Actuator Mechanical Engineer

You are a foundational member of our engineering team, orchestrating the design of the \"muscles\" behind our physical AI. You will develop high-performance devices that convert energy into precise, human-like motion, ensuring our robots achieve industrial-grade reliability and fluid movement.

Key responsibilities

• End-to-End Design: Lead the mechanical architecture of high-torque linear and rotary actuators, optimizing for maximum power density and compact assembly.
• Advanced Simulation: Leverage FEA and CFD to conduct rigorous structural and thermal analyses to ensure performance in extreme operational environments.
• Mechatronic Integration: Strategically select and integrate BLDC motors, high-resolution encoders, and precision gears & bearings.
• Validation Rigor: Design comprehensive testing protocols, including vibration analysis and accelerated life-cycle testing, to guarantee durability

Your profile

We seek builders ready to move beyond demos to real-world deployment - professionals who value precision and reliability as much as innovation.

• Experience: 5+ years in high-performance robotics or aerospace, with deep expertise in classical mechanics and tribology.
• Core Skills:
• Mastery of CAD (Catia & Fusion360) and FEA packages (Simulia Abaqus).
• DFM/DFA proficiency: Deep knowledge in hightech product design (ideally Robotics), thermal management, and DFM/DFA for series production.
• Product Design Experience: Deep knowledge in hightech product design (ideally Robotics), thermal management, and DFM/DFA for series production.
• Mindset:
• Collaborative Communicator: bridge the gap between mechanical, electrical, and software teams to ensure seamless system integration.
• Results-Oriented Designer: Professional with a \"hands-on\" mindset who enjoys troubleshooting prototypes and refining designs based on empirical test data.

Why us?
