Mechanisms, Mechatronics and Robotics Engineer (m/f/d)

Internal Development of Mechanisms and Robotics Systems Define and analyze technical requirements and develop concepts for space mechanisms, mechatronic systems and robotic applications. Support the complete development lifecycle from concept definition through verification and delivery, considering performance, manufacturability, reliability, cost and schedule constraints.

Coordinate technical activities with multidisciplinary engineering teams, including Mechanical, Structural, Thermal, Electrical and Optical Engineering. Perform requirement flow-down, interface management and technical budget management at subsystem and equipment level. Take technical ownership of assigned mechanism or robotic equipment and support its development throughout the project lifecycle.

Select, specify and size mechanism and drivetrain components such as motors, sensors, bearings, gear stages and transmission elements. Evaluate mechanical designs, engineering drawings, manufacturing concepts and tolerance allocations with respect to functionality, manufacturability and reliability. Perform technical analyses, trade-offs and simulations to support engineering decisions regarding performance, manufacturability, reliability, verification and cost, using tools such as MATLAB/Simulink and MSC ADAMS.

Support Assembly, Integration and Test (AIT) activities through active participation in integration and test campaigns, troubleshooting support and assessment of verification results. Support the development and evaluation of future robotic technologies and applications for space missions. Contribute to technical proposals, internal R D activities and the continuous improvement of departmental methods, processes and technologies.

Technical Supply Management (TSM) of External Developments Act as Technical Supply Manager (TSM) for externally developed mechanism, mechatronic and robotic subsystems. Serve as a technical interface between suppliers, project teams and engineering disciplines throughout the project lifecycle. Define technical requirements, interfaces, technical budgets and acceptance criteria for subcontracted developments, support their proper flow-down to supplier level and contribute to the closure of related technical issues.

Review and assess supplier-proposed concepts, analyses, designs, manufacturing documentation and verification evidence to ensure compliance with project requirements. Monitor technical progress, requirement compliance, risks, non-conformances and mitigation activities throughout the supplier development lifecycle. Support the preparation, execution and close-out of technical reviews and milestones, including SRR, PDR, CDR, QR and TRR activities.

Coordinate and support verification, qualification, acceptance and integration activities, including participation in major subsystem test campaigns when required. Support the successful delivery of compliant, verified and fully documented subsystems in accordance with project requirements. Provide concise technical reporting and recommendations to project management and internal stakeholders.
