Machine Design & Maintenance

Mechanical Engineer

PROBUS Maschinenbau GmbH is expanding its engineering team. We develop advanced hydro-mechanical systems (Wireline, Coiled Tubing, Pressure Control, Downhole Tools) and we need a dedicated Mechanical Engineer (Machine Design & Maintenance) to ensure the mechanical integrity, optimization, and servicing of our equipment.

Design, optimize, and maintain our advanced mechanical systems. You will turn engineering concepts into reliable machinery—supporting product development, testing, and field service from idea to implementation.

Responsibilities

  • Design, develop and optimize mechanical components and assemblies in cooperation with R&D and project teams.
  • Perform mechanical calculations, stress analysis, tolerance and strength validations.
  • Support prototyping, testing, and validation of new machine systems.
  • Provide technical guidance for installation, commissioning, and maintenance of machinery.
  • Analyze failures, propose corrective actions and improvements.
  • Create and maintain technical documentation, drawings (CAD), BOMs, and service manuals.
  • Collaborate with procurement to specify mechanical components and suppliers.
  • Supervise or perform mechanical maintenance, repairs, and overhauls at customer sites if needed.

Qualifications & Skills

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related field.
  • 3–5 years (or more) of hands-on experience in machine design, mechanical systems, or maintenance in industrial or machinery sectors.
  • Strong skills in CAD (e.g. SolidWorks, Inventor, Siemens NX) and mechanical simulation (FEA, stress analysis).
  • Knowledge of materials, tolerance design, fatigue, sealing and lubrication principles.
  • Experience in field servicing, troubleshooting mechanical issues.
  • Ability to read & create technical drawings and specifications.
  • Good communication skills in English (German is a plus).
  • Willingness to travel occasionally to customer sites.

What We Offer

  • Central role in shaping the mechanical excellence of PROBUS systems.
  • Close cooperation with a skilled engineering core team.
  • Competitive salary and bonus scheme.
  • Opportunities for international travel and project exposure.
  • Career growth from design to project leadership.
