Mechanical design engineer - Casablanca

Embark on a stimulating journey with a leading company in the other services sector, nestled in the vibrant city of Casablanca. This organization is renowned for its innovative spirit and commitment to excellence. As a Mechanical Design Engineer, you will be at the forefront of developing cutting-edge mechanical solutions. Your role is pivotal in translating complex ideas into tangible, high-performance designs that drive the company's success. Imagine yourself contributing to projects that shape the future of the industry, working within a dynamic and forward-thinking environment where your expertise is highly valued and your impact is immediately visible. This is more than just a job; it's an opportunity to become an integral part of a team that thrives on challenges and celebrates innovation.

The primary objectives for this role are to conceptualize, design, and validate mechanical components and systems that meet stringent performance, cost, and schedule requirements. You will be instrumental in driving the product development lifecycle from initial ideation through to final production readiness, ensuring that all designs adhere to the highest standards of quality and safety. Furthermore, a key objective involves fostering collaboration across multidisciplinary teams, including R&D, manufacturing, and project management, to ensure seamless integration of mechanical designs into the broader product architecture. Success in this position will be measured by the successful delivery of robust, innovative, and cost-effective mechanical solutions, contributing directly to the company's competitive edge and market leadership. This role also aims to cultivate a culture of continuous improvement in design processes and methodologies, embracing new technologies to enhance efficiency and product performance.

The core responsibilities of this position involve the detailed design and development of mechanical parts and assemblies using advanced CAD software. This includes creating 2D drawings, 3D models, and generating Bills of Materials (BOMs) with meticulous attention to detail. A significant part of your role will be performing engineering analysis, such as Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), to predict and optimize the behavior of your designs under various operating conditions. You will be responsible for preparing technical documentation, including design specifications, test plans, and reports, ensuring clarity and completeness. Collaboration is key; you will work closely with cross-functional teams to define requirements, resolve design issues, and support manufacturing processes. This also entails participating in design reviews, providing constructive feedback, and ensuring that designs are optimized for manufacturability, assembly, and maintenance. The role also encompasses the validation of designs through prototyping and rigorous testing, analyzing results, and implementing necessary modifications. Furthermore, staying abreast of emerging technologies and industry best practices will be crucial to driving innovation.
To thrive in this role, a solid educational foundation is essential. An academic background culminating in a Bac +5 and above degree is the minimum requirement, demonstrating a high level of specialized knowledge. Ideally, candidates will possess a degree with a specialization that aligns perfectly with the demands of advanced mechanical design and project execution. This includes a strong emphasis on Project Management, allowing for effective oversight of design initiatives from inception to completion. Expertise in Research & Development (R&D) is highly valued, enabling innovative problem-solving and the creation of novel solutions. Furthermore, specializations in Methods, Process, and Industrialization are particularly relevant, ensuring that designs are not only theoretically sound but also practical and efficient to manufacture and integrate into production lines. This comprehensive educational background ensures a deep understanding of engineering principles and their application in a real-world industrial context.

We are seeking an individual with a proven track record, specifically between 3 to 5 years of relevant professional experience. This experience should ideally span across the areas of mechanical design, product development, and potentially project coordination within the industrial sector. A background that includes hands-on involvement in the design and implementation of mechanical systems, from conceptualization to production, is highly desirable. Experience in an environment that values innovation and rigorous engineering practices will be a significant asset. Candidates who have demonstrated the ability to manage design tasks effectively, work within project timelines, and collaborate with diverse teams will find this role a perfect fit. Your previous roles should showcase a clear progression in responsibility and a commitment to delivering high-quality engineering solutions.

To excel as our Mechanical Design Engineer, a blend of technical prowess and interpersonal abilities is crucial. A strong command of CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, CATIA, AutoCAD) for 3D modeling and 2D drafting is fundamental. Proficiency in engineering simulation tools, such as FEA and CFD software, is essential for design validation and optimization. A deep understanding of mechanical engineering principles, including statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, and material science, forms the bedrock of this role. Knowledge of manufacturing processes, material selection, and design for manufacturability (DFM) is also highly important. On the project side, skills in project management methodologies and the ability to track progress, manage timelines, and coordinate tasks are necessary. Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills are paramount for tackling complex design challenges. Furthermore, strong communication and interpersonal skills are vital for effective collaboration with team members and stakeholders. The ability to clearly articulate technical concepts and document findings is also key. A proactive approach to learning and a keen interest in new technologies will ensure continuous contribution and growth within the team.
