**Job Overview

**As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you will have technical ownership of the mechanical design of laser products and related subsystems. You will work hands-on with the development of robust, opto-mechanical solutions, covering the full lifecycle from early concepts and prototypes to qualification and manufacturing release. The role requires strong technical judgment, practical engineering skills, and the ability to translate requirements into manufacturable designs.

You will be part of the mechanical engineering team in Denmark, working in cross-functional product development projects within a global organization. You will collaborate closely with optical and electronics engineers, suppliers, and manufacturing to ensure technically sound and high-quality solutions.

NKT Photonics offers a supportive working environment with a strong focus on both professional development and work-life balance. We continue to invest in our facilities, tools, and teams to support long-term growth.

  • Design precision mechanical and opto-mechanical components including creation of 3D models and 2D manufacturing drawings.
  • Support prototype assembly, functional testing, and product qualification.
  • Support manufacturing of existing laser products, custom orders, and continuous product improvement.
  • Ensure product compliance and certification according to relevant standards.
  • Contribute to manufacturing release and production ramp-up.
  • Work with purchasing and suppliers to identify cost-effective manufacturing solutions for parts and subassemblies, including sourcing and qualifications of new suppliers.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
