About Flexion

At Flexion, we’re building the intelligence layer powering the next generation of humanoid robots. Our mission is to accelerate the transition from fragile prototypes to real-world humanoid deployment. We are founded by leading scientists in robot reinforcement learning (ex-Nvidia, ex-ETH Zürich), and backed by leading international VC firms. In just months, we’ve gone from our first line of code to deploying real humanoid capabilities.

The Role

We are looking for a versatile and driven Robotics Technician with a passion for hands-on technical work. In this role, you will support the development, testing, and maintenance of humanoid robots. You will work closely with a team of engineers to ensure the functionality and continuous improvement of robotic systems.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Perform regular maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair of humanoid robots to ensure operational reliability
• Design, build, and maintain testing equipment and infrastructure to support robotics research and development
• Configure, calibrate, and validate robots to enable efficient testing of new features and systems (e.g. Motion Capture Devices, Actuator Testbench, Cranesystems)
• Collaborate with engineers to provide hands-on support in prototyping and experimentation
• Document processes, testing outcomes, and improvements to support cross-team knowledge sharing

• Technical apprenticeship in Automation, Electronics, or Mechanical Design or similar with further education such as FH/HF
• 3+ year of experience as a technician/engineer in a R&D environment, with a strong focus on mechatronics, prototyping and testing
• 3+ years of experience in the development and/or maintenance of mechatronic products.
• Professional working proficiency in English

Nice to have skills:

• Hands-on experience with robotic systems (setup, operation, maintenance)
• Experience with mechanical work (e.g., running a prototype workshop, machining, repairs,..)
• Experience with electronics work (e.g. soldering, PCB design, debugging electrical systems, ...)
• Knowledge of C++ and/or Python
• A "hacker" attitude excited to dive into technical challenges, motivated by rapid prototyping, and inspired to find creative solutions

• Competitive compensation package
• A front-row seat at one of Europe’s most ambitious robotics companies
• An energetic, collaborative team with a bias for action
• The opportunity to help shape the team’s culture from the ground up
