About
the Role at RobCo At RobCo, we develop AI-powered robotic systems that make industrial processes more autonomous, efficient, and scalable. Our Autonomous Manufacturing Platform combines modular industrial hardware with physical AI, enabling rapid deployment and continuous optimization in real production environments. With locations in Munich, San Francisco, and Austin, and backed by leading investors such as Lightspeed, Lingotto Innovation, and Sequoia, we are working to redefine industrial automation. At RobCo, we automate the ordinary, so humans can do the extraordinary. To achieve this, we are looking for an ambitious Working Student - Mechanical Engineer (m/f/d) to help us establish RobCo as leading provider of automation solutions. As a member of the Robot Engineering Team, you will play a crucial role in designing, building and testing prototypes, as well as setting up and deploying test benches. Your work will include developing mechanical and mechatronic systems, creating technical drawings, 3D printing components and prototyping and testing them. You will support
the team in daily operations and contribute to various stages of mechanical and robotic module development, assembly, and testing. While your mechanical engineering background is key, you will also have the opportunity to expand your skills in mechatronics, basic electronics, and scripting for testing workflows. Your
Responsibilities Designing, constructing, building and testing prototypes Making technical drawings and communicating them with suppliers Designing and 3D printing mechanical components Assembling robotic modules (e.g. motors, endeffectors) Creating partlists and handing them over to production Supporting day-to-day team operations We're looking for someone who has: You need to hold a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field Hands-on experience with mechanical design and prototyping Proficiency in technical drawing and CAD software (preferably Solidworks or similar) is necessary Experience with 3D printing technology is a plus Demonstrated history of working in fast-paced, technical environments
