🤖 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

🚀 How you'll make an impact:

  • Design and develop mechanical enclosures and internal layouts for electronic products
  • 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
  • Perform tolerance analysis and simulate airflow, thermal, and structural performance using CFD/FEA tools
  • 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 makes you a great fit:

  • 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

🎁 On top of a competitive salary, we offer:

  • 32 vacation days (including 12 additional leave days)
  • Healthcare benefits (through Alan)
  • Group Insurance
  • Meal vouchers
  • Flex Income Plan (through Payflip)
  • Stock options
  • Fun team drinks & events
  • A brand new office in the heart of Brussels
