Mechanical Engineer (f/m/d)

For our location in
Freiburg im Breisgau, we are looking for a Mechanical Engineer (f/m/d) to
strengthen our Design Engineering team. 

At NexWafe, we are
redefining how silicon wafers are manufactured. Our innovative epitaxial wafer
technology reduces process steps, energy consumption, and CO₂
emissions, setting a new benchmark for sustainable photovoltaic production. 

As a Mechanical
Engineer (f/m/d), you will be at the interface between simulation, design, and manufacturing. Your mission will be to convert simulation results into robust and manufacturable designs, creating functional showerhead systems for our next-generation production tools.

Through close collaboration with process engineers, suppliers, and internal stakeholders, you will contribute directly to the advancement of NexWafe's groundbreaking wafer manufacturing technology.

Join our
international team and help drive the transition toward a more sustainable
energy future.
