Mechanical Engineer | Robotics

This position involves designing and developing the mechanical components and assemblies for humanoid robotic systems. Daily responsibilities include creating CAD models for actuators, kinematic mechanisms, sensor mounts, and protective enclosures. You will optimize the kinematic structure of joints and limbs, ensuring that selected motors, gearboxes, and encoders meet specific torque, speed, and load requirements. The role requires preparing designs for series production by considering product requirements, user experience, and target costs, while also managing the handover to manufacturing teams. This includes defining assembly processes, creating jigs and fixtures, and coordinating supplier ramp-up. You will prototype and validate mechanical systems for performance, safety, and durability, which involves building test rigs for endurance and load testing. Additionally, you will integrate electronics such as PCBs, sensors, and batteries into mechanical assemblies, handling cable routing, heat management, and soldering wiring harnesses. The job also entails running stress analysis and weight optimization, as well as researching and qualifying new materials and processes. The advert specifies the use of CAD software, such as Onshape, but does not list specific prior experience levels or formal qualifications. No language requirements are mentioned in the text. The working arrangement is on-site in Berlin, with a full-time commitment and an immediate start date. This role suits individuals who want to be part of an early-stage team, take ownership of their work, and help build a product that is close to launch.
