Senior Mechanical Engineer (CAD-focused) - Humanoid Robotics - Munich (Onsite)
Most robots never leave the demo floor. This one is being built to work a full shift in a factory.
We’re working with a European humanoid robotics company whose alpha robots are already being tested in the lab. The founders built motion‑control hardware used in robots across the industry, have scaled companies to unicorn valuations and help shape global robotics standards. The AI side is led by a pioneer of data‑efficient reinforcement learning. The business is founder‑funded, the team is small and growing fast, and they’re now hiring the engineers who will design the robot’s body.
The role
You’ll own the robot’s mechanical structure, from first concept to production‑ready CAD: lightweight structures, actuation and clean load paths, with DFM/DFA built in from day one. You’ll work directly with the founders, Technical Leads and the AI and controls teams on things like mass distribution and sensor placement. You’ll set the team’s DFM/DFA standards, mentor junior engineers and choose where to go deep: structures, actuation or simulation.
What you’ll bring
- 5+ years in robotics, automotive or aerospace, with complex hardware you’ve taken into series production
- Expert CAD and FEA (structural, modal, thermal). CATIA, Fusion 360 and Abaqus are a bonus, but SolidWorks, NX, Creo or Ansys are fine too
- First‑principles mechanical fundamentals: bearing selection, fastener calcs, strength assessment, load paths
- A working understanding of kinematics, actuation and how mechanics and control interact
- Design for series production: parts reduction, tolerancing for assembly, cost‑down
What’s on offer
- Strong base salary plus early equity
- A real say in the architecture while it’s still being set
- Parts that end up in robots built for the factory floor, not in renders
- Working day to day with founders who have already built and scaled companies
- Visa sponsorship and relocation support to Munich
