Your mission & challenges

As a hands‑on design engineer, you will bridge the gap between development, plant engineering, and production, with the goal of enabling increasingly automated assembly processes.

Your objective is to design robot components and assembly tools in collaboration with hardware and mechanical development as well as plant engineering so that they can be assembled robustly, efficiently, and in a manner suitable for series production.

Main tasks

• Design and develop production equipment, assembly fixtures, and testing devices for manufacturing.
• Optimize product designs for series production in close collaboration with development, production, and quality assurance.
• Implement design changes to sustainably improve manufacturability, ease of assembly, and product robustness.
• Create 3D CAD models, technical drawings, and documentation in accordance with applicable standards.
• Support production in preparing work instructions and assist with the commissioning and validation of new equipment and fixtures.
• Work closely with suppliers and internal departments to ensure feasibility, cost‑effectiveness, and on‑time implementation.
• Actively contribute to the standardization and modularization of production equipment and design solutions as a foundation for future automation steps.

Qualifications

• A completed Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or Product Development.
• Professional experience in the design and optimization of mechatronic systems, fixtures, or production equipment—ideally in an environment close to large‑scale series production.
• Proficiency in 3D CAD systems and knowledge of PLM systems.
• A solid understanding of manufacturing processes, tolerance management, and design for manufacturing and assembly (DFMA).
• A strong hands‑on mentality and a focus on practical, implementable solutions.
• A structured, quality‑conscious, and solution‑oriented way of working.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively in interdisciplinary project teams.
• Very good German and English language skills, both written and spoken.

Benefits

• Creative freedom and agility: dynamic, self‑reliant work culture with flat hierarchies and flexible hours.
• Passion for winning: high‑skill international team aiming to redefine robot assistants.
• Attractive compensation: competitive salary package with exclusive employee discounts.
• One team: shared celebrations such as summer parties and company town halls.
• Professional growth: support for personal and professional development.
