Careers at RobCo

Join us to automate the ordinary so humans can do the extraordinary.

Join us

Why join us?

At RobCo, we radically rethink how products are made. Manufacturing today is still largely defined by manual, repetitive work. We are here to change that.

Our modular, software defined robotic solutions bring automation to industrial companies, from mid sized champions to global enterprises. By making adaptable automation accessible, we are driving efficiency, resilience and long term competitiveness where it matters most.

We are building Physical AI for the real world. Technology that transforms entire industries through autonomy, modularity and deep software integration. But it is the people who make all of this possible. We are looking for curious minds, driven builders and bold thinkers who want to challenge how things have always been done.

If that's you, join us and help us;

“Automate the ordinary,
so humans can do the extraordinary.”

Our Founding Story

RobCo was born from curiosity, ingenuity, and a simple but bold idea: robotics should be accessible to every industrial company. In 2020, Roman Hölzl, Paul Maroldt and Constantin Dresel came together at the Chair of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) with a shared vision. They wanted to rethink how automation is built and deployed on the factory floor.
‍
Frustrated by the rigidity, complexity and high costs of traditional robotic systems, they set out to create something fundamentally different. Autonomous industrial robotics centered on software and AI that makes automation adaptive, scalable and easy to implement without specialist expertise. From this idea, RobCo emerged as a company focused on helping manufacturers increase productivity, tackle labor shortages and bring Physical AI into real industrial environments.
‍
Today, we build our technology in Germany and the United States, with engineering teams in Munich, San Francisco and Austin. Our systems are deployed across Europe and the US. They combine modular hardware, no-code automation tools and AI-powered capabilities to deliver robotics that just works—robust, flexible and scalable for real production environments.
‍
Our mission is to build Physical AI for real factories, turning rigid industrial processes into systems that learn, adapt and scale.At RobCo, you are not just joining a company. You are joining a movement to automate the ordinary, so humans can do the extraordinary.
