Mechatronics R&D Engineer
As a Mechatronics R&D Engineer at Helsing, you will be instrumental in designing and developing innovative marine robots. You will collaborate closely with electronic engineers, roboticists, and test and production engineers to create robust, scalable, and cost-effective solutions that enhance the performance of Helsing's defense systems.
Your primary responsibilities will include owning the mechanical design of parts and full assemblies, creating design concepts based on comprehensive requirements and analytical assessments, producing 3D and 2D documentation to ensure proper form, fit, and function of components, applying the latest design and drawing standards with a strong consideration for manufacturing aspects, developing robust, scalable, and cost-effective components, defining and executing validation tests for technical maturation, and creating comprehensive design documentation in accordance with company guidelines and quality standards.
The ideal candidate will have several years of experience in mechatronic design, ideally for underwater robotics or similar demanding applications, a Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or a related field, outstanding hands-on experience with 3D/2D CAD and PLM tools (preferably Solidworks/PDM or Siemens NX/Teamcenter), proven knowledge of ASME/ISO drawing standards, mechanical design standards, and analysis capabilities for mechanical elements, knowledge of the constraints associated with the underwater maritime environment, excellent written and verbal communication skills in English, eagerness to drive fast-track developments and realize innovative solutions, and enjoyment of working in a fun, highly flexible environment.
Helsing offers a focus on outcomes, not time-tracking, competitive compensation and stock options, relocation support, social and education allowances, regular company events and all-hands to bring together employees as one team across Europe, and a hands-on onboarding program (affectionately labeled "Infraduction"), in which you will be building tooling and applications to be used across the company. This is your opportunity to learn our tech stack, explore the company, and learn how we get things done - all whilst working with other engineering teams from day one.
