Senior Mechatronics Engineer
What you need
- 3-5 yrs mechanical/electromechanical production design (robotics, automation, automotive)
- Strong CAD and DFM: sheet metal, welded frames, machining, 3D printing, tolerances
- Prototype to repeatable build with documented assembly instructions
- Hands-on machine tools, 3D printers, bench assembly
- Electrical integration: wiring, motors, sensors
What you'll do
- Redesign arm structure for stiffness, assemblability, volume production
- Finalize welded steel base for in-house build and quick install
- Improve gripper mechanism for customer packing items
- Build assembly line: fixtures, jigs, instructions, QC for daily robot assembly
- Design cable routing, connectors, strain relief with electrical engineer
InLoop builds warehouse robots that run fully autonomously in customer warehouses today. The fleet is growing quickly, and the demand is huge.
We're hiring a senior mechatronics engineer to take our robot from working prototypes to a design we can build a hundred times. You'll work next to our head of hardware on the arms, torso, base and gripper, and own how they get built.
This is a hands on role. You design a part in CAD in the morning and fit it on the robot in the afternoon.
What you'll work on first
- Arm redesign. Redesign the arm structure around the motors and gears we use today, so it's stiffer, easier to assemble and ready for volume.
- Base. Finish our new welded steel base and make it simple to build in house and quick to install on site.
- Gripper. Improve the gripper mechanism for the items our customers actually pack.
- Assembly line. Build our in house assembly line with the team so one person can assemble a robot in a day: fixtures, jigs, work instructions and QC checks.
- Electrical integration. Route cables, place connectors and design strain relief together with our electrical engineer.
What we're looking for
- 3 to 5 years designing mechanical and electromechanical systems that went into production: robot arms, mobile robots, automation equipment or automotive
- Strong CAD and design for manufacturing: sheet metal, welded frames, machined and 3D printed parts, tolerances
- You've taken a design from prototype to a repeatable build and written the instructions so someone else can build it
- Hands on with machine tools, 3D printers and assembly on the bench
- Comfortable on the electrical side: wiring, motors, sensors
Nice to have
- Actuator and gearbox design
- FEA and stiffness analysis
- Sourcing and supplier management in Europe or China
- German
- Driving license

About InLoop Robotics
We are building AI-native fulfillment powered by robotics. Warehouses without human labor that get better, faster, and cheaper with every order. Most robotics companies wait until their system is perfect before deploying. We don't. We ship imperfect policies into real warehouses, detect failures in real time, recover automatically when we can, and bring in a remote human operator when we can't. Every failure becomes training data. Every intervention makes the system better. The result is a fulfillment system that continuously learns from production.
