Senior Electro-Mechanical R&D Engineer

Sécheron Hasler Group, a Swiss‑heritage company with more than 140 years in railway technology, supplies electrical safety components, traction power systems and solutions for renewable energy, DC grids and other industrial applications. The Geneva office is seeking a senior electro‑mechanical R&D engineer to join its global team of over 1 300 employees. In this position you will translate advanced concepts into manufacturable, cost‑effective and robust designs, while reviewing and challenging drawings created by others. You will act as a reference point and mentor for robust‑design practices, collaborate with several departments to support existing products, and apply hands‑on skills for experimental assembly and testing of complex, multi‑physical systems. The role requires a Master’s or PhD in mechanical engineering, micro‑technics, mechatronics or a related field. Essential expertise includes tolerance management, design‑to‑cost, robust‑design methodology and finite‑element analysis using tools such as SolidWorks, COMSOL or ANSYS. You must be comfortable developing intricate systems that combine electrical, mechanical and magnetic technologies, and have a solid understanding of machining processes and material properties (plastics, thermosets). Fluency in English is mandatory; knowledge of French or German is a plus. Familiarity with ISO GD&T, functional analysis, FMEA and basic power‑electronics concepts is also required. The Geneva location offers a flat hierarchy and direct communication across all levels, enabling swift decision‑making. Employees enjoy full responsibility for their tasks, are encouraged to take initiative and have clear pathways for personal and career development within a culture that values operational excellence.
