ppYou will play a key role in the technical development of high-performance gearboxes and compact actuation systems for humanoid robots, cobots, and wearable devices. You will be responsible for turning novel ideas and concepts into industry-grade products by defining requirements, producing 3D designs and detailed drawings, interacting with parts suppliers and prototype workshops, and iterating designs towards industrial production. /p pThis position is in a startup environment. You should be ready for ambiguity, tight schedules, shifting priorities, rapid iteration, close collaboration with the CEO/CTO, and wider responsibility for both hands-on prototyping and decisions that affect the final product. As the company grows, you can expect rapid advancement into leadership roles. /p pbVisa: /b Work authorization in the EU is preferred. Visa sponsorship will be offered only to exceptional candidates. /p pbEquity: /b The position typically does not include an equity package. However, equity can be awarded to exceptional candidates or at a later stage, once you have grown into a leadership position. /p h3Key responsibilities /h3 ul liOwn end-to-end development for new gearbox/actuation projects: requirements, design, prototyping, verification, and industrialization. /li liMake technical decisions based on the trade-offs, communicate rationale, and drive prototype/product delivery with minimal supervision. /li liManage external suppliers and prototype workshops: oversee parts design, parts procurement/manufacturing with external partners, validation, and assembly. /li liOptimize designs for performance, manufacturability, cost, reliability, serviceability, and safety. /li liCommunicate progress, risks, and mitigation to stakeholders. /li /ul h3Main requirement /h3 ul liProven experience with small gearboxes, transmissions, and compact actuators. /li /ul h3Other requirements /h3 ul liSeveral years of industrial mechanical design and prototyping experience. /li liDemonstrated product or design ownership: examples of projects you drove end-to-end, including decisions made and outcomes delivered. /li liAbility to operate autonomously: identify problems, propose concrete solutions, prioritize actions, execute without step-by-step instructions, and escalate appropriately. /li liExperience in 3D CAD (SolidWorks or equivalent) from concept models to detailed drawings suitable for manufacturing. /li liSolid understanding of relevant mechanical components: gears, shafts, bearings, seals, couplings, housings, fasteners, preloads, and fits. /li liPractical experience applying geometric dimensioning tolerancing (GDT) for precision assemblies. /li liKnowledge of material selection for drivetrain components: material trade-offs for strength, wear, weight, and manufacturability. /li liSolid understanding of constraints of manufacturing methods for small gearbox components: CNC turning/milling, hobbing/gear cutting, broaching, gear grinding, EDM, heat treatment, surface finishing, injection molding, die casting, and additive manufacturing. /li /ul h3Nice to have, but not mandatory /h3 ul liLeadership or mentoring experience. /li liExperience with backdrivable, low-inertia, high-efficiency transmissions. /li /ul /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
