Job summary

RobCo seeks a Senior Solution Development Engineer to bridge customer requirements with robust robotic system architectures. You will drive simulation, prototyping, and multidisciplinary engineering to de-risk early development and enable rapid growth across US deployments.

In this role, you will develop mechanical, electrical, controls, and software designs for complex robotic solutions, evaluate tradeoffs, and define interfaces and acceptance criteria.

Qualifications

• Completed vocational training or a degree in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Automation, or comparable experience.
• 5+ years of robotic system design, simulation, and multi-disciplinary solution engineering.
• Proven track record in mechanical, electrical, or controls design, with system simulation and risk mitigation frameworks.
• Strong ability to evaluate complex technical tradeoffs and communicate risks clearly to internal and external stakeholders.
• Culture-aligned mindset (e.g., Growth mindset, Pragmatic working style, Structured problem-solving approach).
• Very good English skills (German is a plus).

Responsibilities

• Translate customer requirements provided by Sales Engineering into technically feasible, simulation-validated solution concepts and robust system architectures.
• Perform simulation, modeling, prototyping, and engineering analysis to validate design decisions before execution.
• Develop detailed mechanical, electrical, controls, and software designs tailored for complex robotic system solutions.
• Evaluate design alternatives and technical tradeoffs to make data-driven, scalable engineering recommendations.
• Define clear system requirements, interfaces, assumptions, constraints, and acceptance criteria to eliminate technical ambiguity downstream.
• Identify and mitigate technical and execution risks early in the design cycle by partnering with Solution Execution teams to incorporate manufacturing, deployment, and commissioning considerations.
• Lead structured design reviews to surface potential design gaps early and ensure high standards of engineering quality.
• Produce comprehensive Solution Development Packages - including approved concepts, simulation results, risk assessments, interface definitions, and BOMs as the baseline for execution.
• Incorporate field feedback, deployment learnings, and operational issues into future engineering standards and design iterations.
