength, thermal, space-envelope and risk assessments.
• Create 3D models, 2D drawings, bills of material and complete design documentation.
• Coordinate prototypes, support assembly and testing, and resolve technical issues through structured root-cause analysis.
• Plan and execute component verification and support system-level validation and regulatory activities.
• Collaborate with suppliers, sourcing, manufacturing and Operations on design transfer, production launch and sustaining.

Your Experience

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in mechanical engineering, precision instrument engineering, opto-mechanical engineering or a closely related field.
• Minimum 6 years of mechanical design experience in precision equipment, opto-mechanics, medical devices or a related field.
• Proficiency in 3D CAD and engineering drawing, with practical experience in tolerance and mechanical analysis.
• Hands-on experience with prototyping, verification and manufacturing transfer.
• Strong problem-solving, ownership and cross-functional communication skills.

It would be desirable if you had

• Experience with surgical microscopes, precision motion systems or ergonomic product design.
• Knowledge of simulation tools, design for manufacture and supplier development.
• Experience in regulated medical-device development and sustaining engineering.

Your Benefits

• Work in a collaborative, international environment with experts across engineering disciplines.
• Take on varied technical responsibilities and contribute across the product lifecycle.
• Access learning and development opportunities supported by experienced colleagues.
• Use modern engineering tools and equipment to turn ideas into reliable products.
