Actuator Test & Industrialization Engineer

h3About Enact /h3 pThe next defining technological breakthrough will be in the physical world. We stand at a historical inflection point: bringing general-purpose intelligence into robotics. /p pAt Enact we rethink the entire robotic tech stack from model architectures and data pipelines, to the actuators and sensors that feed the model. Pushing beyond pure vision and language approaches, we build a proprioceptive nerve system, and the cortex that makes sense of it, to solve dexterity through whole-body force-awareness and deploy robots for thousands of tasks in industry and beyond. /p pWe are shaping a company where brilliant and unconventional people thrive together on solving the hardest challenges of our time. We are truth seekers. We reason from first principles, test our beliefs against reality, and trust that the best ideas can come from anyone. We move fast. We care deeply about our work and colleagues and are driven by passion to change the status quo. /p pIf this resonates, we’re excited to hear from you. /p h3In This Role /h3 pYou will drive our next-gen robotic actuators from prototyping to manufacturing and characterization, working together with our team to turn real-world insights and design feedback into the next evolution of robotic actuation. You’ll be hands-on, developing test setups and process improvements, turning ideas into working systems fast. /p ul lipbMotor Test Characterization /b : You will design and build our actuator test setups and rigs, and characterize motor performance: parameters, torque-ripple, cogging, efficiency, and thermal behavior, for our actuators. /p /li lipbQuality Reliability /b : You will own motor quality and reliability: FMEA, and life and thermal-cycle testing to prove our actuators survive real use. /p /li lipbRoot-Cause Analysis Improvement: /b You will investigate failures and performance drift, drive corrective actions, and feed findings back into our design and production process. /p /li lipbData, Reporting Acceptance Criteria: /b You will run systematic data collection and technical reporting, and define the acceptance criteria and KPIs that gate every unit we ship. /p /li /ul h3What We’re Looking For /h3 ul lipDegree (BSc/MSc) in mechanical, mechatronic, or electrical engineering/equivalent hands-on experience. /p /li lipExperience in testing, characterization, or quality and reliability engineering. /p /li lipHands-on design and build of test rigs: torque sensors and load cells, dynamometers, encoders, thermocouples etc. /p /li lipFluency with measurement uncertainty and setup calibration /p /li lipA rigorous, data-driven approach to root-cause analysis and improving both product and process. /p /li lipStrong CAD skills for fixtures and test hardware. /p /li lipLanguage: We are an international team, fluency in English is a must have. /p /li /ul h3Bonus Points If You Have /h3 ul lipSupplier quality experience: incoming inspection /p /li lipFamiliarity with motor control, motor drives and current sensing /p /li lipFamiliarity with high degree of freedom robotic systems /p /li lipApplied statistics in production context /p /li /ul h3What we offer /h3 ul lipThe opportunity to make a real impact working on some of the biggest challenges of our time /p /li lipA fast-paced learning environment alongside an outstanding, driven team /p /li lipOwnership from day one, with the ability to iterate quickly and see your impact firsthand in an early-stage startup /p /li lipVisa sponsorship relocation benefits to hire the best in the world /p /li lipA world-class in-person setup in central Zürich, with excellent prototyping, robotics, and technical infrastructure for hands‑on builders /p /li lipCompetitive compensation and meaningful equity participation /p /li /ul #J-18808-Ljbffr
