Your mission & challenges
In our MiPA Robotics team, we are developing the next generation of cognitive mobile robots designed to operate safely and intelligently in human environments. As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you will take ownership of complex mechanical systems and drive product development from concept to production.
Your responsibilities will include:
Development, design, and optimization of mechanical systems for the MiPA robotics platform
Design of structural assemblies, robot body components, mounting systems, mechanisms, and integrated electromechanical subsystems
Creation of CAD models, technical drawings, engineering documentation, and bills of materials
Performing strength, stiffness, tolerance, and durability analyses
Driving Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) throughout the development process
Supporting prototype build, integration, validation, and testing activities
Close collaboration with electronics, controls, software, systems engineering, and manufacturing teams
Selection of suitable materials, manufacturing technologies, and production processes
Ownership of engineering data quality, documentation standards, and revision management
Contributing to technical decision-making, design reviews, and product architecture discussions
