Ready to help shape the future of AI at the edge? At AI-Blox, we build high-performance, modular hardware for edge AI applications. As we continue to grow, we’re looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer to join our team and to solve complex challenges around thermal management, part integration, and durability for our hardware products. Your Mission As a Mechanical Design Engineer, you’ll play a key role in developing robust, high-performance mechanical solutions for our embedded AI hardware. Design and develop mechanical enclosures and internal layouts for electronic products Perform tolerance analysis and simulate airflow, thermal, and structural performance using CFD/FEA tools Select and integrate thermal components such as heatsinks, fans, and thermal interface materials Create detailed 3D CAD models, 2D drawings, and BOMs for prototyping and manufacturing Validate and optimize designs through hands-on testing, iteration, and continuous improvement Drive design reviews and support testing for certification, reliability, and environmental protection Contribute to sustainable product development by considering material choices, energy efficiency, and design for longevity and recyclability Work directly with suppliers — especially during prototyping — to align on design feasibility, material selection, and manufacturing processes Collaborate closely with electronics engineers, product designers, and international suppliers to ensure seamless system integration What You Bring A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field At least 5 years of experience in mechanical design — ideally in electronics, embedded systems, or industrial/consumer products Proficiency in 3D CAD software (e.g., Fusion 360, SolidWorks, Siemens NX) Experience with simulation tools for thermal, airflow, and structural analysis Solid understanding of mechanical design principles, materials, tolerances, and DFM best practices Familiarity with integrating electronics, designing for IP and EMI requirements, and working with environmental constraints Comfortable with lab testing and real-world validation A hands-on mindset and experience with prototyping and iterative design Strong communication skills and a collaborative, solution-driven approach Fluency in English; Dutch is a plus
