Job summary

Agile Robots SE in Munich is seeking a motivated Hardware/Mechanical Engineer (m/f/d) to design and develop complex robotic mechanisms with high precision and reliability. You will create CAD models, drawings, and assembly docs for production, prototype parts with 3D printing, and support mechatronic integration including basic wiring.

The role requires hands-on workshop skills (CNC, laser cutting, 3D printing) and strong problem-solving in a fast-paced environment.

Qualifications

• 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.

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.
• 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.

• 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.
