We believe that automating the ordinary frees humans to do the extraordinary, and we're building the end-to-end robotics infrastructure to make that possible - hardware, software, and AI in one stack that just works.\n\nAt RobCo, we automate the ordinary, so humans can do the extraordinary. To achieve this, we are looking for an ambitious Senior Solution Development Engineer to help us establish RobCo as leading provider of automation solutions.\nIn this key role, you act as the critical technical bridge turning visionary customer requirements into robust, field-ready robotic system architectures across our US deployments. You will drive simulation, prototyping, and detailed multi-disciplinary engineering design to eliminate ambiguity and risk early in the development lifecycle. By establishing data-driven design standards and seamless handoffs for execution, you directly enable the rapid scaling of our autonomous industrial solutions.\nYour Responsibilities\nTranslate customer requirements provided by Sales Engineering into technically feasible, simulation-validated solution concepts and robust system architectures.\nPerform simulation, modeling, prototyping, and engineering analysis to rigorously validate design decisions before they transition to execution.\nDevelop detailed mechanical, electrical, controls, and software designs tailored for complex robotic system solutions.\nEvaluate design alternatives and technical tradeoffs to make data-driven, scalable engineering recommendations.\nDefine clear system requirements, interfaces, assumptions, constraints, and acceptance criteria to eliminate technical ambiguity downstream.\nIdentify and mitigate technical and execution risks early in the design cycle by partnering with Solution Execution teams to incorporate manufacturing, deployment, and commissioning considerations.\nLead structured design reviews to surface potential design gaps early and ensure high standards of engineering quality.\nProduce comprehensive Solution Development Packages—including approved concepts, simulation results, risk assessments, interface definitions, and BOMs—as the baseline for execution.\nIncorporate field feedback, deployment learnings, and operational issues into future engineering standards and design iterations.\nWe're looking for someone who has:\nCompleted vocational training or a degree in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Automation, or comparable experience.\nSeveral years of experience (5+ years) in robotic system design, simulation, and multi-disciplinary solution engineering.\nProven track record in mechanical, electrical, or controls design, alongside system simulation and risk mitigation frameworks.\nStrong ability to evaluate complex technical tradeoffs and communicate risks clearly to internal and external stakeholders.\nCulture-aligned mindset (e.g., \"Strong ownership mindset\", \"Growth mindset\", \"Pragmatic working style\", and \"Structured problem-solving approach\").\nVery good English skills (German is a plus).\nWhy join RobCo?\nDevelop modular, software-defined robotics solutions with us that set new standards in automation.\nHelp us build robots equipped with state-of-the-art AI that perceive their environment, analyze data, and make intelligent decisions in real time.\nAs 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.\nFlat hierarchies, open communication, and regular 360° feedback enable fast decisions and support your professional and personal development.\nCompetitive compensation and benefits package - including medical, dental, and vision coverage, plus a 401(k) plan.\nUnlimited paid time off incl. major holidays.\nCompany-sponsored onboarding and team offsites in Germany.\nAbout RobCo\nFounded in Munich in 2020, RobCo leads the transition toward fully Autonomous Industrial Robotics. Our mission is to deploy RobCo in every factory - solving the industrial labor shortage through end-to-end robotics that just works. Powered by Physical AI, our solutions combine a scalable modular hardware architecture with intelligent software that adapts to your use case, improves over time, and requires zero upfront investment through our Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) model.\nWe solve our customers' most pressing pain points - labor shortage, cost pressure, workplace safety, and national reshoring - across the full spectrum of Autonomous Industrial Robotics. With $160M raised from investors including Lightspeed, Lingotto Innovation, and Sequoia, 200+ people globally, and 2.5M+ operating hours in the field, we are deploying robots in factories across Europe and the United States - with our US operations headquartered in Austin, TX, and our RobCo Bay Area Demo Lab in San Francisco.\nDon’t meet every single requirement? If you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.\nAt RobCo, applicants are selected regardless of ethnic origin, religion, gender, age, disability, or sexual orientation. All decisions throughout the recruitment process are based solely on applicants’ qualifications, skills, knowledge, and experience, as well as relevant business requirements.","company":"Robco","rawCompany":"robco","city":"Austin","state":"TX","isRemote":false,"isActive":false,"createdAt":"2026-07-15T09:53:26.621Z","occupations":[{"code":"17-2199.08","title":"Robotics Engineers","slug":"robotics-engineers"},{"code":"17-2199.00","title":"Engineers, All Other","slug":"engineers-all-other"},{"code":"17-2199.05","title":"Mechatronics Engineers","slug":"mechatronics-engineers"}],"industries":[{"code":"541330","title":"Engineering Services","slug":"engineering-services"},{"code":"333248","title":"All Other Industrial Machinery Manufacturing","slug":"all-other-industrial-machinery-manufacturing"},{"code":"541715","title":"Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology)","slug":"research-and-development-in-the-physical-engineering-and-life-sciences-except-nanotechnology-and-biotechnology"}],"jobPosting":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"JobPosting","title":"Senior Solutions Development Engineer","description":"About the Role at RobCo\nRobCo is building the category of Autonomous Industrial Robotics and we're doing it fast.
