Engineering mechanical engineering mechanical engineering

At Viventris, you'll work on developing high-quality, custom machine solutions for visual inspection, precision assembly, and advanced automation, among other areas. No two projects are alike: every customer request demands a unique technical approach. You'll operate in an environment where concept development, engineering, realization, and validation all take place under one roof. This allows you to see your designs directly translated into functioning machines and gives you demonstrable influence on performance, reliability, and innovation.

What will you do as a Senior Mechanical Engineer?

As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you are technically responsible for the development of complex mechanical systems and modules. You translate customer needs into robust, innovative, and manufacturable solutions and play a leading role within multidisciplinary project teams.

Our clients start with one question: “Is it possible for you to make this happen?”
You will ensure that the solution is realized in a technically feasible, reliable, and future-proof manner.

Your responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

  • Developing machine concepts and architectures for complex automation and assembly challenges;
  • Designing, calculating, and developing high-quality mechanical constructions, modules, and motion systems.;
  • Responsibility for detailed engineering and 3D CAD design (Inventor/Vault);
  • Making technical considerations in terms of accuracy, manufacturability, reliability, cost, and maintainability;
  • Function as a technical sparring partner for clients, vendors, and internal stakeholders;
  • Intensively collaborate with software, control, and electrical engineers within multidisciplinary projects;
  • Supervising assembly, validation, and commissioning.;
  • Initiating and implementing design improvements and standardizations to increase quality and efficiency.;
  • Coaching and supporting less experienced engineers within the team;
  • Contribute to the further development of engineering methodologies and technical knowledge within the organization.

What does Viventris offer you?

  • A permanent employment contract with a competitive salary and excellent secondary benefits;
  • 30 vacation days;
  • A vitality budget of €240 per year;
  • An attractive pension plan;
  • Working on technically challenging and innovative projects with a high degree of freedom and responsibility;
  • Short communication lines and direct influence on technical decision-making;
  • Room for personal and professional development;
  • An informal and engaged company culture with activities like barbecues, ski trips, cycling events, and team outings.;
  • An environment where initiative, entrepreneurship, and technical expertise are valued.

Who are you?

You are an experienced engineer with a strong technical foundation and a passion for developing innovative machine solutions. You combine analytical ability with pragmatism and know how to translate complex technical issues into achievable designs. In addition, you naturally take ownership, work in a structured manner, and actively contribute to the team's technical growth.

In addition, you possess:

  • A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or equivalent;
  • Several years of experience in mechanical engineering, automation, or special machine development;
  • Extensive experience with 3D CAD systems, preferably Inventor and Vault;
  • Experience in designing precision systems.;
  • Knowledge of production techniques, tolerance chains, and Design for Manufacturing (DfM);
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to clearly justify technical choices.;
  • A proactive, structured, and solution-oriented approach;
  • The ambition to take technical responsibility and provide substantive support to colleagues.

At Viventris, you get the opportunity to transform complex technical challenges into innovative machines that are actually built and deployed. From the initial concept to the working installation: your expertise makes the difference.
