Valve Design Engineer

We’re seeking a mechanical engineer skilled in valve design and R&D to join Clone Robotics. You’ll develop fluid-driven systems for biomimetic robots, working in a hands-on lab environment. Please note that the job is 100% on-site from our office in Wrocław, Poland.

What You’ll Do:

• Design and engineer precision valves (e.g., pinch, ball, gate, plug, pressure-regulating, flow control, hydraulic).
• Run fluid dynamics simulations (CFD) to optimize valve performance.
• Iterate designs using real-world experiments, measurements, and CFD results.
• Work with Electronics teams to integrate valves into ready-to-use systems.
• Create production-ready documentation, including technical drawings and 3D models.
• Source components and communicate with suppliers.
• Prototype and test design hands-on.
• Build testing rigs and prepare documentation for testing engineers.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related field.
• 3+ years of engineering experience, with expertise in valve design.
• Experience designing valves (e.g., pinch, ball, gate, plug).
• Proficient in CAD (Fusion 360 preferred).
• Skilled in fluid dynamics analysis (OpenFOAM, or similar).
• Experience with basic electronics, including calculating required power and torque, understanding differences between motor types (e.g., DC, stepper, servo), and selecting appropriate motors for specific applications.
• Hands-on prototyping and iterative design experience.
• Clear technical communication skills for reports and explaining systems.
• Fluent in English (written and spoken).
• Ability to build testing rigs and prepare documentation for testing engineers.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with hydraulic or pneumatic actuators in robotics.
• R&D experience in robotics, medtech, or biomimetic systems.
• Knowledge of mechanical production (e.g., molding, CNC, additive manufacturing).
• Familiarity with fluid system standards.
• Basic skills in Blender or Rhino.

Compensation:

• Pay Range (B2B): 80-110 PLN/h netto on invoice (+VAT)
