Mechanical engineer

Job title: Mechanical Prototyper Location: Kyiv, Ukraine Workplace type: On-site Job type: Full-time

Description

About the role We are a robotics wearable hardware company with a field office in Kyiv, and we are looking for a hands-on Mechanical Prototyper to turn designs into real parts, fast. You will take CAD files and instructions from our engineers abroad and produce finished parts within days, then fit them to our units on site. This is a builder role, not a design role.

Responsibilities

• Get parts made from engineering CAD: CNC aluminum, laser-cut and bent sheet metal, metal and nylon 3D printing, carbon fiber
• Work with suppliers to make designs easier to manufacture (tolerances, threads, radii, simpler geometry)
• Run same-day prints on our in-house 3D printer
• Hand-fit, drill, bend and assemble parts, and repair a unit within 24 hours when needed
• Fit new parts and upgrade our units between versions
• Build and maintain a network of fast local workshops
• Send a short daily update on what was made, what failed and what is at the supplier

Qualifications

• Mechanical engineering background with real prototyping experience: parts you made, not only parts you drew
• Strong CAD skills (SolidWorks, Fusion 360 or similar), including editing someone else’s model for manufacturability
• Good knowledge of machining, sheet metal and 3D printing
• Hands-on workshop skills: assembly, hand tools, drilling, bending, fitting
• Working English for daily calls and written messages
• Self-directed: you take a brief and return with finished parts
• Based in Kyiv and able to work on-site full-time

Nice to have

• Experience at a drone, ground-robot or fabrication company
• Existing relationships with Kyiv suppliers and workshops

What we offer

• A full-time role at our Kyiv field office
• Competitive compensation
• Direct work with our engineering team
• Start as soon as possible
