Mechanical Designer of Integrated Technological and Sensor Systems

RINA is currently recruiting for a
Mechanical Designer of Integrated Technological and Sensor Systems
to join its office in Roma within the
Mechanical and Materials Engineering
Division.

Mission
We are looking for a
Mechanical-Mechatronic Designer
with strong expertise in
integrating mechanical systems with advanced sensors (optical, laser, etc.), electronic boards, and motion control solutions
. The ideal candidate has at least three years of experience in the design and development of integrated technological systems incorporating advanced sensors and electronics. The workplace will be in Rome.

Key Accountabilities

• Design and develop complex mechanical systems for advanced industrial applications (e.g. in-line quality inspection solutions of the products), with a focus on challenging environments requiring high precision, durability, and integration with electronics and sensors (optical, laser, thermal, etc.).
• Independently define innovative design solutions ensuring compactness, robustness, and ease of integration with electronics and automation.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams (electronics, software, automation, and data science) to integrate servo-assisted systems, electric motors, and PLC-controlled motion.
• Optimize designs to ensure compliance with requirements for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), thermal management, vibration isolation, and environmental protection (IP rating, shock, vibration, temperature, humidity, corrosion).
• Prepare detailed technical documentation (2D/3D drawings, material specifications and bills of materials).
• Support in prototyping, testing, and industrialization phases, ensuring continuous improvement.

Education
Master's Degree in Mechanical Studies or Mechanical Engineering

Qualifications

• Master's degree in Mechatronics Engineering or Mechanical Engineering with strong experience in sensors integrations.
• Proven experience in designing mechanical systems for complex industrial environments, with a particular focus on quality inspection systems and advanced sensor technologies.
• Knowledge of motion control systems (servo motors, actuators, etc.) and PLC programming basics.
• Proficiency in 3D CAD software (Creo, SolidWorks CATIA or equivalent).
• Knowledge of mechanical design principles and proficiency in structural sizing using analytical methods of structural mechanics and machine design. Nice to have: experience with FEM/CFD simulations for structural or thermal optimization.
• Skills in design for additive manufacturing and traditional machining processes (CNC, molding, die casting, etc.).
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently in complex projects.

Competencies

• ADDRESS THE WAY - Have a big picture of different situations and reinterpret it in a perspective way
• BUILD NETWORK - Forge trust relationships, across departments, and outside the organization
• CLIENT INTIMACY - Embrace internal and external client needs, expectations, and requirements to ensure maximum satisfaction
• EARN TRUST - Take everyone's opinion into account and remain open to diversity
• MAKE EFFECTIVE DECISIONS - Structure activities according to priorities, actions, resources and constraint
• MANAGE EMOTIONS - Recognise one's and other's emotions and express and regulate one's reactions
• PIONEER CHANGE - Actively embrace change and benefit from the new circumstances
• PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT - Promote commitment by keeping promises as a Role Model
• THINK FORWARD - Capitalise on experiences and translate them into action plans for the future
