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.
