Design Engineer – Lifting Platforms

About the role

We are looking for a Design Engineer to lead the creation of innovative lifting platforms, from concept through industrialisation. The role combines mechanical, hydraulic and electrical design expertise to deliver safe, cost‑effective solutions for our customers.

Key responsibilities

• Design and develop new lifting platforms, defining mechanical, hydraulic and electrical specifications.
• Perform structural calculations, kinematics analysis and strength‑of‑materials assessments.
• Validate designs using FEM/FEA simulations and physical testing.
• Ensure compliance with EN 280, CE and other safety standards.
• Manage engineering change requests (ECR/ECO) and support manufacturing during pilot runs.
• Collaborate with production, procurement, quality and sales teams to optimise cost and performance.
• Produce and maintain technical documentation, BOMs and knowledge‑transfer packages.

Required profile

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical, Industrial Engineering or a related field.
• 2–5 years of experience in industrial product design, preferably with lifting or heavy‑machinery systems.
• Proficiency in English (B2‑C1) and Spanish (C1).
• Knowledge of relevant standards (EN 280, ISO, CE) and basic project‑management concepts.

Required skills

• Advanced 3D CAD (SolidWorks, Inventor, CATIA).
• FEM/FEA analysis for structural simulation.
• Hydraulic and electrical system design.
• BOM management and technical documentation.
• Understanding of manufacturing processes (welding, machining, assembly).
• DFM/DFA principles.
