About this vacancy
We are looking for an R&D; Engineer with solid mechanical design experience to contribute to the development of new machines and systems for the radiopharmaceutical sector (synthesis modules, dispensing and fractionation systems, quality control systems, shielded components, and handling in confined environments).
Mechanical design is the core of this position: you will be responsible for the development cycle of the component and assembly, from concept to prototype, validation, and transfer to production.
Main responsibilities
- Design and develop mechanical systems and assemblies for radiopharmaceutical machines, from concept to detailed design
- Create 3D models, technical drawings, and BOMs (Bill of Materials) applying GD&T; and technical drawing standards
- Design radiation shielding (lead, tungsten, steel) optimizing weight, dimensions, and ALARA
- Design fluidic paths and components in contact with the product (valves, tubes, single-use cassettes, connections),
selecting compatible materials (e.g., 316L, PEEK, PTFE, PP)
- Design motion and automation systems (pneumatic and electric actuators, slides, arms, gripping and transfer mechanisms)
- Produce and validate prototypes, define test plans, and analyze results
- Perform tolerance analyses, structural calculations, and, where necessary, FEM simulations
- Work with electronics, software, and controls in a multidisciplinary team
- Contribute to technical documentation to ensure compliance with regulations and GMP requirements (design specification, risk assessment/FMEA, support for IQ/OQ/PQ)
- Select and qualify suppliers and components, supporting industrialization and production
- Manage design changes (change control) and support technical assistance and continuous improvement of installed products
