About the role
oin us in developing cutting-edge mechanical and electrical systems for robots that are already reaching customers worldwide.

We are primarily looking for full-time employees but remain open to contracting and internship opportunities.
When applying, please share pictures or videos highlighting your past projects to demonstrate your hands-on experience.
