Mechanical Technician

R&D

Kyiv, Ukraine

Full-time

The Mechanical Engineer of the UGV team is responsible for the design, development and technical integrity of the mechanical part of the platform of the unmanned ground robotic complex. The role focuses on the creation and evolution of the basic mechanical solutions of the platform, which are the basis for further integration, customization and serial use. Ensures structural reliability, durability and reproducibility of mechanical solutions in real operating conditions.

Сore responsibilities

UGV Platform Mechanical Design

  • Design and development of basic mechanical components and structures of the UGV platform

  • Formation of the mechanical architecture of the platform

  • Definition of basic structural solutions and platform standards

  • Ensuring compatibility of mechanics with electronic, RF and embedded systems

Structural Integrity & Durability

  • Ensuring the required indicators of strength, rigidity and durability of platform structures

  • Analysis of loads, vibrations, shocks and wear

  • Taking into account difficult operating conditions when designing mechanical solutions

  • Establishing solutions to increase the durability and maintainability of the platform

Platform Standardization & Scalability

  • Development of standard mechanical solutions for the entire UGV platform

  • Supporting repeatability and scalability of mechanical components

  • Providing a basis for integration and customization without disrupting the platform

Manufacturing & Production Readiness

  • Designing solutions taking into account serial production

  • Preparation and maintenance of design documentation

  • Interaction with production on the implementation of mechanical solutions

Verification & Validation

  • Participation in bench and field tests of the basic platform

  • Validation of mechanical solutions as part of the UGV

  • Analysis of test results and updating of mechanical solutions of the platform

Key Competencies & Skills:

  • Strong skills in mechanical design of basic platforms

  • Practical experience in engineering design and analysis of mechanical systems

  • Knowledge of principles of materials science and tolerance and fit systems

  • Experience in designing for complex operating conditions

  • Systems engineering thinking

  • Experience with platforms or mass production equipment is an advantage

Language Requirements:

  • Ukrainian - fluent

  • English - Upper-Intermediate (B2) or higher

Values Alignment:

  • Mission-first thinking and focus on platform reliability

  • Responsibility for basic mechanical solutions and their consequences

  • Orientation on standards, repeatability and long-term operation

  • Readiness to work with complex engineering tasks

  • Clear and substantive interaction with by related teams

What Success Looks Like After 6 Months:

The mechanical solutions of the base platform are stable, reproducible, and withstand field loads. The platform does not require constant design changes and is a reliable basis for integration and customization. The engineer is perceived by the team as the owner of the mechanical part of the UGV platform and a reliable technical support.
