Join us in solving one of industrial robotics' toughest challenges

R3 Robotics is developing the AI-powered dismantling platform that transforms end-of-life electric vehicle systems into strategic sources of critical materials. As global electrification accelerates, the surge in batteries and e-motors requires automated solutions that manual disassembly cannot provide. We are addressing this industrial bottleneck by enabling the automated dismantling of complex systems at scale through computer vision, artificial intelligence, and specialized robotic tooling.

Following a successful €20M Series A funding round led by HG Ventures and Suma Capital, we are expanding across Europe and preparing for our entry into the United States market in 2026. We partner with major industrial recyclers and automotive OEMs to deliver measurable impact. If you seek to work on advanced robotics within a well-funded organization scaling internationally, this is your opportunity

YOUR ROLE

As an Engineering Technician at R3 Robotics, you'll be a hands-on expert that transforms complex physical products (like batteries and e-drives) into digital assets. This involves getting deep into the product: disassembling and reversing existing products to identify their complexities, meticulously collecting data and recording key insights. This is a practical, hands-on role that requires hard work in a lab environment.
You will utilize your expertise to assemble, test, and troubleshoot mechanical and electrical systems for our cutting-edge battery disassembly technology.

Working closely with engineers, you'll also conduct engineering assessments to identify opportunities for automation and potential designs for our automated disassemble process
This role is perfect for a skilled technician who thrives in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment and takes pride in turning innovative ideas and physical product insights into tangible, world-changing digital solutions.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

• Lead the hands-on disassembly, reverse engineering, and meticulous data collection of complex products (batteries, e-drives) to facilitate digital transformation.
• Conduct engineering assessments of the reverse engineering process to identify opportunities for automation and improved efficiency in data capture.
• Support hands-on prototype builds, mechanical assemblies, and system integrations for custom disassembly machinery and tools.
• Translate complex mechanical designs and drawings into working assemblies with high precision and craftsmanship.
• Partner closely with mechanical and controls engineers to debug, optimize, and iterate on early-stage systems based on real-world product insights.
• Provide DFM/DFA (Design for Manufacturing and Assembly) feedback during product development cycles.
• Design and fabricate jigs, fixtures, and prototype components using CNC, manual machining, and fabrication tools.
• Manage the workshop environment, including equipment, tools, materials, and safety compliance.
• Assist, when needed, with the integration of actuators, motors, sensors, pneumatics, and control hardware into working machines.
• Support first-article testing, validation, and troubleshooting of full machines and robotic cells, and mentor junior technicians
