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.
