Senior Mechanical Engineer I

Kurz zusammengefasst

Axon is a company dedicated to protecting life through innovative safety and justice solutions. They develop an ecosystem of devices and cloud software to address critical societal issues. The Senior Mechanical Engineer I role involves taking technical ownership of mechanical systems and assemblies, from early concept through production. This includes designing durable solutions for various systems, applying structural and thermal simulations, and collaborating with other engineering teams. The main day-to-day responsibilities include developing mechanical systems and subsystems, designing housings and structures, and applying simulations to guide design decisions. The role also involves prototyping, testing, and iterative design improvements, as well as solving real-world hardware problems. Collaboration with electrical, RF, and systems engineers on mechanical-electrical integration and with manufacturing partners on design for manufacturing (DFM/DFA) and production processes is also key. Additionally, the engineer will support qualification activities, participate in design reviews, and act as a technical mentor. To qualify for this role, candidates must have a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field, several years of experience in mechanical design and system integration for complex hardware products, and a strong background in mechanical design for harsh or regulated environments. Proficiency with structural and thermal simulation tools, CAD tools, and production-ready technical drawings is required. Hands-on skills, understanding of manufacturing processes, and a proven problem-solving mindset are also essential. Experience supporting knowledge sharing, reviews, or mentoring within an engineering team is a must. Nice-to-have skills include a clear communicator who enjoys ownership, collaboration, and technical depth. The role is based in Kassel, Germany, with a hybrid work schedule that requires onsite presence from Tuesday to Friday, with the flexibility to work remotely on Mondays. The team values in-person collaboration and fosters a culture of mentorship and shared success. What the role asks for: - Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field. - Several years of experience in mechanical design and system integration for complex hardware products. - Strong background in mechanical design for harsh or regulated environments. - Experience with structural and thermal simulation tools (e.g. SolidWorks Simulation, Ansys, or comparable). - Proficiency with CAD tools (e.g. SolidWorks or equivalent) and production-ready technical drawings. - Strong hands-on skills and confidence working with workshop tools and prototypes. - Practical understanding of manufacturing processes and design for production. - Proven problem-solving mindset, comfortable debugging real hardware issues. - Experience supporting knowledge sharing, reviews, or mentoring within an engineering team.
