About this Opportunity

About EnactThe next defining technological breakthrough will be in the physical world. We stand at a historical inflection point: bringing general-purpose intelligence into robotics.At Enact we rethink the entire robotic tech stack from model architectures and data pipelines, to the actuators and sensors that feed the model. Pushing beyond pure vision and language approaches, we build a proprioceptive nerve system, and the cortex that makes sense of it, to solve dexterity through whole-body force-awareness and deploy robots for thousands of tasks in industry and beyond.We are shaping a company where brilliant and unconventional people thrive together on solving the hardest challenges of our time. We are truth seekers. We reason from first principles, test our beliefs against reality, and trust that the best ideas can come from anyone. We move fast. We care deeply about our work and colleagues and are driven by passion to change the status quo.If this resonates, we're excited to hear from you.In This Role You WillDesign mechatronic systems for robotic manipulation: structural components, linkage mechanisms, actuators, and cable/sensor integrationOwn development end-to-end — from concept and system architecture through prototyping, testing, and series productionRapid-prototype new concepts to validate ideas quickly, then rigorously analyze (FEM, tolerance stack) and test in to lab to bring them to production qualityCollaborate closely with manufacturing partners and internal electronics, controls, product, and deployment teamsWhat We're Looking ForDegree (BSc/MSc/PhD) in mechanical engineering or related field3+ years working experience designing and developing complex mechatronic systemsStrong CAD skills (e.g., OnShape) and PDM experienceHands-on with rapid prototyping (3D printing, laser cutting), workshop tools, and prototype assembly/testingSolid grasp of common manufacturing methods such as CNC machining, sheet metal, 3D printing, tooled parts (e.g., injection molding), and precision assemblyCuriosity to interface and collaborate with adjacent areas: electronics, software/firmware, robot control, teleoperationFluency in English (spoken and written), with strong interpersonal and communication skills.Bonus Points If You HaveHands-on development experience of high DoF robotic systems (e.g., robotic arms, end-effectors, humanoids)Development experience of actuator systems (frameless motor, gearbox, housing)Experience in the design and integration of electronic PCBs and cable-harnessesThermal management and cooling system designWhat we offerThe opportunity to make a real impact working on some of the biggest challenges of our timeA fast-paced learning environment alongside an outstanding, driven teamOwnership from day one, with the ability to iterate quickly and see your impact firsthand in an early-stage startupVisa sponsorship & relocation benefits to hire the best in the worldA world-class in-person setup in central Zürich, with excellent prototyping, robotics, and technical infrastructure for hands-on buildersCompetitive compensation and meaningful equity participationFind more English Speaking Jobs in Switzerland on Arbeitnow
