Do you want to own the hardware behind the next generation of robotic workmates? Join the team shaping the future of warehouse automation.

At Rebl Industries, we build robotic workmates that companies subscribe to instead of buying. Our robots are deployed within weeks, improve continuously, and take over repetitive, heavy, and precision-demanding tasks. Through our Robot-as-a-Service model, we make automation more flexible, scalable, and accessible for companies looking to modernize without the traditional complexity or large upfront investment. We’re a fast-growing scale-up operating at the intersection of robotics, AI, software, and industrial production. As our product portfolio and number of deployments grow, we are now looking for a Hardware Lead to bring our mechanical and electrical design together across teams.

What you will do

As Hardware Lead at Rebl, you will work horizontally across our cross-functional product teams and take overall ownership of hardware - mechanical design, electrical design, and component selection. You make sure that what we build is safe, durable over time, easy to manufacture, and easy to repair and maintain, while keeping the total cost of ownership low. In a Robot-as-a-Service model, where we own and operate the hardware throughout its life, these qualities make a direct difference.

You will develop new solutions together with our automation engineers and be a key point of contact for our hardware suppliers and engineering subcontractors. Your responsibilities include:

• Leading mechanical design, electrical design, and component selection across multiple product teams
• Ensuring designs are safe, durable, manufacturable, serviceable, and cost-effective over their full life cycle
• Creating common hardware solutions and standards that the teams can reuse rather than reinvent
• Driving innovation together with automation engineers, from early concepts and prototyping to deployment
• Managing ongoing relationships with hardware suppliers and subcontractors within design, electrical systems, and mechanics

This is an on-site technical leadership role without direct reports where you will lead the work of contractors across disciplines. You will report to the CTO and be part of the Platform Team.

What we’re looking for

• Master’s or Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automation & Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field
• Minimum 8 years of experience designing mechatronic systems
• Experience with hardware common in logistics and industrial automation, such as industrial robots, safety equipment, industrial PCs, PLCs and networks, sensors and cameras, conveyors, pneumatics, and drive systems
• Experience designing to industrial standards and regulations
• Solid, hands‑on experience managing supplier relationships and working with subcontractors within design, electrical systems, and mechanics
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills in both Swedish and English

Your mindset

You enjoy working across several products at once and thrive on balancing input from many different stakeholders. You move easily between the holistic view - seeing how the whole system fits together - and digging into the smallest details when it matters.

You are curious and open to working innovatively with AI, and you are not afraid to challenge traditional ways of working in hardware development. You are also happy to travel, a few days per month, both within Sweden and across Europe.

Why Rebl Industries

At Rebl Industries, you become part of a highly skilled and ambitious team where your contribution has immediate impact. You will help shape the future of robotic automation - not in theory, but through real deployments, real customers, and real industrial challenges. As we scale into new markets and new applications, your designs and technical decisions will define the hardware platform our robots are built on.
