Senior Robotics Hardware Engineer

Senior Robotics Hardware Engineer

Do you want to own real hardware, not just contribute to it?

Curious about building next-gen actuators, grippers, and human-robot interfaces from the ground up?

One of our long-standing robotics partners is scaling their AI-driven industrial automation platform - and they’re now building the next generation of their robotic system.

They’re looking for a Senior Robotics Hardware Engineer to take end-to-end ownership of key subsystems and translate high-level product concepts into robust, manufacturable hardware.

This goes beyond prototyping - you’ll architect, build, and steer core hardware components of the next robot platform, working closely with software, autonomy, and external engineering partners.

Your role:

Full ownership of the design, concept, development, and validation of critical hardware components (grippers, actuators & teaching interfaces)
Design and prototype next-gen actuator concepts (QDD, backdrivable systems, etc.)
Take designs from early concept through to manufacturable hardware
Define subsystem architecture and integrate with control, perception, and autonomy systems
Working closely with external design and DFM partners
Getting hands-on with prototypes - build, test, iterate
Make technical decisions that directly shape the product

This is end-to-end hardware ownership, not a narrow design role.

Your background:

Strong background in robotics hardware, mechatronics, or mechanical engineering
Experience owning hardware systems from concept through validation (production exposure ideal)
Solid CAD skills (SolidWorks or similar), including DFM and tolerancing
Actuator experience is a strong plus (BLDC, gear systems, torque sensing, etc.)
Strong system-level thinking across mechanics, electronics, and control.
Comfort working cross-functionally across controls, software, and product

On-site working in Munich.

Salary up to €90,000 + stocks + bonus + benefits.

Apply now for immediate consideration! If you want to build core robotics hardware and see it deployed in real environments. . . then look no further. This is your chance to join a fast-growing, tech-driven organisation transforming European manufacturing
