Full Job Description
**Job Summary** We are seeking a Mechatronics Integration Engineer to join the Autonomy Team at KRUSH Labs in Eindhoven. This role will play a key part in designing, prototyping, and integrating the adaptive mechanisms — morphing airframes, articulated propulsion, and reconfigurable gimbal-mounted sensor heads — that enable KRUSH Labs’ next-generation autonomous platforms to operate in GPS-denied and perceptually challenging environments. The Mechatronics Integration Engineer will work closely with controls, perception, and firmware engineers to translate multibody dynamics, aerodynamic behavior, and mass-distribution insights into flight-ready hardware, and to support online system identification across changing platform configurations. This role combines hands-on mechanical design with cross-domain R&D, making it ideal for a mechatronics engineer who enjoys building novel hardware from first principles, working at the intersection of mechanics, aerodynamics, and control, and seeing their designs operate in the real world. **Requirements** **Key Responsibilities ** * Analyze project requirements related to robotic mechanisms, gimbal/sensor mounts, and their interaction with the autonomy and control stack * Design, prototype, and iterate on novel mechanical assemblies — including morphing airframes, variable-baseline stereo rigs, and multi-axis gimbal cameras — from concept through flight-ready hardware * Develop full kinematic and multibody dynamic models of reconfigurable platforms, including time-varying inertia tensors, CG migration, and joint constraints * Estimate, simulate, and support validate aerodynamic coefficients across morphing configurations (CFD, wind-tunnel, and flight-log identification) * Implement online system identification pipelines that update mass, inertia, aerodynamic, and actuator parameters during flight and feed them into the control allocator and estimator * Co-design mechanism behavior with flight-control engineers to ensure stable ope
