Product Manager – Robotics & AI (m/f/d)

Your Mission

RobCo is spearheading a revolution in robotics, empowering businesses to thrive by supercharging productivity and freeing them from labor shortages. Our modular, high-performance robotic solutions enable manufacturers to automate faster, more flexibly, and more cost-effectively than ever before. With over €50 million in funding from top-tier VCs like Sequoia Capital and Lightspeed, we are building the category-leading robotics company in Europe and the US.

Your Mission

As a Product Manager for Robotics & AI, you will define and drive the evolution of RobCo’s modular robotic ecosystem — from the intelligence layer to the physical platform. Your goal: make automation radically easier through smart software, intuitive interfaces, AI-driven insights, and powerful, reliable hardware modules.

You’ll own the product requirements and roadmap for our software and hardware stack — spanning configuration tools, deployment workflows, control interfaces, intelligent motion systems, and modular robot components. Working closely with our Director of Product Development, Robot Engineering, and AI/Software teams, you’ll ensure that RobCo’s technology delivers both technical excellence and tangible customer value.

This role is perfect for a technically minded product leader who combines a software-first mindset with a solid grasp of robotics hardware, and who can translate complex technical possibilities into elegant, market-ready products.

Your Responsibilities

• Define the product vision – Shape the roadmap for RobCo’s software, AI, and hardware capabilities to enable smart, modular automation.

• Bridge digital and physical – Drive seamless integration between software intelligence and mechanical systems to ensure a cohesive, high-performance user experience.

• Gather and translate requirements – Collaborate with customers, internal stakeholders, and engineering teams to define detailed product specifications for both hardware and software.

• Guide hardware development – Support concept validation, component selection, and prototype reviews for new modules and mechanical sub-systems.

• Bridge AI and robotics – Translate the potential of AI into tangible product features, from perception to motion optimization and predictive maintenance.

• Validate and iterate – Test early concepts and prototypes, analyze user data, and drive continuous improvement across both hardware and software products.

• Drive simplicity – Make complex robotic systems intuitive and accessible for users across industries.

Your Profile

• 3–5+ years of experience in product management for robotics, automation, or mechatronic systems, ideally with exposure to both software and hardware development.

• Strong understanding of software architectures, APIs, cloud systems, and AI-based products.

• Hands-on familiarity with hardware development processes, including mechanical design, component testing, and manufacturing readiness.

• Comfortable discussing robot kinematics, sensors, drive systems, and control architectures at a technical level.

• Proven ability to write crisp, technically sound product requirements and manage complex cross-functional development projects.

• Experience working in agile environments and balancing long-term product vision with rapid iteration.

• Analytical and strategic thinker with a strong sense for user value and product scalability.

• Excellent communication skills across engineering, product, and commercial teams.

• Professional fluency in English (German is a plus).

Why us?

• Shape the intelligence and physical backbone of the next generation of modular industrial robots.

• Build products that merge AI, software, and robotics hardware into a single, scalable automation platform.

• Collaborate with world-class engineers and product leaders in a fast-growing robotics company.

• Choose your work style: on-site in Munich.

• Flexible working hours, Wellpass gym membership, and regular team events.
