Your way into the future

Join us as Mechanical Engineer (m/f/d) and work with us on changing the future!

What awaits you at Mynaric

• You develop and design assemblies and subsystems for our optical communication terminals, working closely with systems, optics, electronics, manufacturing, and test engineers.
• You take ownership of mechanical solutions from concept through qualification and production, balancing performance, cost, manufacturability, and reliability.
• You create, analyze, and optimize designs using engineering calculations and simulation tools, including structural, thermal, and dynamic analyses.
• You derive mechanical architectures, subsystem requirements, interfaces, and design concepts from system-level requirements.
• You perform simulations and tolerance analyses, and assess the impact of mechanical design decisions on optical, electrical, and system performance.
• You support the definition and execution of verification and qualification activities, interpreting test results and feeding lessons learned back into the design.
• You create and maintain CAD models and technical documentation throughout the product lifecycle.
• You communicate technical trade-offs, analysis results, and design decisions effectively within project teams and design reviews.

What you bring with you

• University degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Profound demonstrated experience in designing complex mechanical or optomechanical systems in a high-technology environment, e.g. aerospace, photonics, semiconductor equipment, medical devices, defense, or similar.
• Strong systems-thinking mindset with the ability to understand and balance multidisciplinary requirements.
• Solid understanding of mechanics, materials, thermal behavior, and tolerance analysis.
• Experience performing engineering analyses and simulations. Experience in structural, thermal, and vibration assessments is a strong plus.
• Ability to translate system requirements into practical and robust engineering solutions that balance quality with development speed and cost.
• Hands-on mentality and willingness to build, test, troubleshoot, and improve your own designs.
• Strong knowledge of 3D CAD tools and PLM systems, ideally Siemens NX and Teamcenter.
• Understanding of manufacturing processes, assembly methods, and design-for-manufacturing principles.
• Comfortable working across disciplines and engaging constructively with systems, optics, electronics, software, and production teams.
• Results-oriented, proactive, and capable of taking responsibility for technical decisions.
• Strong communication skills in English, both written and spoken.
• Enthusiasm for solving challenging engineering problems in an innovative and fast-paced environment.
