We stand at a historical inflection point: bringing general-purpose intelligence into robotics. At 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. We 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. If this resonates, we're excited to hear from you. /ph3In This Role /h3pYou 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. /pulliMotor Test Characterization: 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. /liliQuality Reliability: You will own motor quality and reliability: FMEA, and life and thermal-cycle testing to prove our actuators survive real use. /liliRoot-Cause Analysis Improvement: You will investigate failures and performance drift, drive corrective actions, and feed findings back into our design and production process. /liliData, Reporting Acceptance Criteria: You will run systematic data collection and technical reporting, and define the acceptance criteria and KPIs that gate every unit we ship. /li /ulh3What We're Looking For /h3ulliDegree (BSc/MSc) in mechanical, mechatronic, or electrical engineering/equivalent hands-on experience. /liliExperience in testing, characterization, or quality and reliability engineering. /liliHands-on design and build of test rigs: torque sensors and load cells, dynamometers, encoders, thermocouples etc. /liliFluency with measurement uncertainty and setup calibration /liliA rigorous, data-driven approach to root-cause analysis and improving both product and process. /liliStrong CAD skills for fixtures and test hardware. /liliLanguage: We are an international team, fluency in English is a must have. /li /ulh3Bonus Points If You Have /h3ulliSupplier quality experience: incoming inspection /liliFamiliarity with motor control, motor drives and current sensing /liliFamiliarity with high degree of freedom robotic systems /liliApplied statistics in production context /li /ulh3What We Offer /h3ulliThe opportunity to make a real impact working on some of the biggest challenges of our time /liliA fast-paced learning environment alongside an outstanding, driven team /liliOwnership from day one, with the ability to iterate quickly and see your impact firsthand in an early-stage startup /liliVisa sponsorship relocation benefits to hire the best in the world /liliA world-class in-person setup in central Zürich, with excellent prototyping, robotics, and technical infrastructure for hands-on builders /liliCompetitive compensation and meaningful equity participation /li /ul /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
