About the Job

At ARX Robotics, hardware is not a support function — it is the foundation of everything we field. As a Mechanical Design Engineer in our R&D team, you will own the full mechanical design lifecycle: from early concept and 3D modeling through prototyping, testing, and handover to production.

This is a hands-on role where your decisions carry real weight.

Key Responsibilities:

• Create, design and optimize mechanical assemblies and components for product improvement.
• Create 3D models and 2D drawings that translate engineering intent into manufacturable reality.
• Prepare complete design documentation packages aligned with ISO, GD&T, and other relevant standards.
• Develop and test prototypes that go from the bench to the field, ensuring they are refined and built to survive real-world conditions.
• Ownership of individual projects and taking responsibility for their final quality and timely completion.
• Driving projects from initiation through to completion.

• Engineering of R&D solutions (product design, specification preparation, coordination of manufacturing and testing activities).

   

Qualifications:

• 2-3+ years of experience in mechanical engineering or hardware R&D.
• Confident command of 3D modeling and 2D drafting tools (e.g., Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, Fusion 360).
• Practical experience with 3D printing technologies (FDM, SLS, SLM).
• Solid understanding of mechanics, materials science, and engineering tolerances.
• Experience working with metal construction design.
• The ability to prepare a full design documentation package for production.
• Background in R&D environments, showing you are comfortable with iteration, uncertainty, and building things that do not yet exist.
• Upper-Intermediate English to communicate clearly with international teams and partners.
• A mindset that balances technical precision with pragmatic, fast iteration.

Would be a plus:

• Practical experience with manufacturing processes (metal parts production).
• Experience in electrical design (EPLAN electric).

• Experience in embedded systems development or hardware with embedded components.

   

We Offer:

• Impactful Work: A high-impact role shaping next-generation technologies used by leading world armies and first responders.
• Professional Growth: Opportunities for development and training, including potential programs in Germany.
• Direct Feedback: Close collaboration with end-users and the chance to see the immediate impact of your work in the field.
• Agile Environment: A fast-paced work culture with minimal bureaucracy.
• Medical Insurance.
• Office-based role: Monday to Friday, 09:00–18:00.

Please note: You do not need to meet every single requirement to apply. We welcome motivated candidates who are eager to grow into the role and develop their expertise further.
