Robotics Hardware Engineer

Permanent employee, Full-time · HQ - CH

Your mission

We’re looking for a hands-on and experienced Hardware Engineer to join our robotics development team and play a key role in building the electronic systems that power our indoor inspection drones. This is a multidisciplinary role in a fast-paced mechatronics environment, involving everything from high-speed digital design to power electronics and sensor integration. You’ll be working closely with mechanical and electronics engineers to develop robust, compact, and high-performance drone platforms. We're looking for someone who can contribute immediately and grow with the team as the company evolves.

 

  • Design and develop custom electronics and PCBs, including high-speed digital interfaces (e.g., USB, camera signals).
  • Develop power electronics systems, including battery management (BMS), power distribution, and motor control circuits.
  • Integrate and test diverse sensor payloads, such as cameras, IMUs, and other perception modules.
  • Collaborate with mechanical engineers to ensure tight integration of electronics into compact drone assemblies, considering thermal, EMI, and mechanical constraints.
  • Own schematic design, PCB layout, component selection, and hardware bring-up.
  • Lead and participate in design reviews, ensuring performance, manufacturability, and robustness.
  • Debug hardware at both board and system levels using standard lab tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, etc.).
  • Interface with suppliers and manufacturing partners for prototyping and production builds.
  • Support hardware testing, documentation, and reliability validation of designs.
Your profile
  • Master’s degree in Electronics Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.
  • 4–7 years of experience in electronics development, ideally in robotics, drones, or embedded systems.
  • Strong background in high-speed digital design and PCB layout using tools like Altium Designer or KiCad.
  • Proven experience with power electronics: battery systems, BMS, motor drivers, and power regulation.
  • Familiarity with integrating and testing sensor payloads (e.g., cameras, IMUs, range sensors).
  • Confident in hardware bring-up, system debugging, and cross-functional collaboration.
  • Understanding of mechanical integration challenges in mechatronic systems.
  • Well-organized with strong documentation and communication skills.
  • Bonus: Exposure to embedded Linux, ROS, or firmware development environments.
  • Bonus: Familiarity with design for manufacturing (DFM) and testing processes.
Why us?
  • Evolution in a dynamic, fast growing and exciting environment.
  • Have measurable impact in the projects that matter. 
  • Work with passionate, talented and committed teammates.
  • Be part of recognised robotics company. Consecutively rewarded as Swiss Top 100 Start-up and no 1 robotics start-up company 23/24
  • Ensure your growth and profit from continuous training
  • Be part of where humans are important!
  • Modern offices in a compound of buildings full of start-ups. 
  • A team-elected Chief Happiness Officer, making sure the shelves are always loaded with fruits, juices and cakes.
  • Access to personal benefits platform
  • Onsite restaurants/cafeteria and vending machines.
  • Onsite gym club, with reductions offered for start-ups.
