About the role

RobCo is building the category of Autonomous Industrial Robotics and we're doing it fast. We believe that automating the ordinary frees humans to do the extraordinary, and we're building the end-to-end robotics infrastructure to make that possible - hardware, software, and AI in one stack that just works.

What they're looking for

  • Completed vocational training or a degree in Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Automation, Computer Science, Robotics, or comparable practical experience
  • Several years of experience in field service engineering, technical support, or solutions engineering within robotics or industrial automation
  • Solid technical foundation including basic object-oriented programming, ability to read/work with Python code, and strong knowledge of electrics and safety standards
  • Familiarity with machine communication protocols (IO, Modbus TCP, Profinet, Profibus, IO-Link) and prior exposure to PLCs
  • A universal, fast-learning, and hands-on mindset—someone who thrives when getting directly onto the shop floor to fix and optimize systems rather than managing a traditional ticket queue
  • Culture-aligned mindset with strong ownership, high self-organization, and a pragmatic, structured working style suited for being the first person in the role
