• Understand material properties and behaviors (preferably polymers).

In addition:

• We are especially interested in your ability to communicate clearly and manage customer expectations, ensuring your work meets the agreed quality, timeline, and budget.
• We expect that you will have minimum 3 years prior relevant working experience within mechanical development and design of products and manufacturing processes in a company’s R&D function or as an external consultant.
• Hands-on experience from developing plastic-based products is an advantage – preferable within the MedTech field.
• We expect you to master CAD - preferably SolidWorks or CREO.
• You hold a university degree in Mechanical Engineering.
• You are fluent in English (written and spoken). Danish language skills are an advantage.
• You have a Danish work permit.
