Senior Mechanical Engineer (m/f/d)

Who We Are:

We build the intelligence that lets robots sense, reason, and act in the real world-moving beyond the lab and into everyday industrial settings like warehouses and factories. Our technology closes the automation gaps that traditional systems can’t solve. We are on a mission to redefine how physical work gets done, and we’re looking for curious, bold thinkers to help shape the future of robotics with us.

Overview:

We are looking for an experienced Senior Mechanical Engineer to lead the design and architecture of innovative systems and components for our AI-driven robots. In this role, you will tackle our most complex mechanical challenges, and take ownership of the product lifecycle from concept to production. You will drive cross-functional collaboration with electrical and software teams, oversee and optimize architectures for scalability, cost, and high-volume manufacturability.

Your Responsibilities:

Design and Testing:

• Lead the design and architectural definition of complex mechanical systems and components for AI-driven robots.

• Create, review, and approve highly detailed 3D models and technical drawings for fabrication, ensuring best practices in GD&T.

• Drive collaboration with engineering teams to ensure seamless system integration and resolve complex cross-disciplinary technical bottlenecks.

• Define and oversee advanced mechanical simulations, reliability testing, and performance validations.

• Optimize mechanical architectures for cost, efficiency, and transition to mass production (DFM/DFA).

Qualifications & Requirements:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Computational Mechanics, Engineering Science or related field.

• 5+ years of experience in mechanical design, ideally in robotics or automation.

• Experience in industrial design or special purpose machinery is a plus

• Proficiency with CAD tools like SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Creo or similar.

• Understanding of mechanical testing and prototyping processes.

• Strong knowledge of material properties, manufacturing methods, and system integration.

• Proven track record of taking hardware products through the entire lifecycle, from initial concept to successful commercial production.

• Willingness to travel ≈ 25% desirable

Skills

• Expert proficiency with CAD tools like SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or similar, as well as PDM/PLM systems.

• Deep understanding of advanced mechanical testing, rapid prototyping, and reliability engineering.

• Strong, expert-level knowledge of material properties, advanced manufacturing methods, and complex system integration.

Our interview plan:

• Application

• Take-home assignment: You’ll work on a short, role-relevant task with clear instructions and a deadline.

• Cultural fit interview (40 min): A conversation about how you work, what motivates you, and what you’re looking for. Expect CV highlights, your “why,” and time for your questions.

• Technical fit interview (45 min): A deeper dive into your skills and problem-solving approach for this role.

• On-site visit: Meet the team in our office and collaborate on a real challenge similar to the work you’d do here. You’ll also meet a founder; we aim to give you a clear feel for the role and environment.

What We Offer:

• Wellpass (gym membership)

• Flexible working hours

• Free Snacks and Beverages

• A motivated team and an open corporate culture

• Competitive compensation and excellent career development opportunities
