Descrizione del lavoro

Leva is seeking a proactive Mechatronics Engineer to turn creative motion concepts into working electromechanical installations. You’ll cover architecture, component selection, prototyping, and on-site commissioning with broad cross-functional collaboration.

You will own motion systems from architecture through workshop validation, coordinating with embedded firmware and electronics teams to ensure robust performance. On-site testing and international travel are part of the role.

Competenze

• Demonstrable ownership of an electromechanical or motion-control system you designed and tested.
• Experience selecting and sizing motors, actuators, and drives with sound engineering reasoning.
• Hands-on experience with servo tuning or coordinated motion validation.
• Experience integrating sensors, encoders, I/O, and embedded firmware into physical systems.
• CAD proficiency for mechanisms, mounts, enclosures and test rigs.
• Knowledge of manufacturing processes and design for manufacture/assembly with tolerances and lead times.
• Hands-on rapid prototyping, assembly, wiring, testing and root-cause analysis.
• Ability to define and review electrical requirements and supplier deliverables, even when outsourced.
• Installation and commissioning experience, Turin workshop availability and international travel.
• Professional working proficiency in English for technical collaboration.

Mansioni

• Translate requirements into buildable electromechanical architectures with clear interfaces.
• Select and size motors, actuators, gearboxes, transmissions, drives, encoders and sensors.
• Design, tune and validate single-axis and coordinated motion, including fault handling.
• Collaborate with the embedded engineer to define electronics and firmware interfaces.
• Create CAD models for mechanisms, enclosures, and sensor integration.
• Build and test prototypes using 3D printing and workshop processes.
• Work with technicians during assembly, wiring and testing, resolving issues.
• Define requirements and deliverables for external electrical suppliers.
• Develop documentation, BOMs, test plans and commissioning procedures.
• Support international installation, commissioning and on-site troubleshooting.

Descrizione del lavoro

Take motion from concept to commissioning

At Leva, you will not work on one isolated layer of a system. You will turn a creative idea into a working electromechanical installation, moving across motion architecture, component selection, prototyping, mechanical integration, electronics and firmware interfaces, testing and commissioning.

We are looking for a proactive, hands‑on Mechatronics Engineer who enjoys complex physical systems, makes sound decisions across disciplines and stays accountable for how the complete system performs. You will own real motion systems from the first architecture choices through workshop validation and on-site delivery.

In this role you will

• Translate creative and functional requirements into buildable electromechanical architectures, with clear interfaces between mechanics, electronics and control systems.
• Select and size motors, actuators, gearboxes, transmissions, drives, brakes, encoders and sensors.
• Design, tune and validate single-axis and coordinated motion, including motion profiles, homing, operating limits, fault handling and recovery.
• Work closely with our embedded engineer to define requirements and interfaces for custom electronics and firmware, debug integration issues and validate system performance.
• Create practical mechanical designs and CAD models for mechanisms, mounts, enclosures, sensor integration, cable routing and test rigs.
• Build and test prototypes using 3D printing, workshop processes and representative hardware to resolve technical uncertainties early.
• Collaborate with technicians during assembly, wiring and testing, investigating failures and turning findings into robust design improvements.
• Define and review requirements and deliverables for external electrical suppliers, including cabinet design, schematics and wiring.
• Develop technical documentation, bills of materials, test plans and commissioning procedures, with clear acceptance criteria.
• Support international installation, commissioning, handover and troubleshooting of the systems you design.

Must have

• Demonstrable ownership of an electromechanical or motion‑control system that you personally helped design, build and functionally test.
• Practical experience selecting and sizing motors, actuators, transmissions and drives, supported by sound engineering reasoning.
• Hands‑on experience with servo tuning or the implementation and validation of coordinated motion.
• Experience integrating sensors, encoders, I/O, custom electronics and embedded firmware into working physical systems.
• Mechanical design and CAD proficiency for system integration, prototypes and test equipment.
• Knowledge of manufacturing processes and design for manufacture and assembly, with attention to tolerances, serviceability, cost and lead times.
• Hands‑on experience with rapid prototyping, assembly, wiring, testing and root‑cause analysis.
• The ability to define and review electrical requirements and supplier deliverables, even when detailed electrical design is outsourced.
• Installation and commissioning experience, availability for workshop integration in Turin and willingness to travel internationally.
• Professional working proficiency in English for technical collaboration and documentation.

Key skills

• Systems thinking: understand how mechanics, electronics and firmware interact, and make decisions based on the performance of the complete system.
• Technical ownership: propose solutions, explain your reasoning and follow decisions through prototyping, validation and commissioning.
• Practical problem solving: isolate root causes on real hardware, test assumptions and use evidence to improve the design.
• Engineering judgement: balance performance, safety, reliability and maintainability against cost, schedule and manufacturing constraints.
• Cross‑disciplinary collaboration: work effectively with embedded engineers, mechanical designers, technicians and external suppliers.
• Proactivity and adaptability: turn incomplete requirements into workable solutions, identify risks early and refine your approach as the project develops.
• Clear technical communication: document interfaces, decisions and test results so others can build, operate and maintain what you design.
• Additional technical skills: experience with PLC platforms, industrial communication networks, functional safety or diagnostic tools is a plus. Leva primarily uses custom motion‑control electronics and firmware, so hands‑on system integration remains the core requirement.

As a reference, compensation for mid‑level profiles typically starts at around €32,000 RAL + benefits package. For senior candidates with strong and directly relevant experience, the offer may increase up to €42,000 RAL + benefits package.

That said, we are keen to keep the conversation open with talented people. Final compensation will be defined base
