You will operate in a highly multidisciplinary environment, working closely with internal experts and leading high-tech customers. While your core strengths may lie in a specific domain, the exact scope will be shaped based on business needs and your profile. Your responsibilities are:
Analyze and structure system requirements to establish a clear and complete understanding of objectives and constraints
Define and own system-level architectures, translating requirements into robust, feasible concepts within cost, performance, and timeline boundaries
Decompose complex systems into manageable subsystems and define clear interfaces
Drive architectural trade-offs across disciplines (mechanical, optical, electrical, and software)
Collaborate closely with engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams throughout the development lifecycle
Proactively identify technical risks and define mitigation strategies
Act as a key technical interface towards customers and internal stakeholders, communicating concepts, progress, and key decisions
What we offer
Performance-based salary growth that rewards your results
33 vacation days per year, including public holidays
Flexible working hours
Time-for-time compensation when working extra hours
Strong focus on personal development, supported by a tailored growth and learning plan
Extensive career opportunities, with progression across a wide range of functions and projects
A young, entrepreneurial, and innovative company culture where initiative is encouraged
Free access to the company gym
Free lunch, dinner and healthy snacks available every day on-site
What you bring
BSc, BEng, MSc or PhD in Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics, Industrial Engineering, Physics, or equivalent
Broad system-level thinking with a strong technical foundation in mechatronics and/or imaging-related domains
Proven ability to define and drive complex system architectures in a multidisciplinary environment
Strong analytical skills, with the ability to quickly assess problems and identify root causes
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
Proactive, responsible, and capable of operating with a high degree of autonomy
Strategic mindset combined with a pragmatic, results-driven approach
Strong organizational and time management skills
Decisive and effective in balancing technical, commercial, and project constraints
