About the Role at RobCo
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 optimization in real production environments.
With locations in Munich, San Francisco, and Austin, and backed by leading investors such as Lightspeed, Lingotto Innovation, and 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
We're looking for someone who has:
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 join RobCo?
Develop modular, software-defined robotics solutions with us that set new standards in automation.
Help us build robots equipped with state-of-the-art AI that perceive their environment, analyze data, and make intelligent decisions in real time.
As part of a very dynamic and fast-growing scale-up, you will 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 decisions and support your professional and personal development.
Work out across Germany in over 7,200 studios with our subsidized Wellpass membership.
Flexible working hours, a modern office, and—depending on the role—the option to work from home.
Regular team events—from relaxed beer & pizza nights on the rooftop terrace to shared experiences on ski trips or at Oktoberfest.
