Mechatronics Engineer (m/f/d)

Job description

About the Role at RobCo RobCo is building the category of Autonomous Industrial Robotics and we're doing it fast. We believe that automating the ordinary frees humans to do the extraordinary, and we're building the end-to-end robotics infrastructure to make that possible - hardware, software, and AI in one stack that just works. In this key role, you act as a critical link between our modular hardware components and real-world customer applications. Your focus is not on maintaining the status quo, but on building, testing, and solving complex technical challenges to develop tailored automation setups. You eliminate mechanical and electrical friction through smart mechatronic troubleshooting and ensure that our modular configurations deliver seamless, high-performance solutions for our customers. Your Responsibilities End-to-End Build & Test: Assemble, wire, configure, and validate peripheral devices and modular mechatronic subsystems end-to-end. Testing & Validation: Conduct rigorous functional testing and verification of hardware setups to ensure peak performance. Iterative Problem Solving: Diagnose and resolve mechanical, electrical, and basic software integration issues, using an iterative development approach to tackle technical tasks that don't have a fixed, known solution path. Peripheral Standardization: Focus on the development and standardization of peripheral devices connected to our robots, moving from custom setups to reliable, repeatable standards. Requirements Translation: Learn to abstract complex requirements from various sources and translate them into actionable work packages, either to be solved within our department or clearly communicated to Product Management. Solution Development: Collaborate closely with Product Management, Engineering, our Solution Development team, and customers to deliver solutions that help our organization scale. Continuous Optimization & Documentation: Identify hardware limitations or bugs, proactively develop modifications to enhance system reliability, and document procedures to streamline future deployment workflows. We're looking for someone who has: Completed vocational training or a degree in Mechatronics, Automation Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a comparable technical field.
