Tool Designer & Technical Support Engineer (Belgium)

About the role

We are looking for a Tool Designer & Technical Support Engineer to join a growing, human‑scale team that designs and manufactures custom precision tooling for industrial extrusion processes across Europe. The role combines full‑cycle product development with hands‑on technical support for commercial teams and clients.

Key responsibilities

• Lead end‑to‑end 3D tooling design, from specification gathering to first workshop trials.
• Participate actively in sampling and pre‑series phases within the production workshop.
• Validate finished tools using high‑precision measuring instruments.
• Develop optimized geometric solutions that balance performance and process feasibility.
• Conduct thermal and mechanical simulations to support design decisions.
• Provide structured technical support to sales teams and directly advise clients on product‑related matters.

Required profile

• Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Materials Science or a related field.
• Minimum 3 years of experience with CAD/DAO, preferably in tooling, extrusion, moulding or precision mechanics.
• Strong communication skills in Dutch, English and French.
• Hands‑on, autonomous, curious and comfortable working in a close‑knit team.

Required skills

• Proficiency with 3D modelling software such as SolidWorks, CATIA or Inventor.
• Familiarity with thermal and/or mechanical simulation tools like Ansys or Comsol.
• Experience using precision measurement instruments and applying tolerance requirements.

What we offer

• A technically rich position within a flat‑hierarchy company where every team member has real impact.
• One‑year internal training programme across European sites.
• Opportunities to master a niche profession at the intersection of precision mechanics, materials science and thermal engineering.
