Hive Robotics is building Europe's first full\-stack orchestration platform for unmanned systems, connecting, controlling, and commanding multi\-vendor drone and robot swarms. Our RF communication systems are Made in Germany, deployed on active frontlines, and targeting a €5B European tactical communication market with zero sovereign alternatives today.
We are looking for a Mechanical Engineer to support the mechanical design and integration of our electronic hardware portfolio, from rapid prototypes to field\-ready serial production. You will work closely with our electronics and manufacturing teams to bring robust, ruggedized hardware from concept to the field.
If you enjoy hands\-on mechanical work combined with electronics, fast iteration cycles, and making hardware survive real\-world conditions, this role is for you.
#### **Verantwortlichkeiten**
**Design \& Integration**
* Support the mechanical design and integration of electronic components across our hardware portfolio, including communication modules, autopilot hardware, GNSS systems, antenna designs, ground\-station devices, and more * Contribute to moving products from concept to prototype to serial production * Support material selection and design decisions for ruggedized, field\-ready hardware
**Prototyping \& Testing**
* Build and test prototypes using rapid fabrication methods (3D printing, machining) * Support hardware bring\-up, environmental \& thermal testing, and regulatory compliance activities (e.g., CE, EMC) * Create and maintain test setups, fixtures, and validation procedures
**Cross\-functional Collaboration**
* Work closely with electronics, electrical, and manufacturing partners on integration into customer platforms (drones, UGVs, maritime systems) * Support supply chain and make/buy decisions in the mechanical domain * Document designs, tests, and production workflows with high clarity
#### **Anforderungen**
**Must Have**
* Bachelor's or Master's degree in mechanical, aerospace, electrical, or mechatronics engineering * 2\+ years of experience in mechatronics, hardware prototyping, or industrialization (robotics, automotive, aerospace, consumer electronics, or similar) * Hands\-on experience with prototyping methods: machining, 3D printing, rapid fabrication * Good CAD proficiency (Fusion360, CATIA, NX, or similar) * Basic experience with electronics testing tools (oscilloscopes, harnessing, board bring\-up) * Strong documentation, communication, and cross\-functional collaboration skills * Fluent English and strong German
**Nice to Have**
* Experience with environmental, thermal, connector, or ruggedized design * Experience with robotic systems (UAVs, UGVs, maritime platforms) * RC/drone pilot or hobby robotics background * Knowledge of EMC, reliability, or environmental testing standards * Experience with international suppliers or industrial partners * Basic software/scripting experience for testing or data logging
#### **Über uns**
**Why Hive**
* Real ownership from day one in a fast\-scaling deep\-tech company with products already in serial production and in the field. * Work on sovereign European technology that matters, at the intersection of robotics, RF, and autonomy. * Small, high\-caliber team with short decision paths and direct access to founders and architects. * Modern office in Munich with the tooling and equipment you need to do your best work.
