Your mission

WHAT YOU WILL DO

Industrial Robotics & Automation

You will be responsible for the setup, commissioning, and operation of internal and customer automation systems. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Configuring, parameterizing, and commissioning industrial robots from different manufacturers on our shop floor and at customer sites
  • Integrating robots, PLCs, and other peripheral devices into an automation environment
  • Supporting electrical commissioning, troubleshooting, maintenance, and on-site customer deployments
  • Acting as a technical point of contact for robotics and industrial automation across our teams
  • Bringing practical experience from customer projects into technical and product related decisions

NOVA & Software Development

You will use Wandelbots NOVA to implement customer-specific robotics and automation solutions and bring an important application perspective into our product development. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Translating customer robotics requirements into NOVA-based software solutions
  • Developing project-specific applications, workflows, and functionality using Python
  • Combining and applying existing NOVA capabilities to real industrial use cases
  • Working closely with Software, Product, and Robotics Engineering on new use cases and technical challenges
  • Providing structured feedback from real-world projects and turning project learnings into reusable solutions and best practices

Your profile

  • Strong knowledge of industrial robot programming, parameterization, and commissioning
  • Practical experience with at least one major robot manufacturer such as KUKA, ABB, Yaskawa, FANUC, or Stäubli
  • Experience with industrial automation systems and customer-site commissioning
  • Basic knowledge of PLC programming and electrical commissioning
  • Good knowledge of Python
  • A basic understanding of software architecture and modern development practices
  • Ideally, a qualification as a certified electrical specialist / qualified electrician or a comparable qualification
  • A hands-on, solution-oriented mindset and openness to modern development and AI assisted tools

What else is important

  • German language skills at B2 level or above
  • English language skills at B2 level or above
  • Willingness to regularly work on-site at customer locations and support commissioning activities
  • Enjoyment of working across different teams, including Software Development, Robotics, Product, and Customer Projects

Your Profile Is Particularly Interesting to Us If …

  • You have worked with several different robot manufacturers
  • You have supported complete automation systems from planning through to commissioning
  • You are equally interested in traditional automation and software development
  • You have experience with industrial communication systems and interfaces
  • You enjoy working directly with customers, software developers, and automation specialists
  • You want to do more than just experiment with new technologies and are motivated to bring them into real production environments

Why This Role?

This role combines two areas that are increasingly converging in industrial automation: robotics and software development. You will work with real industrial robots and automation systems while also developing NOVA-based solutions for concrete customer applications. This gives you the opportunity to bring the perspective of an industrial user directly into our software and product development. In doing so, you will help us ensure that NOVA is not only technologically powerful, but also consistently aligned with the needs of real-world industrial automation projects.

Why us?

Work on a deep-tech Physical AI product that brings intelligence to the shop floor and makes industrial robotics more accessible, flexible and scalable. Become a crucial part of something new, big and exciting, and see your work make a real difference in industry and society.
