Company DescriptionMerista is a Barcelona-based robotics company founded by the team behind REMY Robotics, which was acquired in 2025. They are building operated robots designed to automate manual tasks on chilled food production lines, leveraging years of experience from operating 10 robot-run kitchens and 15,000 hours of live service.
Job DescriptionAs the founding mechatronics hire, you will own the physical machine end-to-end. You will design and build hardware capable of operating in high-cadence, chilled food environments, from end-effectors for fragile ingredients to hygienic enclosures for GPU compute. This is a rare opportunity to lead hardware development for a proven founding team.
LocationBarcelona, Spain
Why this role is remarkable
- Lead hardware from concept to production floor as the first mechatronics hire,



reporting directly to the CTO and owning the physical machine end-to-end.
- Work with a high-pedigree founding team that successfully scaled and exited REMY Robotics after 15,000+ hours of live service across five cities.
- Tackle unique engineering challenges involving high-speed food handling, fenceless collaborative operation, and daily washdown requirements in 2-4°C chilled environments.

What You Will Do
- Design custom end-tools and utensils for handling deformable, fragile, and irregular food ingredients at a target 3g accuracy within 3-6 second cycles.
- Engineer sealed enclosures for local GPU compute and complex sensor integration capable of withstanding daily high-pressure cleaning and continuous cold operation.
- Manage the complete hardware lifecycle, including component selection, BOM cost roll-ups, and building repeatable assembly processes for a small fleet.

The ideal candidate
