About the role

Role focused on extending modular robotics solutions with new peripheral components, from prototyping to validated, reusable standards fully integrated with RobCo's modular robots. Emphasizes documentation, repeatable processes, and cross-functional collaboration to enable scalable deployment of autonomous industrial robotics.

Responsibilities

  • Component Prototyping & Development: Prototype and evaluate new peripheral components such as grippers, sensors, and other mechatronic assemblies, identifying what does and doesn't work for our purpose.
  • Mechatronic Integration: Assemble, wire, and configure new components and integrate them mechanically, electrically, and on the software side into our modular robotic systems.
  • Iterative Development: Take on technical tasks that don't have a fixed, known solution path, and use an iterative development approach to find the best way to make a new component work reliably.
  • Validation: Test and verify new components thoroughly before they are released for use in customer projects.
  • Peripheral Standardization: Turn custom, one-off setups into reliable, repeatable standards that work across different customer applications.
  • Documentation & Handover: Create the documentation, configuration guides, and processes that enable our deployment teams to use new components independently during the installation of robotic solutions.
  • 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.
  • Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with Product Management, Engineering, our Solution Development team, and customers to develop components that help our organization scale.

Qualifications

  • Completed a degree in Mechatronics, Automation Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a comparable technical field.
  • Initial practical experience (via previous projects or early career steps) in building, prototyping, or integrating mechatronic or robotic systems and components.
  • An iterative approach: comfortable with ambiguity, enjoys trial-and-error, and eager to find paths forward when there is no manual.
  • A holistic engineering approach: understand how developed components fit into the larger system and how others will use them.
  • A growth mindset: driven by automation and eager to expand skills into requirements gathering and cross-department collaboration.
  • Solid foundational knowledge of electrical circuits, sensor integration, wiring diagrams, and mechanical components.
  • A structured and pragmatic working style, strong ownership mindset, and ability to document work for reuse by others.
  • Very good English skills (German a plus)
