Who we are ?
At Kickmaker, we don’t just make products;
We bring bold ideas to life.
We’re a crew of 300+ engineers & experts (aka “Kickers”) obsessed with turning prototypes into reality, from robotics to medical devices to the next-gen consumer gadgets. We move fast, think big, and keep it eco-conscious.
We work with the dreamers and the disruptors — from fresh startups to global industry leaders — and we make sure innovation stays true to its purpose and values.
We’re growing our US Mechanical Engineeringteam :
The role involves mechanical design, prototyping, and testing of subassemblies that integrate actuators, motors, and electronics into high-performance robotic mechanisms.
You will collaborate with electrical and software engineers to bring mechanical concepts to life ; from CAD to bench testing to working robots.
What you’ll do
- Design and develop mechanical systems for actuators, robotic joints, and assemblies.
- Perform motor sizing, wiring layout, and thermal management for compact electromechanical systems.
- Create detailed 3D and 2D designs using SolidWorks / PTC Creo, ensuring GD&T compliance for manufacturability.
- Participate in bench testing, validation, and iterative improvement of actuator and robot prototypes.
- Work with manufacturing partners on aluminum die casting, machining, and assembly processes.
- Integrate sensors, motors, and control electronics within mechanical designs.
- Support automation and system integration during robotic builds.
What you bring
- Strong background in mechanical + mechatronic design
- Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or Automation…
- 2–5 years of hands-on design and prototyping experience in robotics or similar fields.
- Experience with actuators, motion systems, and sensors Knowledge of thermal and wiring constraints
- Hands-on mindset, you like bench testing and iteration
- Proficient with SolidWorks / Creo / GD&T
