Your mission
We are looking for a
Product Development Engineer - Driverless Vehicle Hardware(m/f/d) to support our Berlin engineering team in building our next generation driverless vehicle platform.
In this role, you will work end-to-end on prototypes and small series – from parts procurement, CAD design, and manufacturing technologies (3D printing, CNC, coating, laser cutting) through to hands-on assembly and initial software integration.
You should enjoy working in an interdisciplinary way, implementing fast iterations, and turning concepts into functional prototypes.
Your Responsibilities
- Responsibility for the entire prototyping process: parts procurement, CAD design, selection of suitable manufacturing methods (3D printing, CNC, laser cutting, coating).
- Assembly and integration of prototype components (mechanics, electronics, embedded systems).
- Rapid iterations from concepts to functional prototypes for vehicles and subsystems.
- Close collaboration with mechanics, electronics, and software teams to turn ideas into real systems.
- Maintenance and organization of workshop and lab equipment.
- Documentation of designs, test results, and lessons learned to support series development.
Your profile
- Completed degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, mechatronics, or equivalent qualification.
- Experience in CAD design (e.g. SolidWorks, Fusion 360, CATIA or similar).
- Knowledge of manufacturing technologies such as 3D printing, CNC machining, and laser cutting.
- Initial experience with electronics, wiring, and embedded software (e.g. Arduino, Raspberry PI, STM32 or similar microcontrollers).
- Hands-on mentality and willingness to quickly learn new tools and technologies.
- Strong problem-solving and prototyping skills.
Bonus qualifications:
- Knowledge of embedded C/C++ or Python for hardware control.
- Experience in automotive, robotics, or mobility prototypes.
- Understanding of interdisciplinary development teams.
Why us?
- Work on pioneering autonomous vehicle technology.
- A creative, practical work environment with access to workshop and lab equipment.
- Flat hierarchies and direct collaboration with the founding team.
- Competitive salary and long-term development opportunities in an innovative startup.
