Senior Mechanical Engineer H/F - Robeauté

At Robeauté we are developing a really small microrobot for novel therapies in hard-to-reach areas of the body.

Designed specifically for the brain, at the service of neurosurgeons, our microrobot will BE able to freely navigate in other complex regions of the body to perform biopsies, collect precise anatomically localized data and deliver therapies on site, at the right dosage.

We are accompanying a major shift from robotic surgery to microrobotic surgery, for greater precision, better results and bold new therapies to tackle global diseases affecting more than a billion people worldwide.

Our microrobot will light a spark in the minds of medical practitioners and scientists around the world, allowing them to imagine and create more effective treatments, to BE delivered locally.

We are a pluridisciplinary and multicultural team of passionate, skilled, supportive and creative people, at the crossroads of microrobotics, engineering and medicine. We work with phenomenal medical centers and university labs in Europe and the United States.

Our team is growing and we are constantly on the lookout for highly-talented individuals. Working with us means working on something that has never been done before, so you will BE challenged - and you will BE supported.

We are team players, with both classical and atypical backgrounds, so unconventional thinking is welcome and good communication skills are a must.

We are based in Paris, France.At Robeauté, we are building the next generation of neurotechnologies - microrobots capable of navigating inside the brain to diagnose, monitor, and treat neurological conditions with unprecedented precision and minimal invasiveness. To bring our breakthrough devices from advanced prototypes to certified medical products, we are recruiting a Mechanical Engineer to join our R&D team.
