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 a Technical Operator at R3 Robotics, you will be a hands-on expert assembling, testing, and troubleshooting complex mechanical and electrical systems for our cutting-edge battery disassembly technology. With meticulous attention to detail and proficiency in hand tools, power tools, and precision instruments, you’ll transform designs into functional prototypes and production-ready machinery.
Working closely with engineers and cross-functional teams, you’ll debug systems, optimize performance, and ensure every component meets our high standards of quality and sustainability.
This role is perfect for a skilled technician who thrives in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment and takes pride in turning innovative ideas into tangible, world-changing solutions.
Your Responsibilities
- Lead 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 andcontrolsengineers to debug,optimize, and iterate on early-stage systems.
- 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.
- Own the prototyping bill of materials (BOM), vendor sourcing, and custom part ordering in collaboration with engineering and procurement.
- Assist 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.
