Job description

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
  • Business-fluent in English and Chinese, both spoken and written

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

What we offer

  • A dynamic high-tech company, combined with financial soundness and world-class investors.
  • Join an interdisciplinary, international team with 60+ different nationalities in a collaborative work environment.
  • Lots of development opportunities as we continue to grow.
  • Challenging tasks and impactful projects alongside experts that enable professional and personal growth.
  • Corporate Benefits Program covering health, mobility, and learning for 100€ net per month.
  • Modern office facilities with a rooftop terrace overlooking Munich, free drinks & fruits, and regular company events contribute to a good working environment
