Your profile

Qualifications

Your Profile

• 10+ Years in Industrial Automation / Robotics: Deep knowledge of the EMEA manufacturing landscape. Experience with cobots (UR, Fanuc, ABB), motion control, and PLC/Logic programming is non-negotiable.
• Technical Leadership in a Fast-Growth Environment: Proven track record of scaling engineering teams in a high-growth tech or industrial company.
• The "Hybrid" Skillset: Evidence of managing both Technical Sales (Pre-sales) and Post-Sales (Field Engineering/Support). You must understand how to balance "selling the dream" with "delivering the reality."
• Project Lifecycle Management: Experience overseeing "turnkey" projects—from initial napkin sketch to Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) and on-site commissioning.
• Language Skills: English is essential; fluency in German or French is a massive advantage for the EMEA market.
• Other soft skills like commercial acumen, cross-functional navigation, client empathy and leadership skills are more than welcome.
