Job Description:

The “Engineer, Mechatronics V&V” plays a key operational role in the company’s Rovereto Technology Center laboratory, which represents a strategic asset for technology development, verification, and validation. The position combines hands‑on laboratory testing with mechanical design responsibilities, including the development of prototype components and custom test bench fixtures using CAD tools.

The engineer manages verification and validation activities end-to-end, from Test Request review and test definition to setup implementation, execution, data analysis, and reporting. In addition to technical testing responsibilities, the role actively contributes to the effective day‑to‑day management of the laboratory, supporting equipment logistics, workspace organization, 5S implementation, and HSE compliance.

Operating within a highly skilled, multidisciplinary engineering team, the position involves frequent interaction with multiple company functions and organizational levels, including leadership, and directly supports informed decision‑making throughout the product development lifecycle.

• Support and independently manage verification and validation activities for mechanical, hydraulic and mechatronic components within the Technology Center laboratory
• Review and assess Test Requests, ensuring clarity, technical feasibility, and alignment with project requirements
• Define test concepts, methodologies, and procedures, including objectives, test conditions, and acceptance criteria
• Design mechanical components, prototypes, and custom test bench fixtures using CAD tools, ensuring manufacturability and alignment with workshop capabilities
• Implement and assemble laboratory test setups, coordinating with internal workshops and relevant stakeholders as needed
• Execute laboratory tests in compliance with defined procedures, safety rules, and quality standards
• Collect, process, and analyze test data using appropriate data analysis tools
• Prepare clear, structured, and technically sound test reports, submitting results for review and approval to the Lab Manager
• Play a key operational role in the correct day‑to‑day management of the laboratory, including equipment logistics, workspace organization, and 5S implementation
• Actively contribute to Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) compliance, ensuring safe working conditions and adherence to applicable procedures and regulations
• Collaborate closely with cross‑functional teams (e.g. R&D, Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality) to support product development and validation activities

• Opportunity to work within a highly skilled, multidisciplinary Engineering team, fostering continuous technical learning and knowledge exchange
• Active involvement in a Technology Center laboratory recognized as a strategic asset for technology development, verification, and validation
• Frequent interaction with multiple company functions (e.g. R&D, Procurement, Manufacturing, Quality) and exposure to different organizational levels, including leadership
• High level of hands‑on responsibility, managing verification and validation activities end‑to‑end and contributing directly to technical decision‑making
• Opportunity to influence laboratory effectiveness through continuous improvement of test setups, workflows, 5S practices, and HSE compliance
• Challenge of balancing technical rigor, safety, and quality standards with project timelines, priorities, and resource constraints
• Requirement to operate autonomously in a dynamic environment, maintaining strong ownership of both testing outcomes and laboratory operations
