DESIGN ENGINEER - ANTWERP REGION (BELGIUM) - PERMANENT POSITION

About the Role

We're currently recruiting for a hands-on, detail-oriented Design Engineer to create practical and functional layouts for industrial systems and solutions.

In this role, you’ll take concepts and requirements from project teams and turn them into clear, accurate 2D and 3D designs that guide manufacturing, installation, and operations. You’ll collaborate with project managers, engineers, and production teams to ensure layouts are efficient, safe, and optimized for real-world use.

This role is ideal for someone with strong design and spatial skills who enjoys problem-solving and creating structured solutions, but you don’t need an engineering degree or prior “engineer” title to succeed.

If you have experience with CAD tools and a passion for turning ideas into functional designs, this role gives you the opportunity to make a tangible impact on industrial projects.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop 2D and 3D layouts for industrial systems and equipment
• Create detailed drawings for manufacturing, installation, and customer approval
• Collaborate with project managers, sales, and production teams to translate requirements into practical designs
• Optimize layouts for space efficiency, safety, and functionality
• Update and revise drawings based on feedback and site constraints
• Maintain organized documentation of drawings and revisions
• Ensure designs align with project specifications and timelines

The Tools & Softwares:

• Primary tool: Autodesk Inventor
• Open to candidates experienced in other CAD tools (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Fusion 360, etc.)
• Ability to learn and adapt to new design software as needed

The Requirements:

• Experience creating technical drawings and layouts (industrial, mechanical, manufacturing, or similar fields)
• Strong spatial awareness and attention to detail
• Ability to understand technical requirements and convert them into practical designs
• Comfortable working in 3D modeling environments
• Good communication skills and ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams
• Problem-solving mindset

The Offer:

• A permanent, full-time employment contract
• A salary & benefits package commensurate with experience
