Senior Mechanical Engineer - Robotics (m/f/d)

About the Role at RobCo RobCo is building the category of Autonomous Industrial Robotics and we're doing it fast. We believe that automating the ordinary frees humans to do the extraordinary, and we're building the end-to-end robotics infrastructure to make that possible - hardware, software, and AI in one stack that just works. As our Senior Mechanical Engineer - Robotics (m/f/d), you act as a mechanical engineering powerhouse and technical pillar within our hardware team. You lead end-to-end physical design, drive robust engineering standards, and shape dynamic processes tailored for a fast-paced scale-up environment. As a pragmatic all-rounder and role model, you translate high-level mechanical concepts into field-ready robotic systems that redefine industrial automation. Your Responsibilities Lead end-to-end mechanical design cycles, taking complex mechanical systems from initial sketching, calculations, and conceptualization through to CAD modeling, prototyping, and full production delivery. Establish and refine engineering standards and scalable mechanical design processes suitable for a fast-growing scale-up, ensuring high quality and rapid iteration cycles. Act as a technical role model and mentor for junior and peer engineers in adopting modern mechanical standards, design methodologies, and robust documentation practices. Design high-precision mechanisms, seamlessly integrating motion systems, actuators, and electrical/mechatronic components into modular hardware architectures. Drive DFM/DFT best practices, collaborating directly with contract manufacturers and internal assembly teams to optimize BOM costs, sourcing strategies, and engineering change control (ECO). Execute detailed structural calculations, engineering drawings, and geometric dimensioning & tolerancing (GD&T) to guarantee reliable field performance. Run projects end to end, planning them out, budgeting, and keeping timelines. Collaborate cross-functionally with electronics, software
