Senior Solutions Development Engineer
Job description
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.

Job 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 rigorously validate design decisions before they transition to 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.
Job requirements
- Completed vocational training or a degree in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Automation, or comparable experience.
- Several years of experience (5+ years) in robotic system design, simulation, and multi-disciplinary solution engineering.
- Proven track record in mechanical, electrical, or controls design, alongside 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., "Strong ownership mindset", "Growth mindset", "Pragmatic working style", and "Structured problem-solving approach").
- Very good English skills (German is a plus).
- Develop modular, software-defined robotics solutions with us that set new standards in automation.
- Help us build robots equipped with state-of-the-art AI that perceive their environment, analyze data, and make intelligent decisions in real time.
