Your mission

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?

  • The Team: Work alongside leadership with a proven track record of building unicorn-scale companies and defining global robotics standards.

  • Smart Strategy: We operate as disciplined fast followers. Capital is timed to the deployment inflection point, avoiding early-mover dead ends to scale fast on proven foundations.

  • Resources: We are substantially internally funded and attract top-tier investors to avoid any capital constraints for our mission.

  • Historic Opportunity: Join at the dawn of a new industry comparable to the rise of the automobile. Help shape the European champion in this trillion-dollar market.
