The function

Barco is seeking a Senior Engineer Mechanics for its Immersive eXperiences Business unit in Kortrijk.

If you're passionate about applying your mechanical engineering expertise to high‑end solid‑state illumination products (laser, LED, phosphor) that set industry standards in projection technology, then this Functie is perfect for you.

You’ll join an international team of enthusiastic developers from België, Noorwegen, China, and USA.

Key responsibilities

We are looking for an experienced Senior Opto‑Mechanical Engineer to lead the design and development of precision opto‑mechanical assemblies for advanced light pipes and light sources, where mechanical tolerances are critical to optical performance.

In this role, you will collaborate closely with optical and mechanical engineers during concept and design phases and work hand‑in‑hand with manufacturing and operations teams to deliver robust, cost‑effective, and scalable solutions for 1‑ and 3‑chip DLP projection systems utilizing laser, LED, and laser‑phosphor illumination technologies.

In this role, you will:

• Design and develop high‑precision opto‑mechanical assemblies for DLP projection systems, including alignment‑sensitive components.
• Translate optical concepts into manufacturable mechanical designs in close collaboration with optical engineering.
• Define and control mechanical tolerances to ensure optical accuracy, thermal stability, and long‑term reliability.
• Design small electro‑mechanical components such as lens‑holder motorization or iris mechanisms, which are integral to the opto‑mechanical features of a projector.
• Clamp optical components using spring‑based mechanisms and calculate optimal spring characteristics to ensure secure and precise Functieing of lenses and mirrors.
• Support prototyping, industrialization, and high‑volume production in partnership with our industrialization and manufacturing teams.
• Drive DFM/DFA (Design for Manufacturing/Assembly) practices and continuous improvement initiatives. Create and manage detailed mechanical designs, drawings, and BOMs using Creo and Windchill.
• Interface with ERP systems for lifecycle management, configuration control, and production readiness.
• Engage with suppliers for component selection, qualification, and technical support.
• Participate in design reviews, root‑cause analysis, and corrective actions.
• Provide maintenance, support, and continuous improvement for existing products.

Profile

• Master's degree in mechanical or electro‑mechanical engineering.
• Proven experience in opto‑mechanical design for projection systems, imaging devices, or optical products.
• Hands‑on experience integrating laser, LED, and laser‑phosphor light sources.
• Proficiency in Creo for 3D modelling and detailed mechanical drawings.
• Experience with Windchill for product data and lifecycle management.
• Familiarity with ERP systems and their role in engineering/manufacturing workflows.
• Solid understanding of mechanical tolerancing, thermal management, and alignment‑critical designs.
• Experience in spring calculation and clamping optical parts such as lens elements and mirrors.
• Experience with small moving mechanical components (mechanical or electronically actuated).
• Experience in key manufacturing processes, including:
• Machining
• Spring characterization
• Ability to run simulations in Pro/ENGINEER and interpret test data (mechanical, thermal, etc…)
• Strong oral and written communication skills in English and/or Dutch.

Soft Skills

• Self‑motivated with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• A good team player and able to work in a multidisciplinary team.
• Proactive, result‑driven, and innovative thinker with analytical skills.
• Detail‑oriented, quality‑conscious, and cost‑aware.
• Willing to travel occasionally to Barco Locaties, suppliers, or customers worldwide.

You will work in an open and international culture.

In this stimulating and challenging environment, we offer you competitive compensation and benefits, including:

• A competitive salary package based on experience
• Bonus system
• Group insurance
• Health insurance
• Continuous learning opportunities.
