Mechanical Design Engineer responsible for end-to-end design of ceiling-based mobility systems at a robotics startup. Work with innovative technology and lead product development efforts in logistics.
Responsibilities
Own end-to-end mechanical design: Design complex mechanisms (chain units, moving parts, grippers, lifts) from concept through series production
Create detailed CAD models and manufacturing drawings in SolidWorks
Select materials, processes, and fastening solutions based on application requirements
Conduct design trade-offs and validate through prototyping
Generate technical documentation throughout the development process
Apply design-for-manufacture principles to ensure producibility
Work with suppliers on sheet metal fabrication and CNC machining
Coordinate with cross-functional teams (Electrical, Systems, Quality) for seamless integration
Support testing, qualification, and acceptance activities
Optimize existing mechanisms for cost, performance, and manufacturability
Ensure compliance with CE certification and Machinery Directive standards
Troubleshoot mechanical issues and iterate quickly
Requirements
3+ years in mechanical design for industrial applications (up to 15 years welcome, but not looking for management)
Expert SolidWorks skills (or equivalent CAD tool)
Proven experience designing complex mechanisms – you’ll have to show something you’ve built in the interview process
Deep materials knowledge – metals, alloys, plastics, surface treatments, lubrication
Hardware product development – you've taken physical products from concept to production
Technical drawing expertise – detailed manufacturing drawings with proper measurements
Startup mentality – flexible, autonomous, takes ownership without waiting for instructions
Strong 3D spatial thinking – you visualize how parts move and fit together
Fluent German – you'll work with German suppliers regularly
Fluent English – for internal communication and documentation, although everyone in the current team speaks German
