Role Overview

We’re looking for a highly motivated Mechatronics & Robotics Engineer to tackle core challenges at the intersection of hardware, embedded systems, and robotics software. You’ll help design, prototype, and integrate components of our robotic systems — from embedded controllers to custom end-effectors — and bring them to life on real hardware running ROS-based stacks.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys both hands-on engineering and systems integration , and who thrives in dynamic environments where innovation and ownership matter.

What You’ll Do

Systems & Hardware Integration

• Design, prototype, and test mechatronic components (mechanical actuators, sensors, motor drivers, wiring harnesses).
• Collaborate with industrial designers and mechanical engineers to build custom grippers and robotic hands optimized for real-world manipulation.
• Integrate embedded systems into robotic platforms — power electronics, microcontrollers, sensor interfaces, and communication buses.

Software & Embedded Development

• Develop embedded firmware for real-time control and sensing, including support for platforms such as ROS/ROS 2 , microcontrollers (STM32/ESP32), and compute modules (Jetson/Orin).
• Implement drivers, control loops, and communication interfaces that link hardware and higher-level software.
• Support simulation ↔ reality testing with Gazebo, Isaac Sim, or similar tools as part of iterative development.

Robot System Validation

• Debug and validate robotic subsystems on real rigs and in lab environments.
• Work closely with controls and AI teams to integrate software control with physical systems.
• Automate testing and CI/CD pipelines to ensure robust performance across releases.

Cross-Functional Impact & Innovation

• Collaborate with product, AI, and research teams to refine specifications based on experimental feedback.
• Contribute to documentation, design reviews, and knowledge sharing.
• Help maintain quality, safety, and reliability standards in all stages of development.

Must have

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Mechatronics, Robotics, Mechanical/Electrical/Computer Engineering , or equivalent experience.
• Strong practical experience in embedded systems, hardware design, and integration .
• Hands-on experience with sensors, actuators, and electromechanical systems .
• Comfortable using CAD / simulation tools — SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Gazebo, Isaac, etc.

Nice to Have

• Experience with 3D printing / rapid prototyping for custom parts.
• Familiarity with real-time systems, FPGA/RTOS, or motor control firmware.
• Prior robotics project experience in startups or research labs.
• Understanding of gripper design, torque control, and compliant mechanisms.
• Exposure to automated testing frameworks and CI/CD for embedded pipelines.
• Ability to understand French
