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 technical university degree (e.g., Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science) or equivalent qualification with significant technical professional experience
  • 7+ years of experience leading complex technical programs, ideally in robotics, industrial automation, systems integration, industrial tech, or hardware-software environments
  • Proven track record of independently delivering large-scale automation or robotics systems from concept and design through deployment and commissioning with minimal oversight
  • Strong systems understanding of mechatronic, robotic, or cyber-physical systems, with the ability to abstract complex technical details into executive-level business impact
  • Culture-aligned mindset: Strong self-starter mentality, exceptional ownership, and a structured, data-driven yet pragmatic execution style comfortable with ambiguity
  • Very good English skills (German is a plus)
