Your Role

Freshly cooked food. Everywhere. All the time.

With our robots, we're transforming the way the world cooks and enjoys food. Through technology that supports the foodservice industry, reduces food waste, and elevates culinary quality to a new, scalable level. Accessible to everyone. Everywhere. Anytime. We give our all to make this happen – across every level, team and function.

As Head of Engineering, you build the bridge between groundbreaking innovation and efficient series production. You turn prototypes into robust, scalable products — with clear processes, resilient architectures, and clean handovers to the line. Working closely with our CTO (Innovation), CPO (Product), and Head of Industrialization, you translate requirements into actionable engineering, prioritize for impact and stability, and establish standards that balance quality, cost, and time-to-market. This ensures our robots perform reliably where it matters most: in production, in the field, and for our customers.

These are the tasks you will be responsible for:
  • Translate innovations into series-ready solutions: scalable systems engineering across mechanics, electronics, software, and sensing — with a focus on quality, cost, and reliability
  • Define and develop functional requirements as the foundation for an integrated engineering backlog; establish clear handover processes (e.g., DFM/DFA, FMEA, Change Control) across Innovation, Product, and Industrialization
  • Plan and steer maturity levels and milestones (Concept → Prototype → EVT/DVT/PVT → Ramp-up), including risk, test, and release management through to stable series production
  • Deliver production-ready design artefacts: CAD models, drawings, and interface specifications incl. tolerances and quality criteria to enable Manufacturing (work instructions, industrial timings, EoL/verification)
  • Ensure rigorous design documentation, version and configuration management, and clear change control across the lifecycle
  • Drive data-informed optimization across the product lifecycle (BoM, yield, cycle times, field performance) in close collaboration with Industrialization, Quality, Supply Chain, and Service/Remote Ops
  • Lead and develop an interdisciplinary engineering team and manage external partners — with clear standards, a culture of ownership, and fast iteration cycles


Your profile

You're passionate about innovative technologies, excited about the role, and ready to help us revolutionize the worlds of tech and culinary even further? Let's get cooking

These are the qualities helping you thrive in this role:
  • Degree in a relevant technical field (e.g., Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Systems Engineering) or equivalent qualification
  • 10+ years in senior engineering roles at the intersection of development and industrialization — ideally in mechatronic product systems or robotics
  • Proven track record in transferring prototypes to series production (EVT/DVT/PVT, ramp-up), including maturity, risk, and release management
  • Strong systems engineering understanding across mechanics, electronics, embedded/software, and sensing; confident in architecture and interface decisions
  • Hands-on experience with DFM/DFA, FMEA, change and configuration management, plus defining quality specifications and building test/verification strategies (incl. traceability and EoL criteria)
  • Experience in building and leading interdisciplinary teams, as well as managing external development partners and suppliers
  • Data-driven way of working: using test, production, and field data for requirement verification, root-cause analysis, and continuous improvement
  • Clear, structured communication and strong stakeholder management — from CTO/CPO and Industrialization to Supply, Quality, and Service
  • Fluent English (min. C1); German is a plus


What we offer you
  • The opportunity to build a scalable, innovative product with real-world impact
  • Lots of creative freedom and ownership in a committed, cross-functional team
  • Close collaboration with C-Level management
  • Flexible work setup, modern structures, and an ambitious environment
