Mechanical Design Engineer, Injection Molding – Humanoid (human)

Open 17d

Your mission & challenges

In our humanoid robotics department, we are seeking several outstanding humanoid robot developers to join our team. Your responsibilities will be:

  • Development and design of injection-molded components and assemblies for humanoid robot systems

  • Design for Manufacturing (DfM) and Design for Assembly (DfA) with a focus on suitability for series and large-scale production

  • Design of plastic components under mechanical, thermal, and dynamic loads

  • Close cooperation with toolmaking, manufacturing, suppliers, and external injection molding service providers

  • Definition of material selection (e.g., engineering thermoplastics, fiber-reinforced plastics)

  • Analysis and reduction of warping, sink marks, weld lines, and tolerance problems

  • Support for sampling and series production start-ups

  • Technical responsibility for plastic components throughout the entire product life cycle

What we can look forward to

Must-have:

  • Degree in mechanical engineering, plastics technology, mechatronics, or comparable field

  • Several years of experience in the design of injection molded parts

  • Very good knowledge of injection molded component design:

    • Wall thicknesses

    • Radii

    • Rib and snap connections

    • Draft angles

  • Experience with engineering plastics (e.g., PA, PBT, PC, ABS, PPS, fiber-reinforced)

  • Confident use of CAD systems (CREO, SolidWorks, NX)

  • Understanding of tolerance chains and quality assurance

  • Knowledge of simulation (e.g., FEM, multibody)

  • Good knowledge of German or English

Nice-to-have:

  • Knowledge of Moldflow/injection molding simulation

  • Experience with hybrid components, insert molding, or overmolding of metals
