Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

This role requires the candidate to work on-site in Salatiga Central Java Indonesia.

Client Overview

Our client is a leading research and development (R&D) and manufacturing company specializing in the design and production of high-tech laboratory automation equipment used by research institutions biotechnology companies and pharmaceutical organizations worldwide. The company combines advanced engineering expertise with in-house manufacturing capabilities to develop innovative automation solutions that improve scientific research laboratory efficiency and precision manufacturing.

Operating under a fully integrated product development model the organization manages every stage of engineering internallyfrom research concept development mechanical design prototyping manufacturing assembly testing and product validation. Its multidisciplinary engineering environment consists of Mechanical Electrical Software Firmware Process and Injection Mold Engineering teams working collaboratively to deliver cutting-edge laboratory automation systems with exceptional quality and precision.

Job Role

The Senior Mechanical Design Engineer is a highly technical hands-on engineering position responsible for the end-to-end design and development of precision special-purpose machines and high-performance automation systems. This role focuses on transforming engineering concepts into fully functional products through a structured data-driven engineering approach rather than trial-and-error development.

Working closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams the successful candidate will lead complete product development activities including engineering analysis mechanism design CAD modeling prototyping manufacturing collaboration assembly validation troubleshooting and product optimization. The position requires an experienced engineer capable of designing complex moving mechanisms and precision robotic systems while actively participating throughout the in-house fabrication and verification process.

Key Responsibilities
