Mechanical Engineer – Design & Simulation (f/m/d)

About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential deep-tech organization at the forefront of advanced energy systems development. Our talent team is seeking a Mechanical Engineer specializing in design and simulation to join their engineering group in Darmstadt, Germany.

In this role, you will perform engineering analysis and simulation work across complex mechanical systems, providing the analytical foundation needed to make informed design decisions. You'll work on structural, thermal, dynamic, and fluid-system performance, helping validate designs before hardware commitment. Your contributions will span critical systems including vacuum chambers, precision integration structures, diagnostic assemblies, and specialized facility infrastructure.

Responsibilities

• Perform structural, mechanical, and thermal analysis using FEA tools such as ANSYS, Abaqus, COMSOL, or equivalent platforms
• Conduct fluid-system analysis and thermal modelling to support mechanical design decisions
• Assess vibration, stability, and dynamic behaviour of mechanical assemblies and identify potential design risks
• Validate simulation outputs against design requirements, engineering standards, and expected operating conditions
• Translate analysis results into practical design recommendations that improve performance, safety, manufacturability, and system compatibility
• Develop and maintain 3D CAD models and engineering drawings using Autodesk Inventor or similar tools
• Define and execute verification activities, prepare analysis reports, and provide simulation evidence for design reviews
• Collaborate with mechanical, systems, and project engineering teams to define interfaces, communicate results, and support multidisciplinary design decisions

What We're Looking For

Core Requirements:

• Proven experience performing structural, thermal, dynamic, and fluid-system analysis in a professional mechanical engineering environment
• Proficiency with FEA tools such as ANSYS, Abaqus, COMSOL, or equivalent, with demonstrated experience validating and documenting simulation results
• Experience with 3D CAD tools, preferably Autodesk Inventor, and ability to connect analysis outputs with practical mechanical design decisions
• Methodical approach to setting up analyses, checking assumptions, interpreting results, and documenting conclusions
• Ability to translate complex simulation outputs into clear, actionable engineering decisions
• Strong communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Detail-oriented mindset with commitment to applying sound engineering fundamentals and standards consistently

Valuable Additional Experience:

• Knowledge of CFD tools such as ANSYS Fluent or OpenFOAM
• Experience with vacuum or cryogenic mechanical systems
• Background in precision optical or laser integration systems
• Familiarity with design for manufacture and assembly (DFMA)
• Experience supporting prototype build and commissioning activities
• Verification planning and engineering documentation in experimental or multidisciplinary environments
