Kickmaker is a high-tech product design and industrialization agency.

We support our customers from prototype to production run in our main vertical markets (medical, new mobility, electrification, agrotech, robotics, IOT and consumer devices) and our cross-disciplinary skills (embedded AI, high-tech manufacturing automation, eco-design, industrial design and WEB 3.0 for the economy of functionality).

We're evolving with a real maker culture! Passion, excitement and kindness are the pillars of KICKMAKER. This team and community spirit has enabled us to shape a unique corporate culture. Our approach: to enable everyone to fulfill their potential by working on exciting projects, and to encourage autonomy and initiative.

Present in France, China and the United States, our community counts over 250 passionate kickers and keeps growing. It is in this context that we are looking to strengthen our team in Boston, Seattle and San Fransisco.

The role involves mechanical design, prototyping, and testing of subassemblies that integrate actuators, motors, and electronics into high-performance robotic mechanisms.
You will collaborate with electrical and software engineers to bring mechanical concepts to life ; from CAD to bench testing to working robots.
