Overview
Mechanical Engineering Recruitment Consultant | Specialising in placing Mechanical & Industrial Engineers on a permanent basis in the Belgian market…
My client, a world-leading machine builder based in Antwerp, is looking for a Mechanical Design Lead to drive the development of next-generation high-performance machinery for the automotive, aerospace, and renewable energy sectors. These aren’t standard machines — they’re mega-scale, high-precision systems that set global benchmarks in automation, durability, and innovation.
What you’ll do:
* Lead a multi-disciplinary design team delivering complex, tailor-made machinery from concept through to installation.
* Oversee flagship projects such as gigafactory equipment, aerospace assembly lines, and advanced renewable energy systems.
* Shape the use of digital prototyping, FEM/CFD simulation, and modular design principles to push mechanical performance further.
* Mentor and inspire a team of designers, while acting as the technical authority in mechanical design decisions.
* Partner directly with international clients to co-create machines that don’t exist yet.
Why this is unique:
* Be at the heart of designing machines the world has never seen before — huge, complex, and groundbreaking.
* A rare chance to combine pure mechanical design leadership with tangible, large-scale impact.
* Direct exposure to cutting-edge industries: EVs, aerospace, wind energy, and beyond.
* An ambitious environment where your designs are built in-house and shipped worldwide.
This isn’t just another design job, it’s a chance to leave your mark on some of the most advanced machines in the world.
