Hardware Mechanical Engineer

Location: Onsite Cracow Project Duration: Q4 2026 – Q1 2027 initially Project: Automotive Electronic Control Unit (ECU) / Compute Unit Project Phase: Initial design phase – A-Sample development through production preparation Position Overview: We are looking for a Senior Hardware Mechanical Engineer with strong automotive experience to support the development of next-generation automotive compute units / Electronic Control Units (ECUs). The successful candidate will take ownership of the mechanical design activities, working closely with CAD designers and cross-functional teams including Electrical Engineering, Validation, Material Engineering and Manufacturing. The role requires strong practical knowledge of mechanical design for automotive electronics, manufacturing technologies, thermal management, EMC/ESD considerations, GD&T and tolerance management. Key Responsibilities: Lead mechanical design activities for automotive compute units / ECUs. Translate and interpret internal and customer requirements using requirements-management tools such as Polarion and DOORS. Work closely with CAD designers to develop robust mechanical solutions. Coordinate mechanical development with Electrical Engineering, Validation, Material Engineering and other disciplines. Define mechanical design concepts suitable for A-Sample development and subsequent production. Apply design principles for EMC and ESD robustness. Manage dimensional accuracy and interfaces to ensure correct assembly and product performance. Perform and review tolerance stack-up calculations and define appropriate tolerances. Apply GD&T principles to mechanical components and assemblies.
