Mechanical Engineer (f/m/d)

Founded in late 2024, Omnisent is a Munich-based acoustic AI company developing next-generation sensing systems that turn sound into real-time intelligence. The team combines deep expertise in physics, machine learning, and mechanical engineering — united by a mission to unlock the untapped intelligence of the acoustic world.

At the core of Omnisent’s innovation are ultra-low-power sonic devices and the company’s Large Acoustic Model (LAM) — a foundation model trained on the complex world of non-speech audio. This unique combination enables the real-time detection, classification, and localization of acoustic events — whether identifying drones in contested airspace or tracing air leaks in manufacturing systems.

Tasks

• Design, assemble, and modify aerial and robotic platforms used for system testing.
• Build mechanical test rigs and fixtures for acoustic, RF, and structural evaluations.
• Plan and execute experiments in controlled lab environments, including data collection and documentation.
• Rapidly prototype using FDM, SLA, SLS, and subtractive methods such as CNC machining and waterjet cutting.
• Contribute to enclosure and component designs that balance acoustics, thermals, durability, and manufacturability.
• Own product lifecycle tasks, including BOM maintenance, revision tracking, and test documentation.
• Prepare fixtures and prototypes for external testing houses and manufacturing partners.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to help bring a deep-tech product from concept to real-world deployment.

Requirements

Basic Requirements:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related discipline.
• Strong foundations in mechanical design and manufacturing processes.
• Proficiency with CAD tools (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Onshape, etc.).
• Hands-on, practical mindset with experience in prototyping and testing.
• Organized working style with attention to documentation and design traceability.
• Strong communication skills in English (German a plus).
• EU work authorization.

Preferred Requirements:

• Experience working on drones, robots, or electromechanical systems.
• Exposure to FEA or simulation tools.
• Experience collaborating with testing labs or external engineering partners.
• Interest in large-scale sensing and advanced monitoring technologies.
