Mechanical Engineer / Precision Mechanics, Valkenswaard

MECHANICAL ENGINEER - PRECISION MECHANICS - POINT-OF-CARE DIAGNOSTICS&ADVANCED WEARABLES About Us At 2M Engineering, we are dedicated to advancing healthcare and human performance through cutting‑edge sensor technology. Our multidisciplinary team develops point‑of‑care diagnostic devices and advanced wearable sensor platforms for medical, sports and research applications. We are looking for a Mechanical Engineer at the start of their career, with a strong foundation in precision mechanics and advanced construction principles, ready to grow alongside our senior engineers in real product development.

Your Role As a Mechanical Engineer, you will contribute to the design, analysis and optimization of mechanical and mechatronic systems for our diagnostic devices and wearable platforms. You will work closely with senior engineers, R&D, electronics and software teams to develop high‑precision, reliable and manufacturable solutions that meet stringent medical and product standards. Your hands‑on mechanical skills,

SolidWorks

expertise and willingness to learn will be central to your growth in this role.

Key Responsibilities

Contribute to the mechanical design of precision instruments and wearable devices, under the guidance of senior engineers.

Perform simulations (FEA, thermal, structural, kinematic) to validate and refine designs.

Apply solid construction principles to create robust, manufacturable mechanical assemblies.

Collaborate with electrical and software engineers as part of multidisciplinary project teams.

Maintain design documentation and version control using

SolidWorks

and

PDM .

Build, test and iterate on prototypes— hands‑on work in the lab and workshop is part of the role.

Support compliance with medical device regulations and industry standards.

Your Profile

BSc or MSc in Mechanical Engineering, Precision Engineering, Mechatronics, or a closely related mechanics‑focused field. We are specifically looking for a true mechanical engineer — broad multidisciplinary programs such as biomedical or general engineering are less likely to be the right fit for this role.

Strong motivation to learn, grow, and take on increasing responsibility. We value curiosity, ownership, and a hands‑on mindset highly; a motivated junior engineer with the right attitude can be an excellent fit.

3+ years of experience in mechanical or mechatronic design is preferred, but recent MSc graduates with strong relevant internships, thesis work, or demonstrable hands‑on project experience are warmly encouraged to apply.

Solid foundation in fine mechanics, precision engineering, and sound construction principles.

Strong experience with

SolidWorks ; familiarity with

PDM

is a plus.

Hands‑on experience with simulations such as FEA, structural, thermal, or motion analysis.

Good understanding of materials, tolerances, and manufacturing processes, including machining, sheet metal, and injection molding.

Affinity with regulated industries such as medical, aerospace, or high‑tech, or a clear willingness to learn.

Familiarity with optics or wearable form factors is a plus.

Strong problem‑solving skills and a genuine hands‑on approach to prototyping and testing.

Excellent communication and teamwork abilities, with the confidence to ask questions, learn from others, and contribute actively to the team.

What We Offer

A dynamic, high‑tech environment where engineering meets healthcare innovation.

The opportunity to work on cutting‑edge projects in point‑of‑care diagnostics and advanced wearables.

A collaborative team of experts in mechanics, optics, electronics, and software— the chance to learn directly from senior engineers.

Competitive salary and benefits package.

Clear professional growth path with development opportunities, training and increasing responsibility.
