Résumé du poste

Novartis Manufacturing NV in Puurs, Belgium is seeking a DDIT OPS Robotics Expert ITOT to own the end-to-end robotics strategy for the site. You will bridge emerging robotics technologies with site needs, guiding from market scan to shop floor with hands-on technical leadership.

This hybrid role requires 7+ years in robotics, deep knowledge of GMP and data integrity, and collaboration with global partners to define URS, standards, and vendor strategies.

Qualifications

• Minimum 7+ years of demonstrated experience in robotics, with hands-on implementation and deployment of industrial robotics solutions.
• Experience defining technical standards, User Requirement Specifications (URSs), and vendor evaluation criteria.
• Strong understanding of robotics hardware, integration and automation architectures.
• Knowledge of GMP requirements, data integrity (ALCOA+), and validation principles in regulated manufacturing.

Responsabilités

• Own the site robotics technology strategy and keep it continuously refreshed against market, vendor, and emerging-technology developments.
• Evaluate standards and strategy, harmonizing requirements across platforms and aligning global ways of working to ensure common requirements are defined, captured, and embedded consistently.
• Own the User Requirement Specifications (URSs) and the technology & robotics roadmap, aligning common versus platform-specific requirements.
• Translate scouted technology into standardized, site-ready deployment packages — delivering implementable solutions, not just recommendations.
• Own and maintain the Robotics Catalog per process step of the site processes, keeping availability, readiness, ownership, and technical details current.
• Lead technology and market scouting, with dedicated focus on advanced capability areas such as computer vision, automated inspection, and physical AI, closing current resourcing gaps in these domains.
• Evaluate vendor capability and performance, and partner with Procurement on the selection and management of standard, approved vendors.
• Maintain continuous alignment with sites ensuring evaluated technologies are actually piloted and adopted — and that site feedback shapes the next roadmap cycle.
• Report progress on a regular cadence to the Robotics Steering Committee and support sites roadmap endorsement and monthly technical syncs.
• Ensure compliance with GMP regulations and security protocols.
