Role Overview
Location: On-site in Budapest, HU
We’re looking for an experienced Mechatronics Engineer to join our growing engineering team and play a key role in the design and integration of mechanical and electromechanical subsystems for our novel 3D Tissue Braider platform. You’ll be responsible for developing motion systems, actuation mechanisms, sensing architectures, and control interfaces — translating high-level product goals into robust, manufacturable, and scalable hardware that performs reliably in customer environments.
This role is ideal for someone with experience in delivering complex industrial hardware, who thrives at the intersection of mechanical design, electronics, and control systems, and who enjoys working hands-on in prototyping, testing, and system integration.
What You’ll Do
- Design, prototype, and validate mechatronic subsystems (actuation, sensing, motion control, and automation modules).
- Select and integrate electromechanical components (motors, sensors, controllers, drivers, etc.)
- Own motor control engineering, including tuning, performance evaluation, and model identification.
- Develop detailed CAD assemblies and manufacturing drawings for mechanical components.
- Collaborate with software and electronics teams to ensure seamless system integration.
- Perform system-level testing, debugging, and optimization of dynamic performance.
- Contribute to the development of the overall system architecture and design standards.
- Ensure designs meet compliance pathways (safety, EMC, environmental) and future CE certification requirements.
- Support assembly, calibration, and maintenance procedures for lab and pilot systems.
- Document designs, test results, and technical processes for internal and external stakeholders.
What You Bring
Required
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.
- 3+ years of experience in mechatronic system design, prototyping, or automation.
- Familiarity with 3D CAD (PTC Creo preferred)
- Strong experience with motor control, motor/actuator specification, and system-level electromechanical design.
- Strong understanding of sensors, actuators, motion control, and embedded systems.
- Experience with mechanical analysis and simulation (tolerancing, dynamics, basic FEA).
- Hands-on experience in designing, assembling and testing hardware prototypes.
- Familiarity with industrial certification processes and electronics compliance standards.
Bonus Points
- Experience with wireless power transfer or wireless data transmission systems.
- Background in model identification, advanced sensor technologies, or embedded motor control.
- Hands-on machine-building experience — automation equipment, CNC systems, robotics, textile machinery, or related platforms.
- Strong systems engineering foundation, with emphasis on system-level modeling and integration.
- Experience in requirements engineering and test engineering, including validation of complex electromechanical systems.
Personal Attributes
- Systems thinker who enjoys bridging mechanical, electrical, and software domains.
- Pragmatic problem solver with a hands-on approach to experimentation.
- Precise and detail-oriented, organized and documentation-driven.
- Comfortable thinking outside of the box and working in a fast-paced R&D environment.
- Curious, collaborative, and motivated by technical challenges.
Why Join?
- World-changing technology — work alongside a world-class team, and take part in fundamentally changing how robotics are built
- Founding team opportunity — shape the technical foundation and culture from day one
- Competitive salary — we value talent and offer fair compensation for your expertise
- Work on something new — solve problems that no one else is solving
- Physical impact — you design and build machines that in turn build real, physical products
- Access to prototyping tools — work (and play) with the state-of-the-art
- Cross-disciplinary learning — expand your knowledge across software, engineering, and robotics in your everyday work and at professional events
- Flexible work hours — hybrid work setup possible
- Community — a supportive and design-driven culture where sharing ideas, communication and hands-on collaboration are part of the day-to-day, and failure is considered a learning opportunity
