Senior Computer Aided Design Engineer

Senior CAD Engineer - Humanoid Robotics - Munich - Onsite

Most robots never leave the demo floor. This one is being built to work a full shift in a factory.

We’re working with a European humanoid robotics company whose alpha robots are already being tested in the lab. Its founders have built the actuators many of today’s robots run on, helped write the first humanoid safety standards, and scaled companies to unicorn valuations. Its AI is led by a pioneer of data-efficient reinforcement learning. The company is funded and is now hiring the engineers who will design the robot’s body.

The role

You’ll own the robot’s mechanical structure, from concept through to production-ready CAD. That covers lightweight structures, actuation, clean load paths, and DFM/DFA built in from day one. You’ll work directly with the Technical Leads and the AI and controls teams, set the design standards for the team, and choose where to go deep: structures, actuation or simulation.

What you will bring

• 5+ years in robotics, automotive or aerospace, including complex hardware you’ve taken into production
• Expert CAD and FEA skills (CATIA, Fusion 360 and Abaqus are ideal)
• First-principles mechanical skills: bearings, fasteners, strength assessment and load paths
• A working understanding of kinematics, actuation, and how mechanics and control interact
• Experience designing for series production: parts reduction, tolerancing and cost-down

Why this role and company?

• Early equity, with a seat at the table while the architecture is still being set
• Your parts will end up in robots that ship, not in renders
• Work day to day with founders who have already built and scaled companies like this, and learn from them
