Forward Deployed Engineer Robotics

Your mission

• On-site integration
  Own the full technical integration at customer sites — from mapping processes and identifying touchpoints to configuring triggers, decisions, and physical handshakes across all relevant systems and environments.
• Handoff and support
  Deliver documented, reproducible solutions with clear run-books, then provide ongoing support once the site is live and feed failure patterns back into the team's playbook.
• Contributing back
  Identify product gaps that consistently create integration work and build up the team's playbook with reusable patterns, preferred tooling choices, and lessons from the field.

Your profile

• Experience in systems integration, field engineering, or solutions engineering
  Ideally in a logistics, industrial, or robotics context
• Hands-on with at least one class of integration environment
  Enterprise systems (SAP, WMS, ERP), industrial hardware (PLCs, sensors, bus systems), or workflow automation platforms (n8n, node-red, or similar)
• Strong process thinking
  You can model a customer's operational logic, identify where it breaks, and translate it into something a robot can act on
• Clear communicator in German
  You can explain integration decisions to a facility manager and to a software engineer, and you know when each framing is needed
• Drivers License B1 or above
  You will be on the road and spend a meaningful part of your time in warehouses and distribution centres, not at a desk

About us

Mobile robotics should enhance operations, not complicate them. NODE Robotics provides the tools to make that vision a reality. With our software and hardware products, businesses can integrate and manage mobile robots with confidence, efficiency, and ease.
Designed for seamless integration and intuitive usability, our software and hardware solutions empower businesses to get the most out of mobile robots – today and in the future.
We're a mobile robotics software company based in Stuttgart, Germany. Our team brings together expertise from diverse fields, including robotics, AI, software engineering and industrial operations.
This is what drives us besides the joint vision for easy to use mobile robots:

• As a team, our goal is to constantly improve and grow. One way we achieve this is by placing a high value on feedback and knowledge sharing. We believe that through these practices, we can learn from one another and ultimately become better as a team. This belief is reflected in our use of formats such as code review sessions and development recaps, which allow us to share our insights and experiences with one another.
• We are a team of robotics enthusiasts, we strive for daily improvement in order to maintain the edge we inherited from Fraunhofer IPA, which is Europe's leading powerhouse in robotics. Our goal is to build upon our inherited legacy and push the boundaries of robotics technology even further. With our passion and dedication to this field, we believe that we can make significant advancements and contribute to the evolution of the robotics industry.
• Our goal is to revolutionize the use of mobile robots in the industry. To achieve this, we adopt a customer-centric approach that emphasizes building mutually beneficial relationships with our clients. By doing so, we are able to gain insight into their needs and preferences, which allows us to integrate their feedback directly into the development of our products. Ultimately, this approach ensures that our solutions are tailored to the specific requirements of our customers, thereby enabling us to deliver superior value and achieve long-term success.
• As a startup, we are able to capitalize on our major benefits of speed and agility. Our team embodies a culture where every single member takes full responsibility for their impact, allowing us to gain traction on a daily basis. This combination of speed, agility, and accountability is what sets us apart and allows us to thrive in the competitive startup landscape.
