Mechatronic/Robotics Technician

Overview

We are seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented Mechatronics / Robotics Technician to join our team full-time. This role goes beyond assembly — the ideal candidate will not only build drones and related systems but also design and implement test benches, onboard modules, and prototypes to support development, testing, and production. This is a hands-on position that combines electronics, mechanical assembly, and problem-solving, making it ideal for someone with a passion for drones, robotics, or related technologies.

Responsibilities and Duties

• Assemble drones and subsystems (mechanical, electrical, and electronic) based on schematics, drawings, and specifications.
• Perform precise soldering, wiring, and component integration.
• Integrate sensors, flight controllers, and peripheral modules.
• Design and build custom test benches, fixtures, and rigs for validating drone software, components and systems.
• Design and implement automated processes and test rigs for continuous integration tests. 
• Perform functional and stress testing on drones, modules, and electronics.
• Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues with electrical, mechanical, or software-related systems.
• Assist with the design and fabrication of new modules, models, and prototypes.
• Utilize 3D printing, machining, and basic CAD tools for rapid prototyping.
• Collaborate with engineers to refine designs and suggest improvements.
• Ensure compliance with safety and quality standards during assembly and testing.
• Maintain accurate logs of assembly processes, test results, and component performance.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of processes, documentation, and workflows.

Qualifications and Skills

• Hands-on experience in electronics, robotics, or mechanical assembly. Experience with drones, RC aircraft is a plus (professional or hobbyist).
• Proficiency in soldering, wiring, crimping, and electrical troubleshooting.
• Experience with CAD software (e.g., Onshape, Fusion 360, SolidWorks, or similar) and 3D printing techniques.
• Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, schematics, and manuals.
• Knowledge of embedded systems, sensors, and flight controllers is a plus.
• Strong attention to detail with a problem-solving mindset.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively within a team.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities.
• DE/EU Citizenship is a must have.
