Mechanical Design Engineer

Mechanical Design Engineer (Robotics Experience)

Antoniq Robotics is harnessing the power of Physical AI to shape the future and sustainability of agriculture.

We're building one of the most advanced AI and hardware systems on the planet — embodied AI for agriculture: robots that perceive, decide, and act in demanding, real-world environments.

Behind every line of autonomy is hardware that has to survive the real world. We're focused on robust, serviceable, and manufacturable machines that can be deployed and maintained at scale. We're looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer to own the physical product end to end — from CAD through assembly, supplier engagement, and real-world deployment.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Own the design of mechanical components and assemblies for the robot, managing CAD through multiple product iterations
• Take ownership of the BOM, ensuring accuracy, version control, and alignment with procurement and production
• Work directly with suppliers - sourcing components, requesting quotes, managing lead times, and building strong relationships
• Support and improve assembly processes, creating clear documentation and getting hands-on where needed
• Spend time in the field - attending deployments, customer sites, and trials to understand real-world performance
• Collaborate closely with embedded systems and software teams to ensure seamless integration of sensors, wiring, and hardware
• Support product certification (CE marking, machinery directive), contributing to technical documentation and compliance testing
• Identify and implement design improvements based on field feedback, manufacturing constraints, and cost optimisation

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years in mechanical design or product engineering (robotics, machinery, or industrial equipment preferred).
• Strong proficiency in CAD (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or equivalent).
• Experience managing BOMs and working with suppliers/manufacturers.
• Hands-on experience with assembly and building physical products.
• A pull toward the physical world. You're comfortable in the field, engaging with real-world deployments.
• Exposure to product certification processes (CE marking, machinery directive, etc.) is a strong plus.
• Proactive, detail-oriented, and comfortable working across multiple workstreams in a fast-moving startup.

Logistics

• Candidates must have the right to work in Europe; no visa sponsorship is available.
• Hybrid / on-site working in Porto, Portugal.

Want to design robots that actually work in the field and shape the future of AgriTech robotics?
