About
the Role at RobCo At RobCo, we develop AI-powered robotic systems that make industrial processes more autonomous, efficient, and scalable. Our Autonomous Manufacturing Platform combines modular industrial hardware with physical AI, enabling rapid deployment and continuous optimization in real production environments. With locations in Munich, San Francisco, and Austin, and backed by leading investors such as Lightspeed, Lingotto Innovation, and Sequoia, we are working to redefine industrial automation. At RobCo, we automate the ordinary, so humans can do the extraordinary. To achieve this, we are looking for an ambitious IT Systems, Security & Automation Architect (m/f/d) to help us establish RobCo as leading provider of automation solutions. As an IT Systems, Security & Automation Specialist, you will be part of the Office Management team while simultaneously serving as the nucleus for a future Center of Excellence focused on internal tooling, system landscapes, IT architecture, and intelligent automation. We are looking for a highly execution-oriented, hands-on individual who takes operational ownership and is driven to independently build, evolve, and scale structures, systems, and strategies. You will ensure that our current IT environment runs reliably, securely, and efficiently—while at the same time designing and developing the architecture of tomorrow: scalable, cloud-native, automated, and increasingly AI-powered.
