Motor Test & Industrialization Engineer

In This Role

You will drive our next-gen robotic actuators from prototyping to manufacturing and characterization, working together with our team to turn real-world insights and design feedback into the next evolution of robotic actuation. You'll be hands-on, developing test setups and process improvements, turning ideas into working systems fast.

• Motor Test & Characterization: You will design and build our actuator test setups and rigs, and characterize motor performance: parameters, torque-ripple, cogging, efficiency, and thermal behavior, for our actuators.

• Quality & Reliability: You will own motor quality and reliability: FMEA, and life and thermal-cycle testing to prove our actuators survive real use.

• Root-Cause Analysis & Improvement: You will investigate failures and performance drift, drive corrective actions, and feed findings back into our design and production process.

• Data, Reporting & Acceptance Criteria: You will run systematic data collection and technical reporting, and define the acceptance criteria and KPIs that gate every unit we ship.
  

What We're Looking For

• Degree (BSc/MSc) in mechanical, mechatronic, or electrical engineering/equivalent hands-on experience.

• Experience in testing, characterization, or quality and reliability engineering.

• Hands-on design and build of test rigs: torque sensors and load cells, dynamometers, encoders, thermocouples etc.

• Fluency with measurement uncertainty and setup calibration

• A rigorous, data-driven approach to root-cause analysis and improving both product and process.

• Strong CAD skills for fixtures and test hardware.

• Language: We are an international team, fluency in English is a must have.
  

Bonus Points If You Have

• Supplier quality experience: incoming inspection

• Familiarity with motor control, motor drives and current sensing

• Familiarity with high degree of freedom robotic systems

• Applied statistics in production context

What we offer

• The opportunity to make a real impact working on some of the biggest challenges of our time

• A fast-paced learning environment alongside an outstanding, driven team

• Ownership from day one, with the ability to iterate quickly and see your impact firsthand in an early-stage startup

• Visa sponsorship & relocation benefits to hire the best in the world

• A world-class in-person setup in central Zürich, with excellent prototyping, robotics, and technical infrastructure for hands-on builders

• Competitive compensation and meaningful equity participation
