Mechanical Engineer – Robotics

About the role

Aerones is looking for a hands-on, analytical Mechanical Engineer to design the mechanical systems that let its robots work reliably on wind turbines. The work runs from CAD model to prototype to commissioning in the field, so you will see exactly how your designs perform. The position is full-time and based in Riga.

Key responsibilities

• Design mechanical systems, assemblies and components for robotic equipment in SolidWorks, from concept to production-ready design.
• Carry out structural strength calculations and engineering analysis to confirm designs are reliable and safe.
• Select materials, standard components and manufacturing processes, applying design for manufacturing and assembly principles.
• Prepare and maintain technical documentation: 3D models, manufacturing drawings with tolerances and bills of materials.
• Integrate drives, actuators, sensors and control hardware, working with electrical and automation engineers.
• Oversee prototype manufacturing and assembly with production and suppliers.
• Plan and run prototype and validation tests, analyse results and feed findings back into the design.
• Improve existing equipment based on field feedback and failure analysis, and evaluate new technologies.
• Take part in on-site testing and commissioning of robots at wind farms.

Required profile

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics or a related field.
• Proven experience in a mechanical engineering role designing mechanical systems and assemblies.
• Good understanding of electronics and industrial automation principles.
• Latvian and English proficiency; excellent collaboration and communication skills.
• Nice to have: experience designing robotic, automated or heavy-duty field equipment.

Required skills

• SolidWorks or similar 3D CAD software, from concept to production-ready design.
• Structural strength calculations and engineering analysis.
• Nice to have: simulation or FEA tools such as SolidWorks Simulation or ANSYS, and GD&T.

What we offer

• Salary of €2,800–€3,500 gross per month.
• Health insurance after the probation period and extra Health Recovery Days.
• Paid study leave and learning support.
• Life-event benefits and team events.
