• Proactive talent pipelines for our most critical and hard-to-fill technical roles through advanced sourcing, market mapping, and strategic outreach.
• Build a powerful employer brand narrative that resonates deeply with top engineering talent and positions ARX Robotics as a leader in the deep-tech community.
• An end-to-end hiring journey for senior technical roles, where you own every step from initial outreach to final offer with precision and care.
• A data-driven technical recruitment culture, using metrics to guide hiring decisions, challenge assumptions, and continuously elevate our talent bar.
• Scalable hiring strategies that anticipate our future technical needs, ensuring we have the right skills in place for the next generation of our products.
• An inclusive, agile, and compliant hiring process that guarantees an exceptional experience for every engineering candidate.

What You Bring

• Proven track record of over 5 years in full-cycle talent acquisition, with a strong focus on recruiting both software and hardware engineers.
• Prior experience in a fast-growing deep-tech or technology scale-up is a significant plus.
• Expertise in advanced sourcing, market mapping, and building strong talent pipelines for highly specialized and senior technical roles.
• Data-first mindset, with the ability to use metrics to inform your strategy, influence senior engineering leaders, and drive results.
• Genuine passion for creating an outstanding candidate experience and a drive for continuous innovation in technical recruitment.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the credibility and confidence to act as a trusted advisor to tech leadership.
• The ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-velocity environment, adapting quickly to evolving technical priorities.
• Professional fluency in English is required; German language skills are an advantage.
