Mechanical Engineer – Acoustic AI Systems

About the role

Omnisent is seeking a Mechanical Engineer to develop and test aerial and robotic platforms for its next‑generation acoustic AI sensing systems. You will work in a fast‑paced, interdisciplinary team to turn sound into real‑time intelligence.

Key responsibilities

• Design, assemble, and modify aerial and robotic platforms used for system testing.
• Build mechanical test rigs and fixtures for acoustic, RF, and structural evaluations.
• Plan and execute controlled‑lab experiments, including data collection and documentation.
• Rapidly prototype using FDM, SLA, SLS, CNC machining, and waterjet cutting.
• Contribute to enclosure and component designs that balance acoustics, thermals, durability, and manufacturability.
• Maintain product lifecycle tasks such as BOM management, revision tracking, and test documentation.
• Prepare fixtures and prototypes for external testing houses and manufacturing partners.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to bring deep‑tech products from concept to deployment.

Required profile

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related discipline.
• Strong foundation in mechanical design and manufacturing processes.
• Hands‑on, practical mindset with experience in prototyping and testing.
• Organized working style with attention to documentation and design traceability.
• Strong communication skills in English (German a plus) and EU work authorization.

Required skills

• Proficiency with CAD tools (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Onshape, etc.).
• Experience with rapid‑prototyping methods: FDM, SLA, SLS, CNC machining, waterjet cutting.
• Mechanical design, BOM maintenance, revision tracking, and test documentation.
• Exposure to FEA or simulation tools (preferred).

What we offer

• Highly competitive cash compensation with virtual stock options.
• Accelerated learning and growth in a fast‑moving deep‑tech environment.
• Opportunity to make a real impact on acoustic sensing technology.
