Job description

Robeautéis developing a microrobotic platform designed to navigate the brain for diagnosis and treatment. Since 2017, we have filed more than 50 patents, tested our technology in living animals, and raised €27M from Plural, Cherry Ventures, Kindred Ventures, and Brainlab.

As our Product Engineers move from the generic platform to clinical applications, we are looking for aSenior Mechanical Engineerto own the mechanical systems supporting our microrobots.

You will lead the development of our CAP systems, the MOM console, and manipulation tools such as the cannula, from a mechanical perspective.

What You'll Do

• Own the mechanical architecture of the microrobot support platform.
• Lead development of specific solutions through prototyping, testing, verification, and design transfer.
• Manage interfaces with the microrobot, instruments, electronics, tracking, and surgical workflow.
• Create robust designs, manufacturable at scale, usable, and compatible with regulatory and sterilization constraints.
• Maintain CAD, drawings, specifications, bills of materials, design rationale, and test documentation and perform tolerances analysis where applicable.
• Contribute to risk management, design reviews and change control process.
• Lead mechanical root-cause investigations during bench, usability, and preclinical testing.
• Manage external design and manufacturing partners while retaining internal technical ownership in your field.

Experience

• Engineering or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics or equivalent.
• 8+ years developing complex mechanical or mechatronic products from concept through verification and industrialization including 4+ years experience in medical devices (surgical robotics or interventional systems are preferred).
• Strong experience of mechanical architecture, CAD, tolerance analysis, materials, manufacturing, and prototype testing.
• Experience with multidisciplinary systems combining mechanics, electronics, sensors, software, or robotics.
• Hands-on knowledge of design controls, risk management, V&V, and change control.
• Experience managing prototyping and manufacturing suppliers.
• Fluent English; French is a plus.

Valued:experience with surgical instruments, catheters or cannulas, sterilization, ISO 13485, ISO 14971, IEC 60601, FDA design controls, EU MDR.

How you work

• You take ownership of technical outcomes.
• You combine systems thinking with hands-on engineering.
• You make clear decisions in ambiguous, fast moving environments.
• You communicate precisely and align multidisciplinary teams.
• You know when to iterate quickly and when rigor and documentation are essential.

• Meaningful mission:Help build technology intended to transform the diagnosis and treatment of neurological diseases.
• World-first engineering:Work at the frontier of microrobotics, medical devices, and neurotechnology.
• Real ownership:Become the internal technical owner of a critical product platform.
• Exceptional team:Work with ambitious engineers, clinicians, and researchers.
• Benefits:60% health insurance coverage, €9.25 daily meal vouchers covered at 60%, and 50% transportation reimbursement.
