Summary ✨ AI‑Generated

Design and develop high-precision, low-backlash gearboxes for robotic drive systems, taking components from initial concept to manufacturing readiness. You will define tolerances, materials, lubrication, and bearing concepts, work with simulation specialists on service life and stiffness, build and test prototypes, and coordinate technically with suppliers.

Highlights

Develop high-precision, low-backlash gearboxes for robotic drives from concept through series production. The role combines mechanical design, simulation, prototyping, testing, and supplier collaboration in an advanced robotics environment.

Description

This is where Artificial Intelligence comes to life The Mechanical Development team designs the drives, structural parts, and peripherals of our robots. From first concept to manufacturing-ready drawing, this is where lightweight, precise, and series-ready components come to life. Your mission & challenges You develop high-precision, low-backlash gearboxes for robotic drives and bring them to series maturity together with suppliers and simulation.
