Mechanical Design Engineer – Robotics

About the role

Antoniq Robotics is harnessing Physical AI to shape the future and sustainability of agriculture. We are looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer to own the physical product end‑to‑end, from CAD through assembly, supplier engagement, and real‑world deployment.

Key responsibilities

• Own the design of mechanical components and assemblies for the robot, managing CAD through multiple product iterations.
• Take ownership of the BOM, ensuring accuracy, version control, and alignment with procurement and production.
• Work directly with suppliers – sourcing components, requesting quotes, managing lead times, and building strong relationships.
• Support and improve assembly processes, creating clear documentation and getting hands‑on where needed.
• Spend time in the field – attending deployments, customer sites, and trials to understand real‑world performance.
• Collaborate closely with embedded systems and software teams to ensure seamless integration of sensors, wiring, and hardware.
• Support product certification (CE marking, machinery directive), contributing to technical documentation and compliance testing.
• Identify and implement design improvements based on field feedback, manufacturing constraints, and cost optimisation.

Required profile

• 3+ years in mechanical design or product engineering (robotics, machinery, or industrial equipment preferred).
• Strong proficiency in CAD (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or equivalent).
• Experience managing BOMs and working with suppliers/manufacturers.
• Hands‑on experience with assembly and building physical products.
• Comfortable working in the field and engaging with real‑world deployments.
• Exposure to product certification processes (CE marking, machinery directive, etc.) is a strong plus.
• Proactive, detail‑oriented, and comfortable working across multiple workstreams in a fast‑moving startup.

Required skills

• SolidWorks
• Fusion 360
• CAD
