## Job description

NEURA Robotics entwickelt humanoide Systeme, die in kontaktintensiven realen Umgebungen arbeiten. In unserer Humanoid-Sparte arbeiten wir mit einer breiten Materialpalette: strukturelle Metalle, mikrozellulare Schäume, platinvernetzte Silikone, leitfähige Textilien und eingewebte Elektronik – oft innerhalb einer einzigen Baugruppe.

Wir suchen eine:n Ingenieur:in, der/die Materialauswahl, Prozessdefinition und Produktionsfreigabe als eigenständige Engineering-Disziplin versteht und sicher an der Schnittstelle zwischen starren Strukturen und weichen bzw. elektrisch aktiven Materialien arbeitet.

## DEINE MISSION & HERAUSFORDERUNGEN

- Du definierst und pflegst den Materialauswahl-Framework für Humanoid-Programme – inklusive struktureller, flexibler, leitfähiger und Verbundmaterialien
- Du spezifizierst weiche und hybride Materialien für „Skin“, Kontaktflächen und tragbare Baugruppen (Wearables) – inkl. mechanischer Eigenschaften, Haltbarkeit und Haftung auf festen Substraten
- Du entwickelst und dokumentierst Fertigungsprozesse für weiche Baugruppen: Gießen, Kleben, Laminieren, Nähen und Vergießen/Encapsulation
- Du erstellst technische Prozessdokumentationen, Arbeitsanweisungen und Erstbemusterungskriterien auf Engineering-Niveau, geeignet für externe Fertigungspartner
- Du übernimmst die Qualifizierung von Lieferanten für weiche Materialien, Textilien und zugehörige Verbrauchsmaterialien
- Du evaluierst und spezifizierst leitfähige Textilien und eingewebte elektronische Materialien (inkl. Garnauswahl, Webstruktur und Kontaktwiderstandsmanagement)
- Du baust eine interne Materialbibliothek auf und pflegst sie (Datenblätter, Testergebnisse, freigegebene Lieferanten und Anwendungshinweise)
- Du arbeitest eng mit Mechanical- und Electronics-Engineers zusammen, um materialbedingte DFM-Themen früh im Designprozess zu lösen

## AUF WAS KÖNNEN WIR UNS FREUEN

- Ein Studium in Materialwissenschaften, Maschinenbau, Textiltechnik oder einem vergleichbaren Bereich
- Hands-on Erfahrung in der Spezifikation und Verarbeitung elastischer/kompatibler Materialien wie Silikon, Polyurethanschaum, TPU oder ähnlichen Materialien im Produktentwicklungsumfeld
- Kenntnisse im Bereich leitfähiger oder elektronischer Textilien, inklusive Auswahl leitfähiger Garne und Management von Kontaktwiderständen
- Praktische Erfahrung im Nähen und in der Textilkonstruktion, um weiche Baugruppen spezifizieren und validieren zu können
- Erfahrung in der Qualifizierung von Materialien und Prozessen zusammen mit Auftragsfertigern oder externen Produktionspartnern
- Fähigkeit, klare und übertragbare technische Dokumentation für die Fertigung zu erstellen
- Erfahrung in Soft Robotics, Wearables, Medizintechnik oder High-Performance-Textilien ist ein großes Plus
- Sehr gute Englischkenntnisse sind erforderlich; Deutschkenntnisse sind von Vorteil
