Mechanical Design Engineer – 3D Machine Design
Location: Kortrijk, Belgium
Type: Full-time | In-house role
Are you a Mechanical Design Engineer with a passion for complex, tailor-made machinery? Whether you're fresh out of school or bring over 20 years of hands-on experience, we welcome all levels of expertise. Join a dynamic and growing company in the Kortrijk region, specialising in the design and assembly of custom-built production line machines. We're looking for a 3D Mechanical Design Engineer to support the design and development of innovative, high-precision systems for a wide range of industrial applications.
Your Role
As part of a dedicated engineering team, you will work closely with the Project Engineer to bring bespoke machine concepts to life. From idea to assembly, everything is developed and built in-house. You’ll be responsible for:
* Creating and modifying detailed 3D mechanical designs.
* Collaborating with the wider project team to ensure technical feasibility and functionality.
* Preparing production drawings and documentation.
* Participating in internal reviews to optimise design for performance, cost, and manufacturability.
What We’re Looking For
* Passion for mechanical design and problem-solving.
* Experience with 3D mechanical CAD software—ideally Creo + Model Manager, but proficiency in any 3D tool is welcome.
* Understanding of mechanical systems and manufacturing processes (level of depth can vary depending on experience).
* Interest in working on complex, custom-built machines.
* English fluency is required; a basic understanding of Dutch or willingness to learn is expected. Dutch speakers are strongly preferred.
* EU work authorisation is required.
Working Conditions
* 39-hour workweek: 8-hour days (Mon–Thurs) and a 7-hour day on Friday.
* Flexible start times between 7:00–9:00 AM.
* Flexible lunch breaks (30 minutes to 2 hours).
* Primarily office-based with occasional flexibility (e.g., for technician visits or personal circumstances).
* Collaborative and supportive team culture focused on innovation and quality.
Why Join Us?
Every machine we build is unique—designed, engineered, and assembled entirely in-house. Whether you're just starting your career or looking for a new challenge after decades in the field, you'll have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact, learn from experienced colleagues, and grow with us.
