Product Development Engineer

Your mission
We are looking for a
Product Development Engineer - Driverless Vehicle Hardware(m/f/d)
to support our Berlin engineering team in building our next generation driverless vehicle platform.

In this role, you will work end-to-end on prototypes and small series – from parts procurement, CAD design, and manufacturing technologies (3D printing, CNC, coating, laser cutting) through to hands-on assembly and initial software integration.

You should enjoy working in an interdisciplinary way, implementing fast iterations, and turning concepts into functional prototypes.

*Your Responsibilities*

• Responsibility for the entire prototyping process: parts procurement, CAD design, selection of suitable manufacturing methods (3D printing, CNC, laser cutting, coating).
• Assembly and integration of prototype components (mechanics, electronics, embedded systems).
• Rapid iterations from concepts to functional prototypes for vehicles and subsystems.
• Close collaboration with mechanics, electronics, and software teams to turn ideas into real systems.
• Maintenance and organization of workshop and lab equipment.
• Documentation of designs, test results, and lessons learned to support series development.

Your profile

• Completed degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, mechatronics, or equivalent qualification.
• Experience in CAD design (e.g. SolidWorks, Fusion 360, CATIA or similar).
• Knowledge of manufacturing technologies such as 3D printing, CNC machining, and laser cutting.
• Initial experience with electronics, wiring, and embedded software (e.g. Arduino, Raspberry PI, STM32 or similar microcontrollers).
• Hands-on mentality and willingness to quickly learn new tools and technologies.
• Strong problem-solving and prototyping skills.

Bonus qualifications:

• Knowledge of embedded C/C++ or Python for hardware control.
• Experience in automotive, robotics, or mobility prototypes.
• Understanding of interdisciplinary development teams.

Why us?

• Work on pioneering autonomous vehicle technology.
• A creative, practical work environment with access to workshop and lab equipment.
• Flat hierarchies and direct collaboration with the founding team.
• Competitive salary and long-term development opportunities in an innovative startup.

About Us
With Bliq, we are building a next-gen transportation company.

We've spent the past three years building the Bliq Driver app that helps drivers control the biggest platforms in their area on a single interface, work easier, and earn more.

Since our launch, more than 100,000 have already done 50+ million trip offers.

Last year, we started "Bliq for passengers," an app that is currently already used by 450,000+ riders to find the fastest or cheapest ride wherever they need to go. Our vision is to create safer, more reliable and more affordable mobility for cities worldwide.

Having established a strong presence in 7 markets across Europe, Bliq is now expanding onto the next frontier: to launch a driverless ride-hailing service from the ground up. After years of technology development and rigourous testing, this expansion marks a significant milestone as we bring our innovative approach to urban mobility to cities worldwide. Backed by a total funding of more than $35m from notable investors such as NEA and Atlantic Labs, Bliq is poised to redefine the future of ride-hailing.

We already have colleagues from a total of 12 countries, a truly international, diverse, and open-minded team. We value teamwork, entrepreneurial spirit, and technology. We work and play equally hard. We've grown 20 times over the past 12 months while improving the lives of thousands of drivers and passengers, and we've got global expansion plans. If you've ever wanted to join a super-star team and change the world for the better, this is your chance. Apply now, let's get to know each other
