Robotics Project Manager Role
We are seeking a highly experienced project coordinator to support and lead the deployment of robotic systems in our manufacturing facilities. This role is critical in identifying and implementing robotization opportunities to support growth and scalability in low-volume, high-mix production environments.
This role requires strong operational knowledge combined with advanced understanding of digital systems to ensure both physical deployment and data/system integration are delivered successfully and sustainably.
Key Responsibilities:
* Coordinate or lead the planning, execution, and delivery of robotic projects from concept to commissioning with factory teams & integrators.
* Define project scope, goals, deliverables, timelines, and budgets in alignment with stakeholders.
* Manage project risks, change controls, and resource constraints to ensure successful deployment.
Business Case Development:
* Analyze manufacturing processes to identify automation/robotization opportunities.
* Define ROI, payback period, and performance KPIs for proposed robotic investments.
* Prepare and present detailed business cases to leadership and robotics & automation council to support capital investment decisions.
Digital System Integration:
* Act as the key interface between operational teams and IT/digital stakeholders to align needs and system requirements.
* Ensure proper integration of robotic and automation systems with enterprise platforms.
* Validate data flow and system compatibility: including master data, production orders, traceability, and real-time data.
Qualifications:
Education: Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Automation, Mechatronics) or a related field. A Master's degree or MBA is a plus.
Experience
* Minimum 5–10 years of experience in robotics implementation, automation, or manufacturing project management.
* Proven track record of successfully delivering robotic/automation projects in factory environments.
Requirements: Strong understanding of robotic systems, manufacturing systems, lean principles, and digital transformation tools. Leadership, communication, and stakeholder management abilities. Capable of influencing and driving change. Autonomous and results-oriented.
