Overview
Job Description Summary
We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Project Coordinator to support and in some cases to lead the deployment of robotic systems in our manufacturing facilities, with a specific focus on digital integration aspects. This dual role is critical in enabling growth and seamless integration of robotics with our digital landscape.
Responsibilities
- Identify and implement robotization opportunities to support growth and scalability in low-volume, high-mix production environments.
- Act as the main interface between factory operations and digital technology teams (IT/OT) to ensure seamless integration of robotic systems into our digital landscape (SAP, MES, Windchill, etc.).
- Coordinate or lead the planning, execution, and delivery of robotic projects from concept to commissioning with factory teams and integrators.
- Define project scope, goals, deliverables, timelines, and budgets in alignment with stakeholders.
- Coordinate with internal teams (engineering, operations, maintenance, safety) and external vendors/integrators.
- Manage project risks, change controls, and resource constraints to ensure successful deployment.
Business Case Development
- Analyze manufacturing processes to identify automation/robotization opportunities.
- Define ROI, payback period, and performance KPIs for proposed robotic investments.
- Prepare and present detailed business cases to Business Line leadership and robotics & automation council to support capital investment decisions.
Digital System Integration (SAP, MES, Networks, Databases)
- Act as the key interface between operational teams and IT/digital stakeholders to align needs and system requirements.
- Ensure proper integration of robotic and automation systems with enterprise platforms (SAP, MES, SCADA, etc.).
- Validate data flow and system compatibility: including master data, production orders, traceability, and real-time data.
- Support network infrastructure planning, cybersecurity compliance, and digital architecture design.
Technical Support & Oversight
- Collaborate with engineering and operations teams to validate technical feasibility and integration of robotic systems.
- Oversee system acceptance testing (FAT, SAT) and post-installation performance validation.
- Collaborate with the Digital organization teams to ensure the readiness of production sites for new robotic systems (connectivity, data mapping, protocols).
Continuous Improvement & Strategy
- Support the development of roadmaps for future robotic initiatives in the factories and the scalability of some running projects.
- Contribute to the roadmap of robotic and digital initiatives at the factory and business line level.
- Help define integration standards, digital best practices, and scalable solutions.
- Support knowledge transfer and capability building across sites to strengthen the organization’s digital maturity.
Qualifications / Requirements
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Automation, Mechatronics) or a related field. A Master’s degree or MBA is a plus.
Experience
- Minimum 5–10 years of experience in robotics implementation, automation, or manufacturing project management.
- Proven track record of successfully delivering robotic/automation projects in factory environments.
- Experience with low-volume, high-mix production settings and scaling capacity through automation.
Location(s): Open on the location France - Europe – Americas
Languages: Fluent in English (written and spoken)
Your Profile
