InLoop builds warehouse robots that run fully autonomously in customer warehouses today. The fleet is growing quickly, and the demand is huge.
We're hiring a senior mechatronics engineer to take our robot from working prototypes to a design we can build a hundred times. You'll work next to our head of hardware on the arms, torso, base and gripper, and own how they get built.
This is a hands on role. You design a part in CAD in the morning and fit it on the robot in the afternoon.
**What you'll work on first**
\- **Arm redesign.** Redesign the arm structure around the motors and gears we use today, so it's stiffer, easier to assemble and ready for volume.
\- **Base.** Finish our new welded steel base and make it simple to build in house and quick to install on site.
\- **Gripper.** Improve the gripper mechanism for the items our customers actually pack.
\- **Assembly line.** Build our in house assembly line with the team so one person can assemble a robot in a day: fixtures, jigs, work instructions and QC checks.
\- **Electrical integration.** Route cables, place connectors and design strain relief together with our electrical engineer.
**What we're looking for**
\- 3 to 5 years designing mechanical and electromechanical systems that went into production: robot arms, mobile robots, automation equipment or automotive
\- Strong CAD and design for manufacturing: sheet metal, welded frames, machined and 3D printed parts, tolerances
\- You've taken a design from prototype to a repeatable build and written the instructions so someone else can build it
\- Hands on with machine tools, 3D printers and assembly on the bench
\- Comfortable on the electrical side: wiring, motors, sensors
**Nice to have**
\- Actuator and gearbox design
\- FEA and stiffness analysis
\- Sourcing and supplier management in Europe or China
\- German
\- Driving license
**How to apply**
Apply here and include photos or files of something you designed and built. That tells us more than a CV.
Visa sponsorship is offered for this role.
