Intersoft Electronics is a Belgian engineering company active in the domain of air traffic control (ATC) and air-defence radar. It is our mission to create and deliver cutting edge solutions in these fields and enable our customers to achieve comprehensive and reliable radar coverage leading to safer airways. Our products and services are used worldwide!
Are you passionate about mechanical product development in a high-tech environment? We are seeking a skilled Electro-mechanic Product Developer to join our dynamic team!
Your Tasks and Responsibilities:
Designing mechanical enclosures for high-tech measurement and radar systems.
You typically start from COTS 19” enclosures, which you adapt to fit our products, but occasionally you also develop fully custom housings.
These designs integrate cooling solutions (active or passive), RF shields, and front and back panels for connectors, switches, fans, LEDs, and human control interfaces such as push buttons, rotary encoders, and small displays.
Collaborating with system and hardware designers on the placement of connectors, component cooling, mounting points, ventilation openings, cabling, and EMC measures, with a focus on ease of assembly and maintenance.
Creating or validating STEP models based on component datasheets.
Integrating thermal design, EMC and RF shielding, and mechanical robustness against vibration and shock, ensuring that systems remain transportable without damage.
Applying Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles, taking into account production processes such as sheet-metal work, CNC milling, precision machining, and surface treatments, to achieve optimized and reproducible designs.
Sourcing and maintaining relationships with suppliers of enclosures and mechanical parts.
You assess their capabilities, align designs with them, and adjust where needed to optimize manufacturability, cost efficiency, and quality.
Following up on larger mechanical structures realized by external partners, such as rotating or non-rotating radar antenna assemblies and supporting frameworks.
Together with the system engineers, you define the mechanical requirements, monitor progress and quality criteria, and jointly evaluate the final product during acceptance.
Documenting your work and actively contributing ideas to improve the development process.
You don’t need to tick every box — the more you bring, the better, but we value curiosity and continuous growth just as much as experience.
