Tool Designer & Technical Support Engineer

About the role

We are looking for a Tool Designer & Technical Support Engineer to join a growing, human‑scale team in Belgium. The role covers the full design cycle of custom precision tooling, from 3D modelling to first production trials, while providing technical advice to commercial teams and clients.

Key responsibilities

• Lead end‑to‑end 3D tooling design using CAD software, from specifications to workshop trials.
• Participate in sampling and pre‑series phases within the production workshop.
• Control and validate finished tools with high‑precision measuring instruments.
• Develop optimized geometric solutions that balance performance and process feasibility.
• Perform thermal and mechanical simulations to validate design choices.
• Provide structured technical support to commercial teams and analyse client projects.
• Interact directly with clients on technical aspects via phone, Teams, and occasional on‑site visits.

Required profile

• Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Materials Science or equivalent.
• Minimum 3 years of experience in CAD/DAO, preferably in tooling, extrusion, moulding or precision mechanics.
• Proficiency with a 3D modelling package such as SolidWorks, CATIA or Inventor.
• Familiarity with thermal or mechanical simulation tools (e.g., Ansys, Comsol) is a plus.
• Strong metrological rigour and comfort with tolerance requirements.
• Excellent communication skills and fluency in Dutch, English and French.
• Hands‑on, autonomous and curious attitude, able to integrate into a close‑knit team.

Required skills

• SolidWorks, CATIA, Inventor (3D CAD)
• Ansys, Comsol (thermal/mechanical simulation)
• Use of high‑precision measuring instruments
• Metrological tolerance analysis

What we offer

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