# Design for Manufacturing Engineer

About Bota Systems Bota Systems AG is a Zürich-based ETH spin-off building high-precision 6-axis force-torque, torque and tactile sensors - a sensing platform for physical AI. As robot OEMs, integrators and humanoid companies move to volume, our sensors must be as easy and cheap to build as they are precise. We are hiring a Design for Manufacturing (DFM) Engineer to be the bridge between R&D and production. The role You make sure every sensor we design can be built reliably, at scale and at the lowest cost - from the first sketch to the part arriving at our incoming inspection. Key responsibilities Design for manufacturing Co-design our sensors with the mechanical design team so they are easier and cheaper to manufacture and assemble. Collect feedback from production and turn it into concrete design changes. Give structured DFM feedback to mechanical design engineers on tolerances, materials, part count and assembly. Perform FEM analysis to verify structural integrity of parts and assemblies. Drawings, jigs and tools Create and review manufacturing drawings (GD&T, tolerances, surface finish) ready for manufacturing. Design jigs, fixtures and tools that speed up production and impro
