THE ROLEOthers come up with ideas. You make them work!
We are looking for a hands-on mechanical profile to join our team in Denmark and help turn ideas and existing concepts into robust, production-ready products. The focus of this role is not on long conceptual processes, but on execution, detailing, follow-through, and continuous improvement of physical products.This is for someone who enjoys detailed mechanical work and wants to take technical input and convert it into drawings, CAD, prototypes, and manufacturable solutions.
As part of the technical team, you will be responsible for turning concepts and technical input into detailed, production-ready mechanical solutions. Your work will be split between digital detailing and physical workshop tasks in three main areas:
CAD, DETAILING & DOCUMENTATION- Creating and maintaining 3D CAD models, assemblies, and technical drawings.
- Turning concepts, sketches, and internal input into detailed mechanical solutions.
- Maturing parts and assemblies from prototype stage to production-ready design.
- Preparing documentation for manufacturing, assembly, and internal handover.
- Maintaining BOMs, drawings, part structures, and revision control.
- Updating existing designs and ensuring technical documentation stays accurate.
- Building, modifying, and testing physical prototypes.
- Supporting DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and DFA (Design for Assembly).
- Adjusting and refining existing parts based on testing, feedback, and production needs.
- Following up on tolerances, fits, fastening methods, and general mechanical robustness.
- Implementing new machinery, tools, and technical processes within the R&D workshop.
- Sourcing components, standard parts, materials, and practical technical solutions.
- Communicating with suppliers in Danish and English regarding parts and technical clarifications.
- Supporting maintenance and improvement of current products and subassemblies.
