Vacancy
As a Design Engineer at TILLEN, you play a crucial role in translating customer requirements into practical and technically feasible solutions. You start by creating a conceptual design, using precise calculations to ensure its viability. This phase lays the foundation for further development and is followed by the basic design phase, where you collaborate with Structural Engineers to bring the design to a more detailed level.
In the detail phase, you take the lead in guiding the CAD team. You provide them with essential technical information and guidelines, which they use to create detailed technical drawings. It is your responsibility to ensure that these drawings meet the highest standards and are thoroughly reviewed before release. Through your expertise and involvement, you ensure that each design not only meets the customer's requirements but also can be efficiently realized within the technical parameters and guidelines set by TILLEN.
You will be part of the Design team, which consists of two Senior Design Engineers, two Design Engineers, one Junior Design Engineer, one Senior Draftsman, one Junior Draftsman and one Team Lead.
If you enjoy bringing creative designs to life, are curious about how designs come to be, thrive on collaborating with various disciplines, and don't mind occasionally rushing for ad-hoc projects due to tight deadlines, then this is the job for you.
Working week
On a good working day, you have collaborated intensively with colleagues on designing innovative solutions. You have overcome complex technical challenges and made tangible progress in project development.
On a less enjoyable workday, you've spent considerable time on administrative tasks like preparing reports and managing budgets. Progress in projects was minimal due to unexpected technical complications.
