About The Role
We’re building rugged, high-performance off-road robotic vehicles and we’re looking for a Senior Mechanical Engineer who wants to turn vehicles into real-world systems that deliver critical capabilities to soldiers in the field.
In this hands-on role, you’ll take ideas from concept to deployment, integrating complex payloads, and ensuring our systems perform under the toughest conditions. This isn’t just CAD work. You’ll be shaping systems that make a real difference on the ground.

5+ years building real mechanical systems (robotics, automotive, machinery, or similar)
Think like a user: optimize designs for field performance, serviceability, and real-world operations
You’ve integrated complex systems, not just designed standalone parts
Design systems with a keen eye on electrical integration, mechanical stresses, and spatial constraints under dynamic operation in harsh environments
Strong CAD skills (Autodesk Inventor preferred), but you know CAD is just a tool
You understand fabrication in the real world (CNC, sheet metal, welding, etc.)
Hands-on, pragmatic, and biased toward action
You take ownership and don’t wait for perfect specs
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, sometimes messy startup environment
Strong problem-solver who can debug issues across disciplines
Fluent in English (German is a plus)
Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or similar
What You’ll Do
Design and build mechanical systems for off-road robotic platforms, leading the system design, not just the parts
Own the design and integration of complex payloads (sensors, manipulators, radars and cameras) into and onto UGVs
Figure out how to mount, protect, power, and package payloads under real-world constraints (shock, dust, water, heat)
Define mechanical interfaces that actually work outside the lab
Work side-by-side with electrical and software engineers to make full systems function reliably
Rapidly prototype, test, break, and improve designs
Make smart trade-offs between performance, usability, weight, cost, and manufacturability
Take designs all the way to production.
Benefits and Perks
Competitive salary and benefits package
A shaping role in an emerging dual use company
Opportunity to work with a highly innovative, international, and dynamic team
Room for professional growth and development
Participation in the company's success, with access to regular events, knowledge exchange and meetups
