Your mission

As an R&D Mechanic, you join the early team and bring our designs to life. You build the prototypes of our humanoid - an industrial-grade machine built for the highest levels of reliability and performance - to the highest standard of precision. You don't just assemble: you improve how every system is built, serviced and tuned.

Key responsibilities

  • Precision Assembly: Lead the build of complex mechatronic systems and handle evolving R&D designs with a first-time-right mindset.
  • Workshop Ownership: Own the assembly area to the highest standards of cleanliness, tool organization and hardware inventory.
  • Quality Control: Lead the inspection of incoming precision parts and verify supplier quality with professional metrology equipment.
  • Fabrication & Fixtures: Modify parts and build custom jigs and fixtures that simplify assembly and servicing of the robot.
  • Design Feedback: Feed assembly and service insights back to the design engineers to improve every iteration.

Your profile

We seek builders ready to move beyond theory to real deployment: professionals who value precision and reliability as much as innovation.

Must have
  • Experience: 3+ years in high-end precision mechanical assembly (e.g. motorsports, aerospace, medical devices, precision gears or high-end robotics).
  • Tool Mastery: Expert-level proficiency with precision hand tools, gauges and measuring equipment.
  • Drawing Literacy: Able to read and interpret complex 3D assemblies and technical drawings, including GD&T.
  • Quality Control: Experience inspecting parts with precision measuring tools and documenting the results.
  • Mindset: You are precise, organized and document your work carefully. You thrive where speed and precision must coexist, and you know there is no room for "good enough".
Nice to have
  • Manual Machining: Proven ability to operate a lathe and milling machine.
  • CNC & CAM: Experience with 5-axis CNC setup, maintenance and CAM programming.
  • CAD Modeling: Ability to model simple parts and fixtures in CAD.
  • Mechatronic Basics: Experience with wiring, connectors and basic electrical troubleshooting.

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.
