Jobbeschreibung

About the Role at RobCo RobCo is building the category of Autonomous Industrial Robotics and we're doing it fast. 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. As our Robotics Quality & Reliability Engineering Lead (m/f/d), you act as the strategic driver and operational backbone of RobCo's quality, reliability, and testing ecosystems. You bridge R&D and manufacturing to architect company-wide QA frameworks, enforce rigorous quality gates, and lead a high-performing team of engineers in elevating our physical and software products. By blending strategic vision with hands-on technical problem-solving, you ensure our field-ready autonomous robotics perform flawlessly in complex industrial environments.

Your Responsibilities

• Define Quality & Reliability Strategy: Architect end-to-end QA frameworks, test strategies, and reliability targets across engineering design, product development, and production.
• Establish Gatekeeping Criteria: Define and enforce strict gate-review criteria across Design, New Product Introduction (NPI), and Production phases to guarantee compliance with performance and safety standards.
• Bridge R&D and Manufacturing: Work closely with Engineering and Operations to integrate quality standards throughout product life cycles and End-of-Line (EOL) testing.
• Lead & Empower the Team: Mentor and grow the team of quality and test engineers, and build a strong culture of quality excellence across multidisciplinary teams.
• Enable teams to fully own quality and reliability in their areas of focus via transparent, metrics-based accountability frameworks and dashboards.
• Advance Test Infrastructure: Drive the evolution of testing capabilities by advancing the adoption of Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) simulation environments.
• Establish the Tracking of Quality Metrics: Develop quality metrics and their tracking across Product Development, Production, and Field Performance Analysis (e.g., MTBF, production yield rate). Validate design expectations against field performance.
• Drive Hands-On Validation: Step into execution during critical product launches to conduct high-impact testing, audit test setups, and validate key edge cases.

We're looking for someone who has:

• Completed vocational training or a degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Science, or comparable experience.
• 6+ years of experience in quality engineering, test engineering, or systems reliability within robotics, industrial automation, autonomous systems, or complex mechatronics.
• Proven track record of building quality strategies, establishing quality gates, and leading or mentoring technical teams.
• Technical understanding of at least some of the following: hardware failure modes (thermal, mechanical, electrical/EMC), software quality principles, and automated test frameworks/scripting (e.g., Python, C++, PyTest).
• Familiarity with HIL/SIL testing concepts, functional safety standards (e.g., ISO 10218, ISO 13849), or leveraging AI/LLMs in test automation is a plus.
• Culture-aligned mindset: strong ownership mindset, growth-oriented, and a proactive, pragmatic leadership style.
• Very good English skills (German is a plus).
