Senior Mechanical Engineer

City: Ballerup, Denmark; Augsburg, Germany

Country/Region: Denmark, Germany

State:

Business Area: R&D

Department: Camera Mechanical Design

Employment Type: Full-time

Req ID: 10713

At Ambu, we’re developing next-generation single-use endoscopes, and we’re looking for skilled mechanical engineers to help design the small, precise systems that make these devices work.

This position can be based in either Ballerup, Denmark or Augsburg, Germany.

In this role, you’ll take a leading part in developing the miniature mechanical assemblies at the heart of our endoscope platforms. It’s a chance to solve real-world engineering challenges, working with ultra-compact designs, new technologies and materials, smart material choices, and high-volume manufacturing to deliver reliable products used in clinical care around the world.

Key responsibilities

As a Mechanical Engineer in the Camera Engineering Team, you will own the mechanical design of Ambu’s next-generation camera modules and assemblies - from early exploration to full-scale production. Your work will directly impact the performance of our products in critical care settings.

You can expect to:

Lead mechanical development from proof of concept to validated designs, ensuring robust, compact, and cost-effective solutions.

Design miniaturized mechanical systems that integrate tightly with optics, electronics, and high-precision molded plastic parts with complex geometries.

Select materials and processes based on functional requirements, tolerances, mechanical stress, and compatibility with injection molding, 3D printing, or automated assembly.

Solve complex engineering problems related to thermal management, alignment of optical and imaging elements, sealing against moisture ingress, and the mechanical packaging of delicate electronics.

Translate clinical and usability needs into clear, feasible mechanical specifications by collaborating with physicians, designers, and R&D teams.

Create working prototypes for concept validation and manufacturability testing using methods such as 3D printing, machining, and early tool trials.

Optimize designs for scalable, high-yield manufacturing, including tolerance stack-up, DFMA, and robust design principles.

Collaborate across functions and locations, including development teams in Denmark, Germany, and Malaysia, as well as global suppliers and technology partners.

Qualifications

We believe the best candidates blend creative engineering, hands-on experience, and the ability to see products through from idea to production.

You are likely to thrive in this role if you have:

A degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related technical field.

Experience in mechanical design ideally for compact or precision-engineered systems.

A hands-on approach to prototyping, testing, and iterating designs. Experience with a range of 3D printing technologies is a plus.

Experience designing plastic parts and compact assemblies for high-volume manufacturing using processes such as injection molding or overmolding.

A good understanding of how material properties (e.g. processability, chemical resistance, thermal behavior) impact product function and process choices.

Familiarity with integrating miniature electronic components or camera modules into complex mechanical encapsulations.

Strong 3D CAD skills (e.g. Creo, SolidWorks, Inventor, or Catia).

Strong collaboration and communication skills across technical disciplines.

Fluency in English, both written and spoken.

Why Join Ambu?

Ambu is a fast-growing, international MedTech company with a clear mission: to improve patient care while advancing medical technology. We combine agility with global reach, and you’ll have the opportunity to work in a collaborative environment where your decisions and designs directly influence clinical outcomes.
