Senior Product Design Engineering Lead

Senior Product Design Engineering Lead **Senior Product Design Engineering Lead** ========================================== **Location: Antwerp or Amsterdam \| Hybrid Experience: 8+ years product design experience** **From mechanical architecture to mass production. You set the technical bar.*** As Senior Product Design Engineering Lead, you drive the mechanical development of Loop's hardware products from concept to mass production. You operate as a technical leader within cross functional squads, translating product requirements into manufacturable, reliable, high performing mechanical systems. You combine deep mechanical expertise with strong technical judgment, shaping decisions across design, validation, and manufacturing to deliver hardware that performs at scale. **The role** - ----------- You own the system level mechanical architecture and the quality of the technical solution. From proof of concept through EVT, DVT, and PVT, you ensure product requirements translate into robust engineering decisions, with performance, manufacturability, reliability, and elegant design championed throughout development. Depending on team structure, you directly own CAD or oversee it, setting a high bar for modeling processes, tolerancing, mechanical stack ups, and design documentation. You lead through the decisions that determine whether a product succeeds at scale. You drive material and process selection against performance, cost, and timeline needs, and ensure prototyping and analysis are used to prove function and reduce uncertainty. When mechanical issues emerge, you bring structure to ambiguity, driving disciplined root cause analysis and risk mitigation to keep programs moving. Your impact goes beyond the mechanical design itself. You bring Industrial Design, Product, Operations, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, Sourcing, Acoustics, UX, and other partners into the right conversations at the right time. You make trade o...
