About the role

As a Machine Layout Engineer, you'll be part of the Systems Engineering Department (LDRS Source Light), based in Darmstadt, with a hybrid working model.

System-level layout ownership: Define and manage all system-level layout aspects (including breakdowns of volume, footprint, tolerance, dimensions (move-in), mass, mechanical install, module breakdown, interfaces).
Baselines, change, and configuration: Establish and maintain both functional and physical layout baselines.
Define the system-level verification and validation strategy, drive milestones and design reviews focused on layout maturity.
Drive clear and transparent decisionmaking.
Installation, build, and integration lifecycle: Develop and own the complete installation and movein sequence.
Ensure that system designs comply with safety regulations and facility standards, service and access needs, including maintenance corridors, ergonomic handling, and replacement strategies.
Interface leadership and integration control: Define, document and govern mechanical interfaces between modules and between system and facility.
Define and maintain a tolerance budget.
Provide integration leadership by ensuring alignment across disciplines (mechanical, laser, vacuum, controls, safety) and maintain CAD/PLM data consistency with functional and physical baselines.
Bridge R&D to industrialization: Translate layouts into installable, serviceable, and serializable system architectures. Apply design for installation, serviceability and manufacturability, while standardizing interfaces,submodules, and alignment strategies.

Degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field (or equivalent experience)
Advanced CAD proficiency, strong tolerance analysis, and systems integration experience
Proven experience translating complex layouts into practical, industrialized system architectures
Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and documentation skills
Strong leadership, communication, and stakeholder management in a multi-disciplinary setting
Experience with systems engineering is a plus
Contribute to requirement engineering frameworks, documentation structures, and crossfunctional processes.
Coach teams on system architecture, change control and layoutdriven decisionmaking.

Compensation offered will be determined by factors such as location, level, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.

7+ years developing large, integrated interdisciplinary systems (e.g., lasers, semiconductors, nuclear, medical devices, advanced manufacturing)

Collaborate closely with customers and suppliers to derive future product requirements and translate them into system specifications.
