Job Description

About Us LPS is a laser tech company dedicated to providing efficient rail cleaning solutions through innovation, collaboration, and commitment to quality. Our team is a mix of experienced professionals in software development and engineering, dedicated to addressing real-world challenges in the Rail Industry. We are recognized for pioneering solutions that specifically target critical challenges faced by rail networks during Autumn, significantly improving operational safety and efficiency. A recent milestone was boosting the cleaning speeds of our 'LaserTrain' to 60mph, reducing downtime, and enhancing overall safety for a more reliable transportation system. Currently operating in the USA, we have ambitious plans for the upcoming years to expand the LaserTrain fleet globally. Simultaneously, we will prioritize the development of a new product, the Track Contamination Detector. Joining our team means your opinions matter, and your ideas and decisions directly impact the overall success of our projects and initiatives. About The Role Location: Amsterdam, Netherlands Team Size: 7 | Reports to: Ioannis Papadimitriou Visa Requirements: You have an EU passport or can travel to the EU, UK and USA LaserTrain's mechanical installation on the train bogie faces a unique set of challenges: tight space, rough conditions (think 100g shocks and rain) and varied bogie types among train operators. We strive to standardize as much as possible, but innovation demands adaptability. Our aim is to invest in rapid prototyping and simulations to ensure a seamless transition when updating LaserTrain models so that they are be primed and ready from day one. As a Mechanical Engineer with LPS, you'll be essential in testing and simulating new designs, ensuring the reliability of LaserTrain's, and managing their installation and operation. Given that autumn is our peak season, you'll have the opportunity to visit clients in the US or Europe for two months each year, observing our products in action and providing valuable support in maintenance. Responsibilities Designing, building, simulating, and testing various LaserTrain design variations. Implementing quality control (QC) for mechanical systems. Supporting certification processes for EU LaserTrain models. Installing and maintaining LaserTrain's at client sites (USA/EU) during the autumn. Requirements Completed a technical education in Mechanical Engineering. Comfortable and adept at independently solving mechanical engineering challenges Demonstrated proficiency in CAD software for mechanical systems, specifically AutoCAD Inventor Demonstrated expertise in simulation software, including Ansys Mechanical, Fluent, and Inventor Simulation Familiarity with systems engineering and certification processes. Ability to articulate solutions to team members outside of your field. Clear and effective communication skills in English; French is an advantage.
