- Perform mechanical fitting, adjustments, rework, and component modifications during development and production activities;
- Troubleshoot mechanical and electromechanical issues, supporting root-cause analysis and corrective actions;
- Support testing, commissioning, and validation activities for robotic systems and assemblies;
- Identify assembly and manufacturability issues, providing feedback to Mechanical Designers and Engineering teams;
- Document assembly procedures, modifications, and technical findings;
- Maintain tools, fixtures, workstations, and test equipment;
- Ensure compliance with safety, quality, and manufacturing standards;
Requirements
- Technical diploma in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Industrial Maintenance, Automation, or equivalent technical background;
- 3-5 years of experience in mechanical assembly, manufacturing, robotics, automation, or similar technical environments;
- Hands-on experience assembling complex mechanical or mechatronic systems;
- Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, assembly instructions, and engineering documentation;
- Good understanding of mechanical assemblies, machine elements, and manufacturing processes;

Valued Extras
- Experience with simulation and analysis tools (ANSYS, MATLAB, Simulink or equivalent) for FEA, dynamic simulation, or tolerance analysis.
- Previous exposure to robotics projects (academic, competition, or professional), particularly involving actuators, sensors, or locomotion systems.
- Familiarity with electromechanical integration concepts: motors, motor drivers, encoders, force/torque sensors.
- Advanced Materials: Experience with lightweight materials (composites, alluminium alloys) and structural optimization for weight-sensitive applications.
- Contributions to open-source robotics projects or a personal portfolio of mechanical design work.
We Offer
- Experience with robotic systems and platforms, automated machinery, or complex mechatronic products;
- Knowledge of electrical systems, cabling, sensors, actuators, or industrial automation equipment;
- Experience with prototype assembly, commissioning, testing, or product validation activities;
- Familiarity with Linux-based systems and technical software tools;
