Jobbeschreibung

We are hiring a Mechanical Engineer

Start date: ASAP

Zürich, Switzerland (on-site, remote not possible)

Full-time (100%)

Your role

You’ll ideate, design, manufacture, and deploy core mechanical systems on our robot. By joining the first team in the world desiging from first principles how a robot should clean commercial spaces, you are going to heavily rely on your creativity and determination to solve problems in unconventional ways.

What you’ll be doing:

• Build custom electromechanical systems from a robot arm and grippers to automatic tool changers, to a docking station
• Build cleaning-specific mechanical systems like cleaning end-effector tools and fluid systems
• Drive our HIL testing efforts to prove effectiveness and durability of our mechanical systems
• Contribute to the industrialization efforts required to manufacture hundreds of robots

You

What you should have:

• 3+ years in a professional Mechanical Engineering environment, preferably Robotics, Automotive, or Aerospace
• Strong CAD modeling experience (e.g. Onshape)
• Experience with metals and plastics manufacturing processes
• Experience in robotics actuation systems (e.g. BLDC motors, gearboxes, encoders, torque sensors)
• Experience in fluid systems (e.g. water pumps, valves, nozzles)
• Experience writing basic software for test benches independently (Python, C++)

These skills are a plus:

• Experience building custom PCBs
• You have built articulated robots before (e.g. a robot arm or robot leg, quadruped, humanoid)
• You have contributed building a hardware product shipped in the hundreds of units to customers
