Mechanical Engineer

Who we are ?

At Kickmaker, we don’t just make products;

We bring bold ideas to life.

We’re a crew of 300+ engineers & experts (aka “Kickers”) obsessed with turning prototypes into reality, from robotics to medical devices to the next-gen consumer gadgets. We move fast, think big, and keep it eco-conscious.

We work with the dreamers and the disruptors - from fresh startups to global industry leaders - and we make sure innovation stays true to its purpose and values.

We’re growing our US Mechanical Engineering team :

The role involves mechanical design, prototyping, and testing of subassemblies that integrate actuators, motors, and electronics into high-performance robotic mechanisms.

You will collaborate with electrical and software engineers to bring mechanical concepts to life ; from CAD to bench testing to working robots.

What you’ll do

- Design and develop mechanical systems for actuators, robotic joints, and assemblies.

- Perform motor sizing, wiring layout, and thermal management for compact electromechanical systems.

- Create detailed 3D and 2D designs using SolidWorks / PTC Creo, ensuring GD&T compliance for manufacturability.

- Participate in bench testing, validation, and iterative improvement of actuator and robot prototypes.

- Work with manufacturing partners on aluminum die casting, machining, and assembly processes.

- Integrate sensors, motors, and control electronics within mechanical designs.

- Support automation and system integration during robotic builds.

What you bring

- Strong background in mechanical + mechatronic design

- Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or Automation…

- 2-5 years of hands-on design and prototyping experience in robotics or similar fields.

- Experience with actuators, motion systems, and sensors Knowledge of thermal and wiring constraints

- Hands-on mindset, you like bench testing and iteration

- Proficient with SolidWorks / Creo / GD&T
