Mechatronics Engineer
Motivated to solve complex challenges and building automation systems?
Reconext is a global provider of advanced electronics lifecycle solutions, supporting some of the world’s leading technology brands.
In Tallinn, Estonia, Reconext operates its R&D hub, where a team of 38 professionals – the majority of whom are engineers – develop advanced automation and industrial solutions. The working environment is calm, technically driven and highly professional. The team delivers complex automation projects that require innovation, precision and system-level thinking.
Reconext is looking for a Mechatronics Engineer based in Tallinn (Estonia).
Position combines strong mechanical design capability with automation and system-level thinking.
This is not a purely mechanical role. The position requires understanding of mechanics, electronics, automation, and industrial system integration.
What is expected from you?
Degree in Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering with strong automation exposure, or similar
Experience with industrial machine building or automation projects
Solid CAD design skills (SolidWorks or equivalent)
Understanding of automation logic and integration principles
Experience working on project-based development
Ability to move independently from idea to documented solution
Strong advantage:
Experience with Visual Components or other 3D simulation software
Experience with vision systems and automated inspection
Background in consumer electronics manufacturing
Experience working in international industrial environments
Role overview
As a Mechatronics Engineer, you will develop automation and testing solutions from concept to validated prototype.
Each project begins with a customer requirement and no ready-made solution.
Example challenges:
Designing an automated system to test 10,000 remote controllers efficiently
Developing a machine vision-based solution for detecting surface scratches on consumer electronics
Creating a robotic system capable of detecting and removing adhesive labels from laptops before automated cleaning

You will
Develop technical concepts from scratch
Design mechanical and mechatronic systems in CAD
Select components (actuators, pneumatics, motors, sensors, vision systems)
Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to develop prototypes
Validate solutions using simulation tools (Visual Components is a strong advantage)
Prepare technical documentation (3D models, drawings, BOMs)
Support implementation and optimization phases
Assembly is handled by dedicated teams - your responsibility is engineering design, system logic and validation.
Why Reconext?
Work in a dedicated R&D hub with a strong engineering culture
Be part of a calm and highly skilled team environment
Contribute to complex, real-world automation projects
Exposure to international customers and technologies
Competitive compensation and professional development opportunities.
