Designer as Design Engineer – Industrialization, Tolerance Management & Technical Product Documentation h* (80 - 100%)

Ad ID: 03721

As a Design Engineer, you combine development, industrialization, and quality. You ensure that assemblies and individual parts are unambiguously described functionally, designed robustly, and cleanly documented. You work in a technically oriented, interdisciplinary environment with short technical paths and the highest demands for precision.

Tasks

• You check and optimize assemblies and individual parts regarding function, tolerances, and manufacturability.
• You create and assess geometric product specifications as well as technical product documentation according to current standards.
• You perform tolerance calculations and analyze chain reactions, interfaces, and functional dependencies.
• You release drawings and technical specifications regarding tolerance concepts, design quality, and conformity with internal and external standards.
• You advise development and quality on questions regarding geometric product specification, technical product documentation, drawing standards, and tolerance management.
• You support corrective and preventive quality assurance measures, especially tolerance and root-cause analyses, red corrections, First Article Inspections (FAI), and the processing of Non-Conformance Reports (NCR) in technical deviation management.
• You improve methods and standards for robust designs and efficient industrialization.

Skills

• Completed basic technical training as a designer or in a comparable profession.
• Proven and sound professional experience in at least one of the following disciplines: tolerance management with analyses, calculations, and verifications; robust design with interface and CAD model analyses; drawing standards with a focus on geometric product specification and technical product documentation.
• Ideally, further training in tolerance management and current drawing standards.
• Confident handling of CAD and PLM systems; ERP knowledge is an advantage.
• Knowledge of quality assurance methods and principles according to ISO 9001 as well as in structured root-cause analyses is an advantage.
• Analytical mindset, high accuracy, and a clear eye for functional relationships.
• Strong communication skills at technical interfaces and reliable cooperation with various specialist departments.
• German at level C1; English at level B2 is an advantage.
• Existing security clearance Ü1/Ü2 or willingness to undergo one.
• A completed higher vocational education HF or a degree in mechanical engineering, mechatronics, or a comparable technical field is an advantage, but not a requirement.

Benefits

• Technically demanding key role with visible influence on product quality and industrialization.
• High professional creative freedom in tolerance concepts, specifications, and design standards.
• Direct cooperation with development, quality, and other technical specialist departments.
• Work with professional CAD and PLM systems as well as clearly defined quality processes.
• Targeted professional further training in standards, tolerance management, and technical methods.
• Structured onboarding and the opportunity to expand specialist responsibility in standards and tolerance management.
• Flexible workload between 80 and 100%.

A good designer draws components – a very good one prevents them from being constantly discussed later.

You think in functions, tolerances, and clear technical relationships and want to use your experience where clean design tangibly counts.

Then we look forward to your application and to learning more about your professional background. If you design tolerances in such a way that they don't even become a permanent topic in everyday life, we want to get to know your way of working.

Send your documents and show in your cover letter how you secure robust series solutions with clear specifications, clean application of standards, and technical judgment.
