• Work with existing CAD models (currently using Autodesk Fusion 360, but open to other CAD tools).
• Create and refine mechanical components and assemblies.
• Assist with prototype development and mechanical integration.
• Perform mechanical assembly of robots and autonomous forklifts.
• Collaborate with the engineering team to ensure design feasibility and manufacturability.
• Provide input on improvements and optimizations for mechanical systems.

Requirements

• Proven experience in mechanical design and assembly.
• Proficiency in CAD software (Fusion 360 preferred, but SolidWorks, CATIA, or similar acceptable).
• Strong understanding of mechanical systems, tolerances, and materials.
• Ability to work independently and communicate effectively with the team.
• Hands-on experience assembling mechanical systems and troubleshooting issues.
• Located near Munich or able to travel for onsite work occasionally.
• Flexible availability (approx. 10–15 hours per week).
