Senior/Principal Mechanical Engineer (Autonomous Robotics)
? Mechanical Design Lead: Heavy Robotics & Autonomous Hardware (€9M Funded)
Funding: VC-Backed | €9M raised since inception (2024)
Sector: Deep-Tech / Robotics / Aerospace-Grade Engineering
The Mission
I am representing a high-growth robotics startup building a fully electric, autonomous heavy‑duty vehicle designed to revolutionise frontline logistics and agriculture. Backed by €9M in funding and led by experts in Aerospace and Quantum ML from Google, they are moving from successful field trials to scaling production.
The Role: Concept to Production
You will take total ownership of mechanical projects. This isn’t just about sitting behind a screen; it’s about hands‑on prototyping, rigorous testing, and cross‑functional collaboration.
Your Core Tasks
- Robust Design: Use CAD, FEA, and engineering calculations to develop hardware that survives the harshest real‑world environments.
- Validate & Optimise: Perform deep analysis and testing to ensure system performance is peak.
- Supplier & Supply Chain: Interface with suppliers and manage procurement for both rapid prototyping and serial production.
- Multidisciplinary Fusion: Work alongside electronics, mechatronics, and software teams to bring \"Thor-\" to life.
- Field Testing: Lead the iteration of functional prototypes out in the field (vineyards, orchards, and rugged terrain).
- Scale Operations: Optimise tools and processes to transition from custom builds to serial production.
Who You Are
- Qualified & Practical: You hold a degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering (or have equivalent, undeniable practical experience).
- Proven Builder: You have a track record of taking complex hardware designs from a raw idea to a physical reality.
- Pragmatic Problem Solver: You have a hands‑on mindset and aren't afraid to get your hands dirty in the workshop or the field.
- Collaborator: A clear communicator who enjoys working in multidisciplinary teams to solve \"impossible\" hardware challenges.
Why Join This Team?
- High-Impact Engineering: Build physical machines that solve the general labour crisis and promote fossil‑independent tech.
- Strong Capital Backing: Join a stable, well‑funded startup (€9M raised) at the most exciting stage of its growth.
- Top-Tier Compensation: Competitive base salary + Equity Participation Plan + relocation assistance.
- Valencia Lifestyle: Live in one of Europe’s most vibrant coastal cities, known for its incredible quality of life and tech ecosystem.
