R&D Design Engineer

As an R&D Design Engineer on our international team, you will play a key role in the product

development of high-quality sanitary fittings. We are looking for an innovative and analytical engineer who

excels at transforming concepts into functional, cost-effective, and high-performance products. You will

take ownership of the design and dimensioning of components and assemblies, ensuring seamless

integration, technical feasibility, and alignment with project timelines.

Responsibilities

• Product Development: Lead and support the design and development of innovative components
  
  

and assemblies specifically for sanitary fittings.

• Design & Optimization: Execute the constructive design of parts while strictly considering
  
  

design aesthetics, functional requirements, cost efficiency, and installation/assembly constraints.

• Concept Generation: Develop innovative and creative concepts for new components and
  
  

assemblies to drive product evolution.

• Execute and maintain SAP master data, such as Engineering Change Management (ECM/ECN),
  
  

Material Master Data management, and Bill of Materials (BOM).

• Project Assurance: Ensure all designs are completed in a timely manner, meet all functional
  
  

specifications, and fit perfectly within the intended product architecture.

• Engineering Calculations: Perform manual or tool-assisted engineering calculations to
  
  

dimension components (e.g., verifying strength, stiffness and masses).

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Align closely with global R&D teams
  
  

Requirements

• Experience: Professional experience in mechanical design, product development, or engineering
  
  

operations within a manufacturing or R&D environment—ideally within the sanitary or

fluid-handling industry.

• Technical Design Skills: Strong expertise in the constructive design of complex components,
  
  

with a deep understanding of manufacturing constraints, material properties, and cost-to-design

principles.

• Analytical & Calculation Skills: Proficient in conducting mechanical dimensioning, structural
  
  

calculations, and simulations (e.g., strength, stiffness, mass calculations) using manual methods

or relevant engineering software.

• Technical Tool Knowledge: Solid experience working with modern CAD systems (such as
  
  

SolidEdge or Creo) alongside advanced R&D workflows, CAE, or simulation tools.

• SAP Expertise: Solid expertise in SAP ERP, specifically within the fields of Engineering Change
  
  

Management (ECM/ECN), Material Master Data management, and Bill of Materials (BOM)

structures.

• Quality & Timeline Mindset: A results-driven approach with a strong commitment to meeting
  
  

project deadlines, functional requirements, and high quality standards.

• Communication & Collaboration: High-level English proficiency with strong communication
  
  

skills to collaborate effectively within local teams and with global stakeholders.
