Production Solutions Engineer (Tooling Engineer)

Target start date: Immediately. Relocation provided. (Please kindly send your resume in English.)

We are at the forefront of developing advanced humanoid robots designed for real-world applications. Our mission is to revolutionize manufacturing through safe, intelligent automation. As we transition from R&D to full-scale production, we are seeking an experienced Production Solutions Engineer (Tooling Engineer) to join our internal Production Engineering team.

In this role, you will be responsible for designing and commissioning jigs, fixtures, to streamline both manual and automated assembly processes (and potentially also supporting production test stations) for our next-generation bipedal humanoid robots. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to scale production from prototype development to high-volume manufacturing. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in Mechanical Design, Manufacturing or Industrial Engineering, experience in tooling and fixture design, proficiency with industrial automation systems, and hands-on experience in commissioning equipment as well. A solid understanding of GD&T and design for manufacturing principles (Design for Assembly, Design for Cost, Design for Quality...) are essential, along with a proactive, problem-solving attitude.

Why this job is exciting

Every day is different! You will get to...

• Define how humanoid robots and their components are assembled in a reliable and repeatable way, using cutting-edge tooling and automation solutions developed by you

• Be part of a pioneering industry and help shape the future of humanoid robot production

• Gain hands-on experience with state-of-the-art technology, expanding your technical skills and innovation capacity

• Thrive in an inclusive, supportive, and globally diverse culture

Within one month, you will…

• Familiarize yourself with our production processes, methodologies, and tooling needs

• Get up to speed with our humanoid platform (NEO) and the roadmap for scaling its assembly process

• Gain hands-on experience by working on the development and testing of a prototype jig or fixture

Within three months, you will…

• Be self-sufficient in leading the design and commissioning of new tooling for assembly and test stations

• Collaborate closely with the Supply Chain and Manufacturing teams to source components and ensure design for manufacturing and assembly (DFMA) principles are implemented

• Own all tooling designs and documentation related to your role in production engineering

Within one year, you will…

• Be the go-to expert for tooling (jigs, fixtures) and bespoke assembly solutions in your area of responsibility

• Lead production activities, including prototype builds and serial production trials, ensuring your tooling solutions meet quality and efficiency standards

This is an opportunity to work on groundbreaking technology and make a real impact in the future of humanoid robotics.

Requirements

Must-Haves:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or Industrial Engineering
