Senior Mechanical Engineer (Wearable Devices)

Location: Zurich, Switzerland

Company

Developing full-stack dexterous manipulation systems, including Video-Action Models, dexterous hand hardware, and wearable data-collection devices for robotics.

What you will do

• Own the wearable device’s mechanical architecture, including kinematics, fit, ergonomics, and usability.
• Balance device accuracy, component packaging, robustness, and wearer comfort.
• Integrate sensors, flexible PCBs, cabling, and embedded components with electrical and firmware engineers.
• Build, test, and rapidly iterate prototypes based on hands-on testing and user feedback.
• Set the mechanical design direction as the wearable moves toward scaled production.
• Coordinate with external suppliers and manufacturing partners.

Requirements

• Strong mechanical engineering background with experience developing products that interact closely with the human body.
• Experience with wearables, prosthetics, orthotics, exoskeletons, haptics, medical devices, or related products.
• Strong understanding of ergonomics, variable body geometry, comfort, and usability.
• Experience integrating sensors or electronics into mechanical systems.
• Strong CAD and prototyping skills with iterative hardware development experience.
• Ability to independently solve open-ended engineering problems and make architectural decisions.

Nice to have

• Experience with flexible electronics, soft goods, silicones, or other human-contact materials.
• Experience taking hardware from prototype toward production, including certification.
• Experience with tactile sensing, hand tracking, or force sensing.
• Experience working with external manufacturers or suppliers.
