Junior Production Engineer

Join us

Why join RobCo? At RobCo, we radically rethink how products are made. Manufacturing today is still largely defined by manual, repetitive work. We are here to change that.

Our modular, software defined robotic solutions bring automation to industrial companies, from mid-sized champions to global enterprises. By making adaptable automation accessible, we are driving efficiency, resilience and long-term competitiveness where it matters most. We are building Physical AI for the real world. Technology that transforms entire industries through autonomy, modularity and deep software integration. But it is the people who make all of this possible.

We are looking for curious minds, driven builders and bold thinkers who want to challenge how things have always been done. If that's you, join us and help us; “Automate the ordinary,so humans can do the extraordinary.”

Life at RobCo

Open Positions

Our Founding Story

RobCo was born from curiosity, ingenuity, and a simple but bold idea: robotics should be accessible to every industrial company. In 2020, Roman Hölzl, Paul Maroldt and Constantin Dresel came together at the Chair of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) with a shared vision. They wanted to rethink how automation is built and deployed on the factory floor.‍Frustrated by the rigidity, complexity and high costs of traditional robotic systems, they set out to create something fundamentally different. Autonomous industrial robotics centered on software and AI that makes automation adaptive, scalable and easy to implement without specialist expertise. From this idea, RobCo emerged as a company focused on helping manufacturers increase productivity, tackle labor shortages and bring Physical AI into real industrial environments.

Today, we build our technology in Germany and the United States, with engineering teams in Munich, San Francisco and Austin. Our systems are deployed across Europe and the US. They combine modular hardware, no-code automation tools and AI-powered capabilities to deliver robotics that just works—robust, flexible and scalable for real production environments.

Our mission is to build Physical AI for real factories, turning rigid industrial processes into systems that learn, adapt and scale at RobCo, you are not just joining a company. You are joining a movement to automate the ordinary, so humans can do the extraordinary.

Junior Production Engineer

Location: Munich

Employment Type: Full time

Location Type: On-site

Department: Solutions, Production & Supply Chain

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. Powered by Physical AI, our solutions combine a scalable modular hardware architecture with intelligent software that adapts to your use case, improves over time, and requires zero upfront investment through our Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) model.

We solve our customers' most pressing pain points - labor shortage, cost pressure, workplace safety, and national reshoring - across the full spectrum of Autonomous Industrial Robotics. With $160M raised from investors including Lightspeed, Lingotto Innovation, and Sequoia, 200+ people globally, and 2.5M+ operating hours in the field, we are deploying robots in factories across Europe and the United States - with our US operations headquartered in Austin, TX, and our RobCo Bay Area Demo Lab in San Francisco.
