Jobs at Kickmaker

Develops Kickmaker’s regional client portfolio through prospecting, sales meetings, tailored technical proposals, negotiations, and contract closure. Builds relationships with clients, partners, and internal staff; oversees partner projects, monitors market opportunities, supports recruitment, tracks KPIs, supervises junior sales personnel, and ensures process and HSE compliance. The role requires technical sales experience, an engineering or related technology background, and strong knowledge of the Seattle industrial and technology ecosystem.

Identify, prospect, and qualify technology-focused business partners across the West Coast through outbound calls, field visits, trade shows, and industry events. Build relationships with decision-makers, understand client needs, co-develop proposals with engineering teams, support US candidate sourcing, and report sales activity through KPIs. The role requires a strong interest in technology or hardware, initiative, communication skills, and availability for a six-month full-time internship.

Develop embedded firmware and software for customer projects from requirements through production. Responsibilities include firmware design, microcontroller and Embedded Linux development, testing, documentation, integration, continuous deployment, and iterative customer feedback cycles. The role also supports electronics testing, HSE compliance, eco-design, product lifecycle analysis, and CSR improvements across projects in robotics, medical devices, mobility, and other high-tech markets.

Design, prototype, test, and improve mechanical systems for robotic actuators, joints, and assemblies. The role includes motor sizing, wiring layouts, thermal management, CAD development, GD&T, sensor and electronics integration, bench validation, and collaboration with manufacturing partners on casting, machining, and assembly. The engineer will also support automation and system integration during robotic builds.

Develops electronic hardware from requirements and architecture through prototyping, testing, certification, manufacturing documentation, and production support. Designs schematics, PCB layouts, wiring, and manufacturing files; coordinates with suppliers and EMS partners; conducts validation testing; supports EMC, radio, and electrical safety certification; and contributes to quality, HSE, eco-design, lifecycle analysis, and ESG improvement initiatives.

Drive regional business development by prospecting, conducting sales meetings, shaping technical proposals, negotiating contracts, managing partner projects, and identifying market opportunities. The role also supports recruiting, employee relationships, assignment follow-up, KPI reporting, junior sales supervision, process quality, and HSE compliance. Candidates need sales experience, technical product knowledge, familiarity with the Austin industrial and technology ecosystem, and an engineering or mechanical, electronics, or robotics background.

Designs and develops firmware and software components for client product-development projects. Responsibilities include analyzing technical challenges, conducting unit and functional testing, maintaining documentation, managing continuous integration and deployment, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, and incorporating client feedback during iterative development cycles. The role supports requirements qualification and technical project follow-up across industries including robotics, medical devices, automotive, mobility, and AI-driven hardware.

Design, build, test, and deploy robotic systems and components. Develop control algorithms, perception systems, and navigation strategies; integrate hardware and software for autonomous systems; conduct simulations and real-world testing; troubleshoot technical issues; and collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and software engineering teams.

Design, prototype, and test mechanical systems for robotic actuators, joints, and assemblies. Create detailed 3D and 2D CAD designs with GD&T, perform motor sizing and thermal management, integrate sensors and electronics, and support bench testing and robotic system integration. Collaborate with electrical, software, and manufacturing teams on machining, die casting, assembly, validation, and iterative product improvement across multiple customer projects.

The Robotic Engineer will design, implement, and test robotic systems, optimize control algorithms, integrate systems, and collaborate with teams on various projects in robotics and AI.

The Mechanical Engineer will design and test mechanical systems for robotics, collaborating with electrical and software teams while ensuring manufacturability and performance of prototypes.

Support hardware development from requirements and architecture to production: PCB CAD (Altium, Circuit Studio, Eagle, KiCad), prototyping, manufacturing documentation (Gerber, BOM), testing with oscilloscopes/multimeters/spectrum analyzers, certification support (EMC, radio, electrical safety), EMS supplier consulting and on-site manufacturing support, and participation in eco-design and product lifecycle analyses.

Design and develop electronic hardware from requirements through production: PCB CAD, prototyping, test and validation, manufacturing documentation, supplier consultation, certification support (EMC/radio/safety), on-site EMS support, and implementing eco-design and lifecycle analyses.
