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
