Mechanical Design Engineer, Injection Molding - Humanoid (Human)

Neura Robotics

Zürich, Switzerland

Your mission & challenges

In our humanoid robotics department, we are seeking several outstanding humanoid robot developers to join our team. Your responsibilities will be:

• Development and design of injection-molded components and assemblies for humanoid robot systems;
• Design for Manufacturing (DfM) and Design for Assembly (DfA) with a focus on suitability for series and large-scale production;
• Design of plastic components under mechanical, thermal, and dynamic loads;
• Close cooperation with toolmaking, manufacturing, suppliers, and external injection molding service providers;
• Definition of material selection (e.g., engineering thermoplastics, fiber-reinforced plastics);
• Analysis and reduction of warping, sink marks, weld lines, and tolerance problems;
• Support for sampling and series production start-ups;
• Technical responsibility for plastic components throughout the entire product life cycle.

What we can look forward to

Must-have:

• Degree in mechanical engineering, plastics technology, mechatronics, or comparable field;
• Several years of experience in the design of injection molded parts;
• Very good knowledge of injection molded component design:
  • Wall thicknesses;
  • Radii;
  • Rib and snap connections;
  • Draft angles.
• Experience with engineering plastics (e.g., PA, PBT, PC, ABS, PPS, fiber-reinforced);
• Confident use of CAD systems (CREO, SolidWorks, NX);
• Understanding of tolerance chains and quality assurance;
• Knowledge of simulation (e.g., FEM, multibody);
• Good knowledge of German or English.

Nice-to-have:

• Knowledge of Moldflow/injection molding simulation;
• Experience with hybrid components, insert molding, or overmolding of metals.
