Full Job Description
OUR VISION When people use our technology to "bridge the gap" between the physical and digital worlds, they don’t just capture reality - they create a new one. In this new reality, they are smarter, more productive, more streamlined, and more creative - because they have the digital foundation to build the world they want to live in. That’s what NavVis offers in all our products and services: the tools to not just map the world as it is, but to pave the way to a better future. To forge something new. Physical or digital, there is only one reality. And it’s the reality NavVis empowers people to build better. THE OPPORTUNITY NavVis creates mobile mapping devices that capture the physical world in high-fidelity 3D. The Mechanical Engineering team transforms concepts into tested, production-ready hardware, managing the full product lifecycle from prototyping to serial production. As an Associate Mechanical Engineer, you will bring designs to life by printing, building, assembling, testing, and iterating on the mechanical systems powering our devices. You will join a small, collaborative mechanical engineering team in Munich and work closely with senior engineers who lead complex design work. Your focus will be hands-on execution: building prototypes, constructing and running test rigs, and handling medium-complexity design tasks. Your contributions will be visible from day one, with a clear growth path toward greater ownership, self-organization, and technical depth. HOW YOU WILL MAKE AN IMPACT Build, assemble, and rework mechanical prototypes and sub-assemblies, turning CAD designs from senior engineers into physical hardware ready for evaluation Design, construct, and operate test setups, rigs, and fixtures (for example, IP testing rigs) to validate mechanical performance against defined requirements Execute and document structured test campaigns, delivering clear results that inform design decisions and uncover issues early Contribute medium-complexity CAD design tas
