Your Mission

At RobCo, we develop AI-powered robotic systems that make industrial processes more autonomous, efficient, and scalable. Our Autonomous Manufacturing Platform combines modular industrial hardware with physical AI, enabling rapid deployment and continuous optimisation in real-world production environments.

With offices in Munich, San Francisco and Austin, and the support of leading investors such as Lightspeed, Lingotto Innovation und Sequoia, we are working to redefine industrial automation.

To further expand our team, we are looking for you as (Senior) Field Deployment Manager (m/f/d) with the following mission:

You will play a pivotal role in scaling and professionalizing our customer delivery operation. Your team delivers and supports some of the most advanced modular robotics solutions. Your mission: build and maintain a high-performing, reliable, and motivated field organization that sets the industry benchmark for quality, customer orientation, and operational excellence.

You will lead, coach, and develop a diverse team of engineers and technicians, from recent graduates to seasoned experts, ensuring they consistently deliver value to our customers and embody the best of RobCo's culture. You'll bring structure where it's missing, raise the bar on process and communication, and create the conditions for the team to grow.

You will be the first line leader, operational problem-solver, and force multiplier in our fast-growing organization, trusted by both your team and company leadership.

Your Responsibilities

Team Leadership & Development

• Directly lead, coach, and develop a team of Field Solutions Engineers and Technicians responsible for the deployment and integration of RobCo's robotic automation systems.

• Foster a culture of accountability, openness, and high performance; set clear expectations, provide regular feedback, and support individual growth.

• Identify and mentor future team leads as the organization scales.

Operational Excellence

• Ensure your team delivers consistent, high-quality customer outcomes: on time, every time.

• Team resource planning, project assignments, and deployment scheduling in collaboration with Technical Program Managers.

• Drive continuous improvement in all aspects of field execution: safety, process, documentation, and customer communication.

• Proactively identify and resolve bottlenecks, recurring field issues, or skills gaps.

Customer Focus

• Act as an escalation point for deployment issues and complex customer situations, balancing commercial, technical, and relationship needs.

• Ensure the field team communicates effectively with customers, translating technical complexity into practical action and building trust.

• Champion a customer-first mindset while holding the team to robust technical and process standards.

Collaboration & Process Building

• Work closely with Product Engineering, Customer Value Engineering and Sales to close feedback loops between the field and the rest of RobCo.

• Standardize and continuously improve team routines: onboarding, training, documentation, and field support tools.

• Contribute to the development and refinement of processes and best practices as we scale across new regions and products.

Your Profile

• Demonstrated leadership experience in a technical, customer-facing environment (e.g., machinery, automation, industrial engineering, or similar).

• Proven ability to develop and lead diverse teams, including engineers and technicians, ideally in a fast-pace scale-up or transformation context.

• Strong operational and problem-solving mindset: you see around corners, act proactively, and thrive in high-change environments.

• Ability to structure, document, and drive repeatable processes without sacrificing flexibility or customer focus.

• Exceptional communication skills (in English, German is a plus): you coach technical staff to be clear, pragmatic, and customer-oriented.

• Relentless about safety, quality, and professionalism.

• Willingness to travel as needed to support customers and team members on site.

Why us?

• Develop modular, software-defined robotics solutions with us that set new standards in automation.

• Help build robots powered by cutting-edge AI that perceive their environment, analyze data, and make intelligent decisions in real time.

• As part of a highly dynamic and fast-growing scale-up, you'll take on responsibility from day one, drive your own projects, and see the direct impact of your work.

• Flat hierarchies, open communication, and regular 360° feedback enable fast decision-making and support both your professional and personal development.

• Your benefits at a glance:

• Stay active with our subsidized Wellpass membership, giving you access to over 7,200 gyms and studios across Germany.

• Flexible working hours, a modern office, and—depending on the role—the option to work from home.

• Regular team events, ranging from relaxed beer & pizza nights on our rooftop terrace to shared experiences like ski trips or the Oktoberfest.
