Engineering Manager (m/f/d) Robotics Tooling

Your tasks

You work in a team responsible for the entire tooling ecosystem, with which our Jungheinrich Robotics solutions are implemented, operated, supported, and continuously improved throughout their entire lifecycle. From commissioning a vehicle on-site to remotely diagnosing the problems of an entire fleet, you and your team ensure that our robotics systems can be delivered, operated, and supported efficiently and scalably across all robotics products and future vehicle generations.

You work in three central areas:

• You further develop our on-site tooling, enabling efficient implementation, commissioning, and execution of service activities via our HMI and our Environment Editor.
• You develop our remote tooling as part of our Robotics Cloud, enabling remote diagnostics, fleet management, monitoring, and support.
• You design our remote access solutions and ensure secure and scalable access to our robotics systems whenever required.

You work closely with our Product Manager for Robotics Tooling. While the Product Manager focuses more on the what and why, you complement this perspective with the how and when.

• You are responsible for the technical direction of our tooling, enabling rapid implementation, efficient service processes, fleet operation, remote diagnostics, and high system availability.
• You design a scalable tooling ecosystem that can be used across different robot families, customer installations, and support organizations.
• You lead and develop a team of internal and external software engineers, creating an environment where employees can grow, work successfully, and deliver impactful solutions.
• Together with the Product Manager, you define, manage, and track the agreed-upon roadmap and ensure its successful implementation.
• You build strong partnerships with Product Management, Vehicle Engineering, Service, Operations, and IT to realize an integrated tooling ecosystem.
• You continuously improve the user experience for commissioning and service technicians, support teams, and our customers.
• You design the strategy and implementation of secure remote access solutions, balancing operational efficiency, security requirements, and customer needs.
• You promote the development and performance of your team through engagement, coaching, individual development, and continuous improvement.
• You drive Engineering Excellence through agile working methods, high-quality software development, and modern engineering standards.

Your Profile

• You have extensive experience in leading software engineering teams in agile product development environments.
• You have a strong software engineering background and practical technical experience.
• You have experience in coaching engineers and actively support them in their professional and personal development.
• You have experience in robotics, automation, embedded systems, or comparable technical fields.
• You have experience in developing frontend applications and user-centered software.
• You communicate clearly and effectively, aligning diverse stakeholders towards common goals.
• You are passionate about solving real-world challenges with technology.
• You work primarily on-site, so you ideally live in or near Munich.
• This is a plus:
  • You have experience with Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI).
  • You are familiar with the processes involved in the implementation, service, or operation of robots.
  • You have experience with monitoring, observability, or remote diagnostics solutions.
  • You are knowledgeable about networking, infrastructure, security, or remote access concepts.
  • You have experience working closely with customers or field operations teams.
