The Team

We are expanding our R&D Mechanical Integration team in order to meet the strong demand for premium hearing aids. As part of the global R&D powerhouse of WS Audiology, we are developing the next-generation hearing aids for Widex and other brands in the WSA family.

You will join a functional team of proficient mechanical engineers, and participate in project work with cross-functional groups in close collaboration with colleagues from the hardware, wireless and electro-acoustic teams. The whole team is a part of our R&D department which currently has around 900 experts located in different countries.

The Role

As our new Mechanical Design Engineer you will work with the latest technology in CAD, simulation, and prototyping, including PTC CREO, Moldex3D, Abaqus FEA, COMSOL Multiphysics FEA, high-resolution 3D printers, etc. and place a high priority on professional skills with a focus on competency development, individual specialization, and continuous training.

Most of our components are high-precision injection molded parts, but we also develop metal and elastomer parts as well as hybrid mechatronic modules. Most projects are taken from the early phase to final release and ramp-up by the same product team, so be prepared to participate in all phases of product development.

In this role you will have the following responsibilities: 

• Preliminary design studies and implementation of product architecture
• Detailed part/system design and maturation using PTC CREO and our PLM system
• Prototyping activities, proof-of-concept generation, and design evaluation
• Design for X in close collaboration with other departments (simulation and material specialists, in-house tool maker, NPI team, Operations, external suppliers, etc.)
• Specification and documentation according to our Quality Management System, Design Control requirements for Medical Device development, and internal guidelines
• Verification and validation of design output in close collaboration with our Reliability Test Team and System V&V teams
• Collaboration with Operations, Supply Chain, and suppliers regarding ramp-up and product launch activities
