Founding Mechatronics Engineer – Robotic Hardware & Design for Manufacturing

AI Futures; München; Vor Ort; EUR 70.000 - 100.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Ai Futures in Munich is seeking a Senior Mechatronics Engineer to take robotics platforms from prototype to scalable production. You will own mechanical design, electromechanical integration and manufacturing processes, working closely with the Head of Hardware.

You will redesign robotic arms, optimise a welded base, develop gripper mechanisms and build an in-house assembly line with fixtures, jigs, work instructions and quality controls.

Qualifikationen

• 3–5 years' experience designing mechanical and electromechanical systems that have reached production.
• Background in robotics, robotic arms, mobile robots, industrial automation or automotive.
• Strong CAD skills and experience with design for manufacturing, including sheet metal, welded structures, machining, 3D printing and tolerancing.
• Experience taking prototypes into repeatable manufacturing processes and creating assembly documentation.
• Practical experience with machine tools, 3D printers and hands-on mechanical assembly.
• Comfortable working across electrical integration, including wiring, motors and sensors.

Aufgaben

• Redesign robotic arm structures around existing motors and gearboxes, improving stiffness, assembly and manufacturability.
• Finalise the design of a welded steel robot base, optimising for in-house manufacturing and rapid installation.
• Develop and improve gripper mechanisms based on real-world customer applications.
• Build an in-house assembly line, including fixtures, jigs, work instructions and quality control processes.
• Own mechanical and electrical integration, including cable routing, connector placement and strain relief.
• Take mechanical designs from CAD through prototyping, testing and repeatable production.

Jobbeschreibung

We’re partnering with a growth-stage robotics company developing commercially deployed robotic systems, and they’re looking for a Senior Mechatronics Engineer to take their existing robots from working prototypes to repeatable, scalable production.

This is a highly hands-on engineering role, working directly alongside the Head of Hardware, with ownership across mechanical design, electromechanical integration and manufacturing processes.

The Role

• Redesign robotic arm structures around existing motors and gearboxes, improving stiffness, assembly and manufacturability.
• Finalise the design of a welded steel robot base, optimising for in-house manufacturing and rapid installation.
• Develop and improve gripper mechanisms based on real-world customer applications.
• Build an in-house assembly line, including fixtures, jigs, work instructions and quality control processes.
• Own mechanical and electrical integration, including cable routing, connector placement and strain relief.
• Take mechanical designs from CAD through prototyping, testing and repeatable production.

What We’re Looking For

• 3–5 years' experience designing mechanical and electromechanical systems that have reached production.
• Background in robotics, robotic arms, mobile robots, industrial automation or automotive.
• Strong CAD skills and experience with design for manufacturing, including sheet metal, welded structures, machining, 3D printing and tolerancing.
• Experience taking prototypes into repeatable manufacturing processes and creating assembly documentation.
• Practical experience with machine tools, 3D printers and hands-on mechanical assembly.
• Comfortable working across electrical integration, including wiring, motors and sensors.

Nice to Have

• Actuator and gearbox design experience.
• FEA and structural stiffness analysis.
• Experience with European or Chinese suppliers and sourcing.
• Driving licence.

What’s On Offer

• Direct ownership of the mechanical design and manufacturing process.
• Close collaboration with the Head of Hardware.
• Hands-on access to robotic hardware throughout the development process.
• The opportunity to take a commercially deployed robotic product into scalable production.
• A varied engineering role combining CAD, prototyping, testing and manufacturing.
