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.
