Graduate Engineer, Development Engineer, Senior Designer

MicroVision is a pioneer in MEMS-based laser scanning technology integrating optics, electronics, algorithms, and machine learning software in in-house systems. This integrated approach delivers solutions for automotive LiDAR sensors, augmented reality microdisplays, and interactive display modules. Since February 2023, after acquiring Ibeo Automotive Systems GmbH, 350 employees from over 30 nations work at sites in Hamburg, Nuremberg, and Redmond, USA, to make fast autonomous driving possible and safe. Role in the Sensor Development department.

• Development of optomechanical components and assemblies in collaboration with system and optics development, considering feasibility, space constraints, handling, manufacturing aspects, and series production suitability
• Creating mechanical studies and consulting on studies to meet customer requirements, detailed design, and, if needed, one-off production up to the "proof of concept" of first active samples
• Concepts for injection molding tools for initial prototypes and urgently needed accessories, as well as housing parts of existing sensors
• 3D prototype designs and implementation for prototype manufacturing and CNC small-batch production of new sensor concepts, mechanical parts or assemblies, and for mockups and general studies
• Design studies for new generations of LiDAR sensors, and implementation of special customer requests using conventional and new sensor technology
• Design of inspection, measurement, and testing fixtures in MicroVision's current portfolio, as well as derivation of all documentation, awarding and managing manufacturing, and sourcing special accessories
• Preparation of special documentation and drawings for customers
• Requesting and ensuring production capacity for small-batch manufacturing
• Supporting marketing with rendered visualizations, turntable animations, and explosion simulations to illustrate our products
• Assisting in the creation of targets for static calibration from design to production
• Solutions for concepts of alternative connection and assembly techniques to reduce space requirements
• General simulations for lab applications, software-assisted alignment, and theoretical 3D simulations
• Building and maintaining a 3D database, PDM, with products, projects, equipment, and purchased parts

• Consultation and project support for an aerospace system supplier, involving problem analysis, advice, and technical assistance, including trips to China
• Problem analysis and solution finding for negative quality features during the production of interior parts for Airbus at the production site in China

• Project engineer and resident engineer in Wolfsburg on behalf of the customer VW, handling quality issues and ensuring processes up to utility model testing
• Project management for the interior tooling division Airbus 350 on customer assignment
• Project management, design, development, and technical design of a new generation of forklifts for autonomous logistics processes (STILL) “six-in-one” in compact design (cubeXX) as well as support from prototype construction to trade show readiness (CEMAT 2014)
• Collaboration in design, development, and new technical design of future generations of motorhomes at Bürstner (Kehl) and Niessmann+Bischof (Koblenz)

• Design of injection molding tools
• Finite modeling and manufacture-oriented shaping of parts and assemblies (plastic design)
• Technical development and technological design of new innovative products, zero series, small series, prototypes
• Feasibility studies, design analysis, and design simplification with full functionality, technical feasibility
• Conceptualization and design of primary forming tools such as injection molding, die casting, or silicone tools considering rheological and thermal analyses
• Problem analysis, functional testing of dynamic and static components in interaction with defined process cycles
• Development and elaboration of ideas for custom products and special machines, including laser device construction, valve construction, indoor logistics, vehicle construction
• Patent design, freeform design, and product studies
• Scheduling, monitoring manufacturing processes
• Delegating work groups or tasks
