About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Develop, validate, and maintain simulation models for robotic drive systems, including motors, gearheads, sensors, controllers, and mechanical loads.
Create simulation workflows to evaluate drive performance, thermal behavior, control response, and system-level requirements.
Work closely with robotics, control, and application engineers to translate real-world drive behavior into reliable simulation models.
Improve simulation accuracy, model usability, and visualization of key drive-system parameters.
Support the development of user-friendly simulation interfaces, dashboards, or web-based tools that help engineers configure, run, and interpret simulations.
Contribute to simulation methods, validation approaches, reusable model libraries, and supporting software tools for robotic drives.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechatronics, Robotics, Control Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
Experience with simulation, modeling, or system analysis tools such as Python, MATLAB/Simulink, Modelica, or similar.
Strong interest in robotic actuators, drive systems, control engineering, and mechatronic system behavior.
Ability to analyze simulation results, compare them with measurements, and communicate technical findings clearly.
Programming skills in Python or similar languages are expected; experience with full-stack development, web interfaces, APIs, or data visualization is a strong advantage for building simulation tools.
