Robotics Mechancial Engineer

About this role

Who we are Helsing is a defence AI company. Our mission is to protect our democracies. We aim to achieve technological leadership, so that open societies can continue to make sovereign decisions and control their ethical standards. As democracies, we believe we have a special responsibility to be thoughtful about the development and deployment of powerful technologies like AI. We take this responsibility seriously. We are an ambitious and committed team of engineers, AI specialists and customer-facing programme managers.

We are looking for mission-driven people to join our European teams – and apply their skills to solve the most complex and impactful problems. We embrace an open and transparent culture that welcomes healthy debates on the use of technology in defence, its benefits, and its ethical implications. The role As a Robotics Mechancial Engineer, you will play a key role in the design and development of our robots. You will be responsible for creating robust and efficient mechanical mechanisms, assemblies, and systems that integrate with advanced robotic technologies.

This is an exciting opportunity to work with a multidisciplinary team of engineers, bringing together expertise in mechanical, electrical, and software engineering. The day-to-day Design and develop mechanisms, systems, and electromechanical assemblies for robotic applications, including structures, actuators, and motion systems. Collaborate closely with the electrical and software engineering teams to ensure seamless integration of mechanical designs into complete robotic systems.

Prototype, test, and iterate on mechanical designs to meet performance, cost, and manufacturability requirements. Analyze project specifications, materials, and manufacturing methods to ensure that designs meet both functional and production objectives. Use CAD tools (SolidWorks) to create detailed designs, 3D models, and engineering drawings. Participate in design reviews, contributing innovative solutions and improvements.

Conduct simulations, stress analysis, and FEA to ensure reliability, durability, and safety of the designs. Provide technical support and troubleshooting during product development and manufacturing processes. Stay up-to-date with the latest developments in robotics and mechanical design to incorporate cutting-edge technologies into our products. You should apply if you Hold a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field (Master’s preferred).
