Technical developer

Location: headquarters Amsterdam, NL 

Department: product development

The Technical Developer specifies, develops and validates structures, mechanisms and systems in line with the design and the product architecture. The Technical Developer will be active in the NCD phase under the guidance of the Integrator and work closely together with the Function and Interaction Developer.

Responsibilities

  • Develop optimal technical solutions for the creative concept, in cooperation with the team, with the desired functions and aesthetics. Actively practice the process of integration of form, function and technology.
  • Develop system requirements and lower level requirements for the developed solutions.
  • Deliver technical proof for the concept by calculations, tests or other means.

Professional Skills

  • Mechanical design: Ability to apply robust design principles to fulfill required functions.
  • Strength and Stiffness: Ability to size parts correctly to withstand applicable load cases.
  • Statics and Dynamics: Ability to derive load cases in static and dynamic (incl impact) use situations.
  • Tribology: Ability to size parts and choose material combinations to withstand wear and tear usage.
  • Material application: Ability to apply appropriate materials in the concept/product.
  • Value engineering: Ability to monitor the expected costs and optimize costs against functions.
  • Write requirements: Ability to write requirements at the right level of abstraction/detail, which are testable. Define (mis)use cases and derive load cases from there.
  • Verification and Validation: Ability to design a test method, to be able to verify the requirement.
  • Design for manufacturing: Ability to apply relevant production techniques for producing the concept/product.
