Gearbox Design Engineer (Human)

The Mechanical Development team designs the drives, structural parts, and peripherals of our robots. From first concept to manufacturing-ready drawing, this is where lightweight, precise, and series-ready components come to life.

Your mission & challenges

You develop high-precision, low-backlash gearboxes for robotic drives and bring them to series maturity together with suppliers and simulation.

• Sizing and designing precision gearboxes (e.g., strain wave, cycloidal, planetary gearboxes)
• Defining tolerances, materials, lubrication, and bearing concepts
• Collaborating with gearbox/bearing simulation on service-life and stiffness sizing
• Building, testing, and optimizing gearbox prototypes
• Technical coordination with gearbox suppliers and manufacturing

• Degree in mechanical engineering with a focus on drive technology/design
• Experience in gearbox development, ideally precision or robotics gearboxes
• Knowledge of gear design, tolerance management, and tribology
• Confident use of 3D CAD and sizing tools (e.g., KISSsoft)
• Analytical thinking and enthusiasm for demanding precision mechanics
