Mechanical Engineer (BSc/MSc)

Location: Malvern Panalytical Almelo

Do you want to play an important role in complex instrumentation development? Are you looking for a diverse position in which you can apply your expertise to its full extent and increase your knowledge even further? And do you want to do this within a high tech international, but friendly very personal environment? Then this might be your chance to become a part of our ambitious XRD Floor Standing team!

What are your responsibilities?
Are you an enthusiastic Mechanical Engineer and do you want to work on cutting‑edge technology? Do you enjoy designing complex, moving sub‑assemblies and contributing to the performance of high‑tech systems? Then this is the opportunity for you.

In this position, you will be responsible for the design, development, and improvement of mechanical modules within a high‑precision environment. You will be part of a cross‑functional team to translate functional requirements into robust mechanical solutions.

Part of your role involves supporting our manufacturing teams. You will investigate production issues, identify root causes, and implement effective engineering solutions to ensure smooth and efficient production processes.

What do you need to do to be successful in this role?

• Design, model, and detail mechanical (sub‑)assemblies.
• Perform analyses and calculations to validate your designs.
• Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and service teams.
• Support factory operations by resolving technical and production-related problems.
• Improve existing designs with a focus on performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
• Work within engineering processes using CAD and PDM systems.

What You Bring

• A completed Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.
• You can show experience in mechanical design preferable in product development.
• Experience with 3D CAD software (e.g., NX, SolidWorks).
• Familiarity with PDM/PLM systems (especially Siemens Teamcenter) is a strong advantage.
• Experience with FEM analysis is a plus.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills.
• Affinity with precision mechanics and motion‑based systems.
• A proactive, hands‑on mindset and ability to work in a dynamic technical environment.
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach.
