Role & Mission
As a Mechatronics Engineer, you will contribute to the full development cycle of motorized and embedded systems. You will work on the integration of mechanical assemblies, electronic control systems, and embedded software to deliver robust, reliable, and high-performance prototypes and products.
Embedded Programming & Motor Control
Program and configure motor controllers (BLDC, DC, stepper)
Develop embedded software on microcontrollers (C/C++, Python)
Implement real-time control algorithms
Optimize motor performance, precision, and reliability
Mechatronic System Design
Design and integrate motorized mechanical systems
Develop mechanisms such as:
Opening / closing systems (enclosures, hatches, actuators)
Controlled lighting systems
Rail-guided or mobile displacement systems
Select actuators, sensors, and transmission components
Ensure mechanical-electrical-software coherence
Prototyping, Testing & Validation
Build and iterate on functional prototypes
Conduct system-level testing and validation
Perform debugging in lab and field environments
Improve robustness, reliability, and maintainability
System Integration
Ensure seamless interaction between mechanical, electronic, and software components
Contribute to system architecture decisions
Support integration with higher-level control systems
Candidate Profile
Engineering degree in mechatronics, robotics, embedded systems, or similar (with strong mechanical background)
