Mechatronics Technician Job at Sereact in Stuttgart

Sereact GmbH has a full-time, on-site opening in Stuttgart for a Mechanic / Mechatronics Technician for Robot Systems. Based at Schockenriedstr. 17 within Engineering and Hardware R&D, the position centres on the mechanical assembly, adjustment and upkeep of autonomous robot systems. It is a practical role for someone who can turn drawings, components and measurements into reliably functioning physical equipment.

The work reaches across the robot cell rather than stopping at a single subassembly. It includes building mechanical and mechatronic units, drives and structural elements, then testing and maintaining the systems through development, production and operation. The technician also works closely with electronics and software colleagues while supporting installations and commissioning at customer locations. The posting calls for willingness to travel around half of the time.

Opportunity Details

Mechanical Work Across the Robot Cell

Assembly, testing and field readiness in Stuttgart Hardware R&D

This vacancy covers the practical mechanics behind complete robot cells. The appointed technician will assemble and install the cell, its mechanical or mechatronic assemblies, drives and structural components. Frames, grippers, axes and sensor mounts are built from technical drawings, so the role requires a methodical approach to fitting components together before the system moves into its next stage.

Precision is part of the everyday scope. Mechanical systems must be aligned, adjusted and fine-tuned in line with applicable safety and quality standards. The vacancy also includes mechanical design support under relevant guidelines and standards, plus contributions to technical drawings and bills of materials. This makes the position relevant to both hands-on build work and the controlled documentation that supports a robot system.

Before delivery and installation, the mechanical systems are tested and commissioned. During development, manufacturing and ongoing operation, the technician diagnoses and resolves mechanical faults, carries out regular maintenance and safety checks, and replaces worn parts when necessary. Coordination with electronics and software teams supports the integration of mechanical components into the robot cell’s physical structure.

Application Guidance

Show Evidence of Precise Mechanical Practice

Focus preparation on robot-cell assembly, measurement and safe adjustment

Formal training opens the door, while the description stresses practical build work on robot systems, so show evidence of both. Consider describing examples where you assembled mechanical units from drawings, aligned moving components, installed drives or produced a careful corrective action after a fault was found. Clear, factual examples are more useful than broad claims of technical ability, particularly for work involving complete robot cells and pre-delivery checks.

It can also help to organise evidence around the methods named in the posting. Applicants may explain their experience with calipers, dial indicators or torque wrenches, their approach to mechanical safety checks, and occasions when they worked alongside electrical, electronics or software colleagues. If relevant, reflect honestly on readiness for customer-site work and travel, since installation and commissioning are part of the stated scope.
