Job description

We are helping our client find a Mechatronics Engineer to support the integration, testing, and troubleshooting of complex electromechanical systems in a hands-on hardware development lab.

In this role, you'll work across mechanical, electrical, and firmware systems to build, integrate, and bring up functional hardware. You'll participate in the full hardware development lifecycle, from design and component sourcing through assembly, testing, and iterative improvements. Your builds, demonstrations, and technical work will also contribute to training AI systems to better understand hands-on physical tasks.

The ideal candidate brings practical mechatronics experience, strong cross-disciplinary troubleshooting skills, and the ability to independently work through complex hardware integration challenges.

Recording & Data Collection Notice

• This role involves recording your work to support AI training and development.
• Lab cameras and screen recording on your work device will capture your activities.
• Depending on the project, you may also be asked to wear sensors, such as motion trackers or pressure-sensing gloves, that collect biometric data.
• Before starting, you'll receive details about the recording and data collection requirements specific to your role, how your data will be protected, and the consent process.

As a Mechatronics Engineer, you'll:

• Integrate mechanical, electrical, and firmware components into functional hardware systems and subsystems.
• Support initial system power-up, firmware flashing, and configuration in collaboration with the hardware team.
• Diagnose and troubleshoot issues spanning mechanical, electrical, and firmware systems.
• Use Linux and Python to operate, test, and validate hardware systems at the bench.
• Use standard hand tools, multimeters, oscilloscopes, bench power supplies, and firmware flashing tools to support system assembly and troubleshooting.
• Review written and on-screen work instructions, identify inaccuracies, and provide feedback to improve technical documentation.

motor tuning; prior builds of actuated mechanisms or mobile platforms.

Daily tasks

Integrate mechanical, electrical and firmware pieces into a working hardware system or subsystem. Take new builds through first power-up with the hardware team, and flash and configure firmware. Debug problems that cross mechanical, electrical and firmware boundaries. Work on Linux and Python at the bench to run and check the system.

Required skills

2+ years of hands-on mechatronics or electromechanical systems work. Has built and brought up a full electromechanical system, including its firmware. Mechanical and electrical skills at a working level; comfortable with Linux and Python.
