Mechatronics Development Engineer
You’ll be working with the core technology Alva is built on. This is a highly interdisciplinary role blending different fields of engineering. You’ll join a hands-on team that thrives on rapid prototyping, open collaboration, and continuous learning. We emphasize early prototyping and practical testing to validate ideas and guide development. This allows us to identify challenges early and refine solutions before committing to detailed designs.

Working in our small team means:
-
You take ideas from concept to reality
-
You’ll split your time between desk work and workshop time - doing experiments, building machines, assisting production, and more
-
You won’t hand a design over to another department and never see it again - you get to follow it all the way into operation
-
Minimal admin and meetings → more time spent building
