As a Mechanical Lead Engineer at IMS, you are responsible for drawing up machine designs based on customer requirements. You translate the customer requirements into a design, set up the test plans and make sure the machine meets all requirements before it goes to the customer.

If one of your Sales colleagues is talking to a new customer, you join in  when the technical content is discussed. Customers often have an abstract idea of what they want: it's up to you to ask the right questions so that the requirements become clear. On this basis, you can make a global 3D design. This design is then refined and adjusted in consultation with the customer, during which you have an advisory role.

If the customer agrees to the design, you will work it out in detail and manage the Engineering team that will create the design. Your focus shifts from the customer to the team: you now mainly take on a coordinating role by explaining what needs to be done and by ensuring that everyone does their job. In the meantime, you make test plans and perform reviews, both internally and for the customer. You are and remain the point of contact for technical questions, which means that your job also involves some project management.  

On average, a project lasts three to six months: during this time, you will work intensively with an Engineering team, the customer and often the R&D team on the customer side. Ideally, the Engineering team consists of a number of Software Engineers, Hardware Engineers and Mechanical Engineers, but this varies per customer and per project.
