Robotics Engineer / Versuchs- /Laboringenieur

Location: Zürich Oerlikon, Switzerland

Employment Type: Full-time

Working Mode: On-site

At Flexion, we’re building the intelligence layer powering the next generation of humanoid robots. Our mission is to accelerate the transition from fragile prototypes to real-world humanoid deployment. We are founded by leading scientists in robot reinforcement learning (ex-Nvidia, ex-ETH Zürich), and backed by leading international VC firms. In just months, we’ve gone from our first line of code to deploying real humanoid capabilities.

We are looking for a versatile and driven Robotics Technician with a passion for hands-on technical work. In this role, you will support the development, testing, and maintenance of humanoid robots. You will work closely with a team of engineers to ensure the functionality and continuous improvement of robotic systems.

• Perform regular maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair of humanoid robots to ensure operational reliability
• Design, build, and maintain testing equipment and infrastructure to support robotics research and development
• Configure, calibrate, and validate robots to enable efficient testing of new features and systems (e.g. Motion Capture Devices, Actuator Testbench, Cranesystems)
• Collaborate with engineers to provide hands-on support in prototyping and experimentation
• Document processes, testing outcomes, and improvements to support cross-team knowledge sharing

• Technical apprenticeship in Automation, Electronics, or Mechanical Design or similar with further education such as FH/HF
• 3+ year of experience as a technician/engineer in a R&D environment, with a strong focus on mechatronics, prototyping and testing
• 3+ years of experience in the development and/or maintenance of mechatronic products.
• Professional working proficiency in English

• Hands-on experience with robotic systems (setup, operation, maintenance)
• Experience with mechanical work (e.g., running a prototype workshop, machining, repairs,..)
• Experience with electronics work (e.g. soldering, PCB design, debugging electrical systems, ...)
• Knowledge of C++ and/or Python
• A "hacker" attitude excited to dive into technical challenges, motivated by rapid prototyping, and inspired to find creative solutions

• Competitive compensation package
• A front-row seat at one of Europe’s most ambitious robotics companies
• An energetic, collaborative team with a bias for action
• The opportunity to help shape the team’s culture from the ground up
