Mechatronic engineer – medical laser (m/f/d)

Your mission

The position is responsible for the design, development, and testing of mechanical assemblies and mechatronic components for medical laser systems. The role is closely integrated with the Research department and serves as a key interface between research and product development, ensuring the efficient transfer of new technologies and concepts into market-ready solutions. In this capacity, the position collaborates closely with all relevant disciplines, particularly Research, as well as Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Software Engineering, Quality Engineering, Regulatory Affairs, and Quality Management.

The primary focus is on developing innovative and technically advanced solutions that meet both customer requirements and regulatory standards, particularly with respect to safety and efficacy. Through close collaboration with Research, emerging technologies are evaluated at an early stage, prototyped, and integrated into product development.

The outcomes of this work contribute significantly to the technological competitiveness and commercial success of Dornier MedTech GmbH and its subsidiaries. Solutions are developed and implemented in a cost- and time-efficient manner through close cooperation across departments and organizational boundaries.

• Development and integration of mechatronic assemblies for complex medical laser systems.
• Definition of technical requirements, specifications, and concepts for functional and mechanical safety.
• Design and documentation of components and assemblies using 3D models, technical drawings, and manufacturing documentation.
• Creation of technical and quality-related documentation (e.g., specifications, risk analyses, test and verification reports) in compliance with international regulatory requirements (CE, FDA, MHLW).
• Planning, execution, evaluation, and documentation of verification and system tests
• Analysis and implementation of cost optimization measures while maintaining quality, safety, and performance
• Maintenance of bills of materials (BOMs) and support of product lifecycle management to ensure stable and reliable product operation
