About the role
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
