  • Ensure compliance with relevant standards, including Grundfos-specific standards, and maintain thorough documentation.
  • Leverage your expertise in injection molding plastic design and related processes to create innovative and effective solutions.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including Operations, specialists and Test Lab, to optimize production and verify components.
  • Support and develop team competencies, providing mentorship and fostering a culture of knowledge-sharing.
  • Perform hydraulic design and ensure the integration of HVAC-specific requirements into product development.
  • Engage with internal and external stakeholders to align on project deliverables and ensure timely, high-quality outcomes.

Your background

We imagine that you have:

  • A Master’s or Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering.
  • 8+ years of relevant experience in mechanical development, with a proven track record in injection molding plastic design and related processes.
  • Hands-on experience in system engineering, conceptualization, and OEM business practices.
  • Comprehensive HVAC and hydraulic design knowledge.
  • Proficiency in 2D/3D CAD tools and structural analysis (FEA simulations). We use Catia.
  • Strong planning, communication, and leadership skills, with a drive to mentor and develop your colleagues.
  • The ability to perform calculations and evaluate designs effectively.
  • Excellent communication skills in English, both written and spoken.

We welcome candidates from diverse backgrounds who bring a blend of technical expertise and an innovative, collaborative mindset.

 

What’s in it for you?

 

You’ll be instrumental in spreading our optimistic, can-do attitude to advance global innovation and a clear sense of purpose, embodying our six core values, guiding our colleagues in living them day by day, and making a difference in global projects. We support you in navigating your own career and development path, offering you tools to hone your leadership craft, both within your field and to broaden your interest or expertise in areas such as diversity & inclusion, coaching and culture.

 

In addition, your day-to-day benefits include:

  • Diverse, inclusive environment with employee-led forums offering colleagues a safe place to connect and share openly
  • We encourage you to be at the offices, where you can engage, learn, and have fun with colleagues. If you’ll be working from your home office, we’ll make sure you are well equipped with a good workstation
