Mechanical CAD Designer
Zürich Region, Switzerland (on-site)
Mechanical CAD Design | Prototype Development | Hands-on Assembly
Are you a hands-on Mechanical CAD Designer who enjoys doing more than producing drawings?
I am supporting a highly respected Swiss technology organisation in its search for a Mechanical CAD Designer to join an international team developing technically advanced, one-off mechanical prototypes.
You will have the opportunity to take ownership of specialised equipment from the initial CAD design through to construction, assembly, adaptation and continuous improvement. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to see their designs become functioning physical systems.
This is an employed role with the organisation for an initial two-year term, with the possibility of extension for a further two-years.
Your responsibilities
Create detailed 3D CAD designs for specialised mechanical components and assemblies
Develop technically demanding, one-off prototypes
Take responsibility for designs from the initial concept through to physical assembly
Independently assemble, adapt and improve the systems you design
Contribute hands-on to specialised winding and production activities
Help develop and optimise new manufacturing and assembly processes
Produce or modify simpler components using drilling, turning and milling
Select and procure mechanical components, parts and raw materials
Liaise with suppliers and external manufacturing partners
Work closely with engineers, scientists and technical specialists
Troubleshoot mechanical issues and implement practical design improvements
Your background
The organisation is looking for someone with a strong practical foundation in mechanical design and prototype construction.
You should bring:
Completed apprenticeship or vocational training as a Konstrukteur/in, Mechanical Designer, Technischer Produktdesigner, Mechanical Drafter or an equivalent discipline
Professional experience in mechanical CAD design
Strong practical experience in prototype development, construction or assembly
The ability to work autonomously and take ownership from CAD design through to final assembly
A good understanding of mechanical components, materials and manufacturing processes
Confidence working in a workshop, laboratory or prototype environment
Experience selecting and procuring mechanical parts or raw materials
Motivation to learn new and highly specialised technical processes
Good English communication skills are required, German is a plus
A collaborative and solution-oriented approach
Experience in any of the following would be advantageous but is not essential:
Special-purpose machinery or custom equipment
Precision mechanics or scientific instrumentation
Coil winding or electromechanical systems
Cryogenic or vacuum-related equipment
Conventional machining
FFF 3D printing or additive manufacturing .
Why consider this opportunity?
Design genuinely unique prototypes rather than repetitive series-production components
Personally take your work from CAD model to functioning physical equipment
Combine mechanical design with construction, assembly and problem-solving
Work with advanced technologies in an innovative engineering environment
Access excellent technical, laboratory and workshop infrastructure
Receive structured training in highly specialised manufacturing processes
Collaborate with an international and interdisciplinary team
Contribute to a major long-term European technology programme
Benefit from the employment conditions of a respected and well-established Swiss organisation
