In our MiPA Robotics team, we are developing the next generation of cognitive mobile robots designed to operate safely and intelligently in human environments. As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you will take ownership of complex mechanical systems and drive product development from concept to production.
Your responsibilities will include:
Development, design, and optimization of mechanical systems for the MiPA robotics platform
Design of structural assemblies, robot body components, mounting systems, mechanisms, and integrated electromechanical subsystems
Creation of CAD models, technical drawings, engineering documentation, and bills of materials
Performing strength, stiffness, tolerance, and durability analyses
Driving Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) throughout the development process
Supporting prototype build, integration, validation, and testing activities
Close collaboration with electronics, controls, software, systems engineering, and manufacturing teams
Selection of suitable materials, manufacturing technologies, and production processes
Ownership of engineering data quality, documentation standards, and revision management
Contributing to technical decision-making, design reviews, and product architecture discussions
Must-Have
Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics, or a comparable field
10+ years of experience in mechanical product development
Strong expertise in mechanical design, machine elements, and complex electromechanical systems
Experience with CAD software such as SolidWorks, Creo, or Siemens NX
Strong understanding of structural mechanics, tolerancing, and manufacturing processes
Experience creating and maintaining technical documentation and BOMs
Familiarity with DFM/DFA methodologies
Understanding of complete mechatronic systems
Structured and independent working style with strong ownership mentality
Good German and/or English communication skills
Nice-to-Have
Experience in robotics, automation, autonomous systems, or mobile machinery
Experience with PDM/PLM systems such as SolidWorks PDM or Windchill
Knowledge of machining, sheet metal, castings, injection molding, or assembly processes
Experience leading technical projects or mentoring engineers

What We Do
NEURA Robotics is a German high-tech company founded in 2019 in Metzingen near Stuttgart with the vision to revolutionize the world of robotics. More than 180 team members from over 30 countries are working on advanced technologies in the fields of environmental perception, drive and control technology, material science, mechanical design, and artificial intelligence. We are expanding the cognitive capabilities of robots and make breakthrough advances in a variety of areas to bring robots and humans closer together, making many areas of work more attractive, creative, and social again. That's why everything we do runs under the guiding principle "we serve humanity". In a very short period of time, NEURA Robotics has developed robots and technologies that are characterized above all by their outstanding performance as well as safe and human-centred way of working. In this way, a wide variety of application fields can be covered, from intelligent production to medical technology. All major robot components are developed and designed in-house.
