Job Description

Mechanical Engineer – Hardware for Sound Processors, Location: Askim, Sweden

Are you passionate about fine mechanics and eager to make a real difference in people’s lives? Do you want to be part of a fast-growing, innovative company developing life-changing implantable hearing solutions?

At Oticon Medical, we’re on a mission to improve the quality of life for people with severe hearing loss. We are now strengthening our R&D Hardware team with a Mechanical Engineer that will be part of driving the mechanical design of our next‑generation sound processors. Bring your mechanical design expertise – we’ll bring the purpose, the passion, and the people.

If you enjoy solving complex mechanical challenges, working hands‑on with prototypes, and contributing to meaningful medical technology, this is an opportunity to work autonomously with high‑precision hardware in a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment.

About the Role

As a Mechanical Engineer in our Implant Systems R&D team, you will be part of the mechanical hardware design of our sound processors and collaborate closely with electronics, industrial design, manufacturing, and suppliers. You will work throughout the development lifecycle—from early concept through verification and industrialization.

We are looking for an autonomous, hands‑on Mechanical Engineer who takes responsibility for their design area while enjoying close teamwork. You don’t need to be senior — but you should be skilled, independent, and eager to learn.

Your responsibilities include:

• Designing precision mechanical parts and assemblies for small, complex audio devices.
• Creating and maintaining 3D/2D CAD models in PTC Creo.
• Contributing to and converting industrial design into manufacturable mechanical solutions.
• Integrating mechanical designs with electronics
• Building, testing, and iterating prototypes together with electronics and systems engineers.
• Performing verification activities, including vibration, durability, and environmental testing.
• Documenting work in accordance with internal processes
• Managing design updates, risk assessments, and regulatory compliance.
• Supporting supplier collaboration for tooling, molding, manufacturing, and assembly.
  
  

You likely have:

• A BSc or MSc in Mechanical Engineering (or similar).
• 3–7 years of experience in mechanical product development.
• Strong CAD skills, preferably in Creo.
• Experience with fine mechanics, plastic components, or compact electromechanical devices.
• Experience collaborating with electronics, industrial design, and suppliers.
• Understanding of design in regulated environments.
• A proactive, structured, and solution‑oriented mindset.
• Fluency in English, spoken and written.
  
  

Key Tools & Workflows

When working with us you can expect to work with the following tools and areas. You don’t need to check all the boxes. Previous experiences are beneficial, but not mandatory. An eagerness to learn and can do attitude is key.

• ECAD–MCAD collaboration tools for electronics–mechanics integration
• PTC Creo, including : Skeleton modeling, Surface modeling , Parametric modeling and detailed drawings

• ID (Industrial Design) conversion into functional hardware
• CAD documentation and configuration management
• Creation of drawings, inspection requirements, and data sheets
• Test and verification for mechanical validation

• Electronics teams for PCB mechanics and vibro‑acoustic considerations
• Industrial designers for form‑factor optimization
• Operations and suppliers for manufacturability and mass‑production readiness
  
  

Technical Competences

• Plastic design for small, high‑precision components
• PCB mechanics and electromechanical integration
• Vibro‑acoustical design
• User‑centric mechanical design
• Complex system integration in constrained spaces
• Applying robust design to accommodate for variation
• Vibration analysis
• Static and dynamic load cases
• Magnetic forces
• Moldflow and manufacturability simulations
  
  

Supplier & Manufacturing Interfaces

You will collaborate with experienced suppliers specialized in Plastic molding, Painting and coating processes, Assembly technologies (manual and automated), Prototyping (rapid and production‑grade), Mechanical test facilities.

This requires an engineer who is comfortable discussing tolerances, materials, process constraints, and manufacturability directly with external partners.
