(Senior) Concept Engineer – Pre-Sales Robotics Solutions (m/w/d)

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) Concept Engineer (m/f/d) with the following mission:

You’ll sit right at the intersection of customer needs and cutting-edge robotics technology. In our Pre-Sales Organization, you will transform customer challenges into tailored automation concepts — combining creativity, technical expertise, and a consultative approach.

What makes this role unique: You won’t be working for just any system integrator. At RobCo, you are part of a highly innovative robotics manufacturer that designs, develops, and builds its own modular industrial robots from the ground up. That means you have direct access to the people, technology, and know-how behind the product — enabling you to create solutions without the limitations of off-the-shelf systems.

Working side-by-side with Account Executives, you’ll design proof-of-value solutions that clearly demonstrate how RobCo can solve complex manufacturing problems. You’ll have full creative bandwidth to think outside the box, run feasibility studies, and design concepts that showcase the power and flexibility of modular robotics.

You can work on-site with our Concept Engineering team in Munich or full-time remotely from anywhere in Germany (if you live significantly farther from Munich).

Your main responsibilities will include:

• Consult & create – Partner with customers and sales colleagues to understand requirements and develop tailored and feasible automation concepts.
• Design solutions – Translate customer needs into technically sound, cost-effective robotic automation designs.
• Demonstrate value – Prepare and deliver compelling demos, simulations, and proof-of-value concepts.
• Bridge worlds – Act as the technical voice in sales conversations, making complex topics simple and tangible.
• Collaborate & coordinate – Work closely with internal stakeholders (engineering, product, solutions, operations) to align on deliverables and timelines.
• Gather insights – Capture customer feedback and feed it directly into product development for continuous improvement.

Your Profile

We’re looking for curious, solution-oriented professionals who thrive on variety and customer interaction. Ideally, you bring:

• Several years’ experience in technical pre-sales, automation design, or mechanical engineering — preferably in robotics, automation, or precision engineering.
• Hands-on experience with industrial robots and common automation components such as pneumatic cylinders, conveyors, vision/camera systems, grippers, or linear axes.
• Strong CAD and/or simulation skills (e.g., Autodesk Fusion, SolidWorks).
• The ability to think creatively and translate customer needs into practical, scalable solutions.
• Excellent presentation and storytelling skills for both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Comfort working directly with customers, including on-site visits (travel approx. 20–30%).
• Professional fluency in English or German (additional languages are a plus).

If you meet most of the requirements but not all — apply anyway. We value potential, creativity, and drive as much as exact matches.

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.
