Robotics & Mechatronics Engineer Co-founder

Join Us in Revolutionizing District Heating Inspections!

Are you passionate about robotics, automation, and developing real-world solutions? We are a DTU-based startup building a cutting-edge predictive maintenance solution for district heating systems. Our technology enables in-pipe condition assessments using advanced probe technology and data analytics, providing leak detection and maintenance insights without excavation or operational interruptions.

We are looking for a technical co-founder to lead the development of robotics and mechatronics and help shape the future of non-destructive testing (NDT) solutions for district heating infrastructure.

Your Role

• Design and develop a robotic system capable of navigating and performing inspections inside district heating pipes.

• Research and adapt existing robotic technologies for confined-space environments.

• Lead prototyping, testing, and refining the system for functionality and durability.

• Oversee or assist with the integration of hardware and software components.

• Work closely with a multidisciplinary team to ensure a scalable and market-ready solution.

What We’re Looking For

Technical Expertise

• Background in robotics, mechatronics, mechanical engineering, or a related field.

• Proficiency in CAD software for mechanical design.

• Hands-on experience with sensors, actuators, and microcontrollers (e.g., Arduino, Raspberry Pi).

• Knowledge of pipe inspection systems or robotics for confined spaces is a plus.

Programming Skills

• Experience in Python, C++, or ROS (Robot Operating System).

• Understanding control systems, computer vision, or machine learning is an advantage.

Collaboration & Practical Experience

• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work in uncertain environments. 

• Experience with prototyping, 3D printing, or industrial production systems.

• Familiarity with materials testing for extreme conditions.

Ideal Background

• Previous experience in startups, industrial robotics, or pipe inspection technologies.

• Familiarity with the district heating industry or related infrastructure systems.

What we offer

An exciting opportunity to work in an innovative startup and fill the role of a technical co-founder.

You'll gain access to technical mentors, advanced machinery, and industry expertise through a startup incubator. Work from DTU Skylab (Lyngby) or MADE Manufacturers (Copenhagen V), collaborating closely with our CEO, Liza, in a hands-on, impact-driven environment.
