Mechanical Engineer/ Technician (m/f/d) Robotics

About the role

We are looking for a motivated and skilled Hardware / Mechanical Engineer (m/f/d) As part of this team, you will contribute to both supporting existing robotic platforms and developing next-generation prototypes for high-degree-of-freedom (high-DOF) robotic systems. In this role, you will ensure reliable operation of our robotic systems, while also designing and implementing robust mechanisms that meet the demands of cutting-edge applications. Success in this position requires a combination of technical expertise, hands-on problem-solving, and the ability to adapt in a fast-paced, uncertain environment.

Your Responsibilities

Design and develop complex robotic mechanisms, ensuring high precision, reliability, and manufacturability (from drawing to finished part)

Create detailed CAD models, technical drawings, and assembly documentation for production

Prototype mechanical parts using 3D printing and workshop tools

Support assembly and integration of mechatronic systems, including basic electrical wiring and component installation

Conduct testing and commissioning of robotic systems and ensure smooth operation

Collaborate with cross-functional teams (electrical, software, manufacturing) to ensure seamless system integration

Troubleshoot and resolve mechanical issues during development and production phases

Stay updated with emerging technologies and best practices in robotics and mechanical design

Work autonomously on open-ended, evolving tasks

Essential Skills

Proficiency in CAD software (SolidWorks preferred, knowledge of PDM systems is a plus)

Hands-on experience with mechanical assembly, prototyping, and electrical wiring

Practical workshop skills: 3D printing, CNC machining, laser cutting, drill press

Strong knowledge of mechanical design principles (kinematics, dynamics, tolerances, manufacturability)

Comfortable working independently and in cross-functional teams

Self-motivated, reliable, and solution-oriented mindset

Fluent in English; German or Chinese skills are a plus

Flexibility to travel occasionally for customer installations and support

Beneficial Skills

Experience in robotics, automation, or system integration

Knowledge of electronics, sensors, and camera systems (e.g., ZED, Intel RealSense)

Familiarity with technical standards and compliance in robotics/mechatronics

Your Profile

Degree or technical training in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related field

Strong problem-solving and analytical thinking skills

Self-driven with a passion for cutting-edge robotics technology

Detail-oriented with a focus on robust system design

Adaptable to a dynamic, fast-paced development cycle
