- Prepare simple assemblies, design updates, and modifications under supervision
- Support routine engineering tasks and documentation preparation
- Fabricate basic prototypes using R&D tools, equipment, and rapid prototyping methods (e.g., 3D printing, manual machining, laser cutting)
- Assemble mechanical units or subsystems for internal evaluation and testing
- Conduct basic functional and fit tests under guidance and document results
- Maintain organized and accurate logs of prototype builds, changes, and test results
- Support the creation and update of bills of materials (BOM), assembly drawings, and test reports
- Work closely with engineers, electronics developers, and textile designers to align mechanical components with system needs
- Participate in design reviews and provide hands-on insights based on prototyping experience
- Provide feedback on design-for-manufacturability and assembly based on prototyping experience
- Contribute ideas for improving tools, processes, and efficiency in mechanical prototyping
Required Qualifications
- Ongoing or completed university-level education in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Industrial Design, or a related field
- Relevant hands-on experience gained through personal hobby projects, university labs, or internships
- Intermediate proficiency in CAD software (preferably SolidWorks or equivalent)
- Basic understanding of mechanical design principles and materials
- Familiarity with prototyping equipment (3D printers, hand tools, lab tools)
- Strong attention to detail and a hands-on mindset
- Ability to follow instructions precisely and document work clearly
- Proactive, organized, and curious about product development processes
- Strong command of written and spoken English (Level C1+)
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a remote environment
- Excellent problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience working with wearable technology, robotics, or small form-factor products
- Familiarity with interdisciplinary R&D (electronics, textiles, etc.)
- Exposure to lab or workshop environments and collaborative prototyping workflows
Working Conditions
- This position is located in Prague, Czech Republic and requires regular travel to our Prague R&D office
- Ability to work in a workshop or lab environment, including use of hand tools and prototyping equipment
- Manual dexterity for assembling small mechanical components
- Ability to stand or sit for extended periods during testing or assembly
- Occasionally lift or handle materials or prototypes up to 10–15 kg
What we offer
- Competitive salary commensurate with experience
