Mechanical Designer (m/f/d) - München on site:

- Design, model, and continuously iterate complex mechanical components and assemblies in 3D CAD for current and future aviation and defense drone products

- Perform hands-on rapid prototyping, physical fit-checks, and support hardware integration and testing on the shop floor or in the lab

- Create, manage, and maintain detailed mechanical product specifications, ensuring designs meet strict Design for Manufacturability and Assembly (DFM/DFA) criteria

- Generate, review, and release high-quality 2D manufacturing drawings, ensuring strict adherence to aerospace drafting standards and GD&T

- Author and update comprehensive general product documentation, including Interface Control Documents (ICDs), assembly instructions, and maintenance guides

- Ensure rigorous design traceability from system-level requirements down to individual component specifications, digital models, and final production hardware

- Collaborate closely with Systems Engineering and Manufacturing teams to resolve hands-on engineering challenges during the build and testing phases

- Report design maturity, drawing release status, and hardware testing feedback to project stakeholders and upper management

- 5+ years of professional working experience in mechanical hardware design, prototyping, and technical documentation, preferably with an aerospace or defense background

- Expert hands-on capabilities in 3D/2D CAD design tools (preferred Solidworks or Siemens NX) and deep knowledge of GD&T (e.g., ASME Y14.5 or ISO GPS)

- Practical, hands-on experience in building, integrating, and testing mechanical or electro-mechanical hardware prototypes

- Strong knowledge of mechanical manufacturing processes (e.g., machining, composites, 3D printing) and material selection

- Proven track record of technical writing and authoring high-quality product documentation (ICDs, design descriptions, and manuals)

- Strong understanding of requirements traceability and working within a structured PLM/Configuration Management environment

- Excellent written and verbal communication skills (English), bridging the gap between hands-on engineering and precise technical writing

- Keen fast track developments and realizations

- Fun working in a highly flexible environment
