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 Junior Production Engineer, you'll be right at the heart of our production floor — supporting day-to-day operations, driving continuous improvement, and helping us scale safely and efficiently as we grow.
Your Responsibilities
Provide day-to-day hands-on support in the production area, including the inspection of non-conforming (NOK) robot modules
Independently run small-to-medium continuous improvement projects focused on enhancing production safety, OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), and quality
Own, create, and maintain comprehensive work instructions for all internal assemblies, and support the creation of training documentation
Support the implementation of quality assurance processes and maintenance activities
Support the creation of FMEAs for all new robot modules and take ownership of executing the resulting risk-mitigation tasks
Support the team during production trials and cross-functional change management processes
We're looking for someone who has:
A Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a similar field
First working experience (including internships or working student positions) in a (high-volume) production environment
A strong hands-on mentality with a proactive, self-starter approach to problem-solving
Highly adaptable and willing to support a wide variety of projects as the production area scales
Nice-to-have: initial experience with ERP systems, time analysis, or Lean Manufacturing concepts
Fluent in English and German
About RobCo
Founded 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.
