Advanced Materials Engineer, Humanoid Systems (human)

NEURA Robotics is building humanoid systems that operate in contact\-rich real\-world environments. Across our humanoid division we work with a broad materials palette: structural metals, microcellular foams, platinum\-cure silicones, conductive textiles, and woven electronics, often within a single sub\-assembly. We are looking for an engineer who treats materials selection, process definition, and manufacturing qualification as a first\-class engineering discipline, and who can work fluidly across the boundary between rigid structures and soft or electrically active materials.

Your mission \& challenges
------------------------------

• Define and maintain the materials selection framework across humanoid programmes, covering structural, compliant, conductive, and composite categories


• Specify soft and hybrid materials for skin, contact, and wearable sub\-assemblies: mechanical properties, durability, and adhesion to rigid substrates


• Establish and document manufacturing processes for soft assemblies: moulding, bonding, lamination, stitching, and encapsulation


• Produce engineering\-grade process documentation, work instructions, and first\-article inspection criteria suitable for external manufacturing partners


• Own supplier qualification for soft materials, textiles, and associated consumables


• Evaluate and specify conductive textiles and woven electronic materials, including yarn selection, weave architecture, and contact resistance management


• Build and maintain an internal materials library covering datasheets, test data, approved suppliers, and application notes


• Work embedded with mechanical and electronics engineers to resolve materials\-driven DFM issues early in the design cycle

• Degree in materials science, mechanical engineering, textile engineering, or a closely related field


• Hands\-on experience specifying and processing compliant materials: silicone, polyurethane foam, TPU, or equivalents in a product development context


• Working knowledge of conductive or electronic textiles, including conductive yarn selection and contact resistance management


• Practical stitching and textile construction knowledge sufficient to specify and validate soft assemblies


• Experience qualifying materials and processes with contract manufacturers or external production partners


• Ability to produce clear, transferable engineering documentation for manufacturing


• Background in soft robotics, wearable technology, medical devices, or high\-performance apparel is a strong advantage


• English fluency required; German working proficiency is an advantage
