🤖 Ready to help shape the future of AI at the edge? 🤖
At AI-Blox, we build high-performance, modular hardware for edge AI applications. As we continue to grow, we’re looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer to join our team and to solve complex challenges around thermal management, part integration, and durability for our hardware products.
Your Mission
🚀 How you'll make an impact:
* Design and develop mechanical enclosures and internal layouts for electronic products
* Select and integrate thermal components such as heatsinks, fans, and thermal interface materials
* Create detailed 3D CAD models, 2D drawings, and BOMs for prototyping and manufacturing
* Validate and optimize designs through hands-on testing, iteration, and continuous improvement
* Perform tolerance analysis and simulate airflow, thermal, and structural performance using CFD/FEA tools
* Drive design reviews and support testing for certification, reliability, and environmental protection
* Contribute to sustainable product development by considering material choices, energy efficiency, and design for longevity and recyclability
* Work directly with suppliers — especially during prototyping — to align on design feasibility, material selection, and manufacturing processes
* Collaborate closely with electronics engineers, product designers, and international suppliers to ensure seamless system integration
Requirements
🧩 What makes you a great fit:
* A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field
* At least 5 years of experience in mechanical design — ideally in electronics, embedded systems, or industrial/consumer products
* Proficiency in 3D CAD software (e.g., Fusion 360, SolidWorks, Siemens NX)
* Experience with simulation tools for thermal, airflow, and structural analysis
* Solid understanding of mechanical design principles, materials, tolerances, and DFM best practices
* Familiarity with integrating electronics, designing for IP and EMI requirements, and working with environmental constraints
* Comfortable with lab testing and real-world validation
* A hands-on mindset and experience with prototyping and iterative design
* Strong communication skills and a collaborative, solution-driven approach
* Fluency in English; Dutch is a plus
Benefits
🎁 On top of a competitive salary, we offer:
* 32 vacation days (including 12 additional leave days)
* Healthcare benefits (through Alan)
* Group Insurance
* Meal vouchers
* Flex Income Plan (through Payflip)
* Stock options
* Fun team drinks & events
* A brand new office in the heart of Brussels
