Senior Mechatronics Engineer

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
