Flink Robotics, an ETH Zurich spin-off startup building autonomous robots for material handling, is hiring a hardware/robotics engineer (intern or recent graduate) in Zurich. The role involves designing, assembling, integrating, and testing robot hardware — mechanics, electronics, and sensors, including the gripper — hands-on in their workshop.
Flink Robotics is a fast-paced startup, out of ETH Zurich's Computational Robotics Lab, building autonomous robots that can handle any item - including ones they've never seen before. We're revolutionising material handling, from stacking boxes to sorting parcels and unloading goods.
Are you a student or recent graduate eager to kickstart your career? We are looking for Mechanical, Electrical or Robotics Engineers to join our hardware team and apply their skills to hands-on robotics.
Who you are
Eager to join a VC-backed startup and take on real responsibility from the start
Passionate about robotics, with a keen interest in working with physical products most of the time
Strongly motivated to get things done and get your hands dirty
Proactive, curious and a clear communicator (fluent English)
What you bring
A Bachelor's or Master's degree (completed or in progress) in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering or robotics
First hands-on experience with physical hardware
Analytical, technical and problem-solving skills that you can apply to real-world solutions
Bonus: CAD experience and basic GD&T; prior robot builds or personal and academic projects (maker builds, competitions); electrical or PCB design experience; familiarity with Linux
What you'll do
Design, assemble and manufacture new features for our robots, including our gripper
Integrate all components of the robot (mechanics, electronics, sensors) into a working system
Test and validate the hardware and help improve it based on the results
Support the hardware team in the further development and manufacturing of our robots
Why join
An ambitious team building a product with huge potential
Cutting-edge robotics problems
Competitive salary and top-tier gear
Based in Zurich, working hands-on with the robots in our own workshop
