Maxon is a global provider of world-class precision drive systems. Our drives are perfectly suited for wherever extreme precision and the highest quality standards are necessary - on Earth, and on Mars. brFor creative minds and passionate doers, we offer a global yet trusted environment. Those who are prepared to question endless possibilities and challenge themselves will rise to great heights with us. brAs a Test Engineer - Control Robotics Drive Systems, you will play a critical role in validating and characterizing the dynamic behavior of robotic joints and drive systems, with a strong focus on control performance, stability, and robustness. brYour responsibilities: brPlan, execute, and document control‐focused tests to evaluate dynamic performance, stability, and robustness. brValidate and characterize torque, velocity, and position control loops using time‐ and frequency‐domain analysis. brProvide high‐quality measurement data and insights to support control and firmware engineers during validation, tuning, and debugging. brMaintain and improve test benches, HIL setups, instrumentation, and data acquisition systems, including first‐level troubleshooting. brPrepare clear, structured test reports and ensure traceable documentation of test setups and results. brCollaborate closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams to continuously improve control‐related testing methodologies. This job is exactly right for you if... brYou have hands‐on experience testing electromechanical, robotics, or motion control systems. brYou understand control fundamentals (PID, cascaded loops, bandwidth, stability) and how they behave in real systems. brYou are comfortable working with measurement tools, sensors, and data acquisition, and analyzing dynamic behavior (FFT, step response). brYou work in a structured, analytical, and detail‐oriented way and enjoy turning data into clear insights. brYou communicate clearly and document your work well, with professional proficiency in English. brBonus if you bring scripting skills, HIL or automation experience, or a background in robotics or motor control. We also offer you... brDirect impact on the control performance and quality of future robotic actuators. brStrong hands‐on laboratory focus with real hardware and real challenges. brIndividual contributor role with high technical ownership. brA dynamic and friendly workplace in our new Barcelona tech hub, combining startup energy with the stability of a Swiss industrial leader. brInternational exposure with daily collaboration across maxon locations. brOpportunities for continuous learning and growth through the maxon academy and professional development programs. brA permanent contract, competitive compensation, flexible working hours that supports work–life balance.
