Senior Mechanical Design Engineer
Pplwise, Munich
The role
This is an on-site/hybrid role in Munich, close to engineering and assembly.
Filics builds its own robot hardware in-house: mechanics, electronics and software. Orders are growing, and the robots are moving from prototypes to series production. Designs that worked in the lab now need to be built reliably, at scale and at the right cost. The hardest problems often sit between disciplines: parts that work on their own can fail once they're assembled with the electronics.
The mechanical team has four engineers, most of them at the start of their careers, and they need someone who guides them every day. You'll be the technical lead for the mechanical side of the product and the counterpart to the electronics lead, so the current mechanical manager can focus on core R&D. Your time splits roughly evenly between hands-on engineering and technical leadership. You'll work closely with Electronics, Production, Procurement and the CTO, and you'll set the engineering habits while the team is still small.
