Senior Mechanical Engineer (Zürich, 100%)

The role

You will ideate, design, manufacture, and deploy core mechanical systems on a robot. This includes building electromechanical systems, cleaning-specific systems, and driving HIL testing efforts.

What you will do

• Build custom electromechanical systems from a robot arm and grippers to automatic tool changers, to a docking station
• Build cleaning-specific mechanical systems like cleaning end-effector tools and fluid systems
• Drive HIL testing efforts to prove effectiveness and durability of mechanical systems
• Contribute to industrialization efforts required to manufacture hundreds of robots

Required qualifications

• 3+ years in a professional Mechanical Engineering environment
• Strong CAD modeling experience (e.g. Onshape)
• Experience with metals and plastics manufacturing processes
• Experience in robotics actuation systems (e.g. BLDC motors, gearboxes, encoders, torque sensors)
• Experience in fluid systems (e.g. water pumps, valves, nozzles)

Nice to have

• Experience in Robotics, Automotive, or Aerospace
• Experience building custom PCBs
• You have built articulated robots before (e.g. a robot arm or robot leg, quadruped, humanoid)
• You have contributed building a hardware product shipped in the hundreds of units to customers
• Experience writing basic software for test benches independently (Python, C++)
