About the Role
Design, build, and optimize mechatronic systems integrating mechanical assemblies, electrical controls, and sensor technology into production solutions. Work at the intersection of mechanical and automation engineering teams to turn concepts into reliable, high-performing equipment for Berlin-based production facilities.
Responsibilities
- Design and prototype mechanical components and custom fixtures using CAD for new equipment, upgrades, and process improvements.
- Build and test prototypes on the shop floor, iterating based on feedback before finalizing designs.
- Support commissioning of new machinery and production lines, including installation, functional testing, and troubleshooting startup issues.
- Plan and execute engineering projects from scoping and timelines through cross-functional coordination to final delivery.
- Track project progress, flag risks early, and keep stakeholders aligned.
- Troubleshoot and resolve mechanical, mechatronic, and automation issues on production equipment to minimize downtime.
- Diagnose root causes, apply fixes, and feed learnings back into preventive maintenance.
- Support and manage relationships with equipment and component suppliers, including sourcing, requesting quotes, and evaluating options.
- Act as the technical point of contact for supplier follow-ups, repairs, and warranty issues.
- Drive continuous improvement initiatives to optimize equipment performance, throughput, and reliability.
- Use downtime and performance data to identify bottlenecks and validate the impact of changes.
- Create and maintain technical documentation, including SOPs, maintenance plans, drawings, and equipment records.
- Collaborate closely with production, quality, and R&D teams to support day-to-day manufacturing operations.
- Act as an engineering point of contact on the floor and help translate new processes into production-ready setups.
Requirements
- Combine mechanical and electrical engineering skills with a passion for building integrated production systems.
- 3-5 years of professional experience in mechanical or interdisciplinary engineering roles in industrial or manufacturing environments.
- Experience in food production, FMCG, or other hygiene-critical industries is a strong plus.
- Strong cross-disciplinary technical skills from CAD-based mechanical design through fabrication and prototyping to hands-on troubleshooting of mechanical and automated equipment.
- Experience with supplier management and coordination of technical development topics.
- Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
- Experience with commissioning of machinery or production lines.
- A structured, quality-focused approach to technical documentation.
- Understanding of European and German machinery safety requirements (Machinery Directive, CE marking) is a plus.
- A proactive, solutions-oriented mindset with the ability to adapt quickly in a fast-paced, dynamic startup environment.
- Strong communication skills in both English and German are a must.
