Enact is seeking a hands-on mechatronics engineer to design, integrate, and test the electromechanical systems powering dexterous robots, including actuators, sensors, and electronics. You will lead system assembly and bring-up, debug across mechanics, electronics, and firmware, and build automated test setups to validate performance and reliability. Ideal candidates have 3+ years of experience with motors, sensors, and motor drivers, plus Python, hardware debugging, and CAD skills.
Key Highlights
Design, integrate, and test electromechanical systems for high-DoF dexterous robots.
Lead hardware bring-up and debugging across mechanics, electronics, and firmware.
Develop automated test setups and drive systems from prototype to series production.
Join an early-stage startup in central Zürich with visa sponsorship and relocation support.
Key Responsibilities
Design, integrate, and test electromechanical systems for dexterous robots, including actuators, joints, end-effectors, sensors, PCBs, and cable harnesses.
Lead system assembly and bring-up, debugging across mechanics, electronics, and firmware.
Collaborate with controls and AI engineers to build a fully vertically integrated manipulation system.
Develop and build automated test setups to validate performance, durability, and reliability, and take systems from prototype to series production.
Technical Skills Required
Electromechanical systems integration (motors, encoders, sensors, motor drivers)
Hardware debugging and testing (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, DAQ systems)
Python
Benefits & Perks
Opportunity to make a real impact on some of the biggest challenges of our time
