Mechatronics and Hardware Test Engineer (m/f/d)

This position involves creating and constructing mechanical test rigs and fixtures to validate robot prototypes and subassemblies. The role requires executing these tests, analyzing the resulting data, and communicating findings to the broader engineering group. You will also maintain detailed records of test procedures and outcomes while seeking ways to enhance the efficiency and reliability of current testing methods. Additionally, the job entails investigating quality issues to identify their root causes and assisting the production team in resolving test-related problems. Candidates need a degree in mechanical engineering or a similar technical discipline. The role demands industry experience in testing and analyzing mechatronic systems, along with proficiency in mechanical design using software like SolidWorks or 3DEXPERIENCE. Hands-on laboratory skills, such as drilling and assembly, are necessary, as is familiarity with force and torque sensors. While not mandatory, experience with test automation via Python or PLC programming is beneficial. Knowledge of industrial communication interfaces like CAN, SPI, OPC UA, or EtherCAT, as well as Linux or Unix environments, is also considered an asset. The advertisement does not specify any language requirements, working arrangements, or shift patterns. This opportunity is suitable for engineers who enjoy bridging the gap between design and production through rigorous hardware validation.
