Mechatronics & Robotics Engineer

Role Overview

We’re looking for a highly motivated

Mechatronics \& Robotics Engineer

to tackle core challenges at the intersection of hardware, embedded systems, and robotics software. You’ll help design, prototype, and integrate components of our robotic systems — from embedded controllers to custom end-effectors — and bring them to life on real hardware running ROS-based stacks.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys both

hands-on engineering

and

systems integration

, and who thrives in dynamic environments where innovation and ownership matter.

What You’ll Do

Systems \& Hardware Integration

• Design, prototype, and test

mechatronic components

(mechanical actuators, sensors, motor drivers, wiring harnesses).

• Collaborate with industrial designers and mechanical engineers to build

custom grippers and robotic hands

optimized for real-world manipulation.

• Integrate embedded systems into robotic platforms — power electronics, microcontrollers, sensor interfaces, and communication buses.

Software \& Embedded Development

• Develop embedded firmware for real-time control and sensing, including support for platforms such as

ROS/ROS 2

, microcontrollers (STM32/ESP32), and compute modules (Jetson/Orin).

• Implement drivers, control loops, and communication interfaces that link hardware and higher-level software.
• Support

simulation ↔ reality testing

with Gazebo, Isaac Sim, or similar tools as part of iterative development.

Robot System Validation

• Debug and validate robotic subsystems on real rigs and in lab environments.
• Work closely with controls and AI teams to integrate software control with physical systems.
• Automate testing and CI/CD pipelines to ensure robust performance across releases.

Cross-Functional Impact \& Innovation

• Collaborate with product, AI, and research teams to refine specifications based on experimental feedback.
• Contribute to documentation, design reviews, and knowledge sharing.
• Help maintain quality, safety, and reliability standards in all stages of development.

Must have

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in

Mechatronics, Robotics, Mechanical/Electrical/Computer Engineering

, or equivalent experience.

• Strong practical experience in

embedded systems, hardware design, and integration

.

• Hands-on experience with

sensors, actuators, and electromechanical systems

.

• Comfortable using CAD / simulation tools — SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Gazebo, Isaac, etc.

Nice to Have

• Experience with

3D printing / rapid prototyping

for custom parts.

• Familiarity with real-time systems, FPGA/RTOS, or motor control firmware.
• Prior robotics project experience in startups or research labs.
• Understanding of gripper design, torque control, and compliant mechanisms.
• Exposure to automated testing frameworks and CI/CD for embedded pipelines.
• Ability to understand French
