At Imperix, we pride ourselves on being a young and dynamic team of approximately 35 people, conveniently located just a short walk from the train station in Sion.

JOB DESCRIPTION

As part of our engineering team, which primarily consists of electrical and power electronics engineers, you will gradually become our primary mechanical specialist and take full ownership of most mechanical designs across our product line. Your role will focus on bridging mechanical design and electrical systems, particularly in enclosure design, high-current or high-voltage wiring, and system-level cabinet integration.

In this position, you will operate with a high degree of autonomy, presenting a unique opportunity to build, structure, and grow the role as Imperix continues to expand. Your work will directly impact our development of higher-power, higher-energy systems while maintaining the modular approach that characterizes our company.

RESPONSIBILITIES AND MAIN DUTIES

• Lead 3D mechanical modeling and technical drafting in SolidWorks for product enclosures, sub-assemblies, and customized cabinet integrations.
• Design custom sheet metal housings, molded or extruded enclosures, and internal mounting or busbar structures.
• Collaborate with electrical engineers on the design of high-voltage systems, considering insulation distances, shielding, and thermal management constraints.
• Produce manufacturing packages, 2D drawings, assembly instructions, and Bill of Materials (BOMs) for manufacturers.
• Coordinate prototype manufacturing and manage suppliers for all mechanical projects.
• Build, assemble, and test mechanical prototypes in our workshop.

REQUIREMENTS AND QUALIFICATIONS

Education and Experience

BSc or MSc degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field. Seniority: Junior (0-3 years), with hands-on CAD and prototyping experience.

Technical Skills

Proficiency with SolidWorks and an understanding of manufacturing processes.

Language

Good command of English, both written and spoken. Other languages are a plus.

THIS POSITION WILL SUIT YOU IF

• You appreciate a young and friendly environment that is also rigorous and demanding.
• You are looking for a role that encompasses entire projects, from 3D CAD modeling to prototyping and manufacturing.
• You enjoy being part of a multidisciplinary team and are curious about electrical systems.
• You are self-motivated and eager to become a reference point for mechanical design.
• You possess the ability to learn independently and collaborate effectively within a team.
