Job Description
Empower Robotics Innovation at INGENIARIUS
Are you a hands-on enthusiast with a passion for building mechatronics systems for the real world? INGENIARIUS is looking for a Mechatronics Intern/Technician/Engineer ready to make a tangible impact through creative mechatronics design and practical implementation in sectors such as agriculture, forestry, construction, and others.
Bring Robots to Life
We are seeking candidates with a technical mindset and practical experience in the design and prototyping of mechatronics systems, with an emphasis on robotics. Whether you hold a technical course (e.g. CTeSP), BSc or MSc in mechanical, electrical, or mechatronics - or have gained equivalent experience through practice - we value initiative, creativity, and a problem-solving attitude above all.
If you have skills in the following areas, we want to hear from you:
3D CAD Modelling (preferably in SolidWorks): mechanical design of robot parts and assemblies
PCB Design (preferably using Eagle): layout, routing, and prototyping of custom electronics
Hands-on Electrical & Mechanical Work: soldering, wiring, mechanical assembly, circuit design and testing
Sensor and Actuator Integration: wiring and testing motor drivers, encoders, IMUs, LiDARs, and other field-robotics components
Rapid Prototyping & Troubleshooting: iterative design, diagnostics, and debugging on hardware-in-the-loop systems
Firmware Development (bonus): C/C++ programming microcontrollers and ARM-based boards
Join the INGENIARIUS Family
At INGENIARIUS, we lead the way in designing autonomous mobile robots for outdoor, unstructured environments. Our goal is to bridge research and field-ready innovation by building systems that are robust, intelligent, and resilient to the realities of nature and industry.
With more than a decade of experience and a growing portfolio of European and national R&D projects, we are at the frontier of robotics in sectors that truly need it most. Our collaborative track record includes academic and non-academic partners across the globe.
