About the Job

Requirements

  • At least 6 years of proven experience leading complex hardware-software programs in robotics, autonomy, automotive, or a closely related field.
  • A Bachelor's or Master's degree in engineering, computer science, or a related discipline.
  • A track record of shipping to production or fielding systems in regulated or mission-critical domains.
  • Strong command of program controls, including risk management, change management, supplier management, and quality gates.
  • Technical depth to engage credibly with senior autonomy, perception, embedded, and hardware engineers.
  • Understanding of regulatory and export control requirements, with the discipline to escalate those topics to the appropriate specialist teams.

Responsibilities

  • Own programs that turn advanced perception, autonomy, and ruggedized hardware into mission-ready ground robotic systems for military and security forces across Europe.
  • Guide each program from initial concept through integration, field testing, production, and sustainment; be accountable for schedule, budget, scope, and risk.
  • Create executable roadmaps for programs, with gated milestones from ideation to sustainment.
  • Develop and maintain integrated master schedules, budgets, and critical paths to support team decision-making.
  • Align autonomy software, embedded systems, perception, mechatronics, hardware, and manufacturing teams, including external suppliers.
  • Connect mission requirements to verified and accepted capability, tracking verification, validation, and acceptance.
  • Establish program governance through risk reviews, change control, and concise, action-oriented executive readouts.
  • Maintain a risk register covering technical, schedule, supply chain, and field risks, including mitigations and clear triggers.
  • Develop lab, range, and customer-site test plans that turn results into decisions and next steps.
  • Move systems from prototype to production and support their reliability in service.

Desired Qualifications

  • Clear, concise communication with engineers and executives.
  • Judgment to set clear priorities and bring structure to ambiguous situations.

About the Company

ARX Robotics

Autonomous modular UGS with AI software

ARX Robotics develops autonomous unmanned ground systems and software to modernize defense fleets. Its GEREON tracked and HECTOR wheeled platforms run Mithra OS, an open-architecture AI software that can network ARX hardware and retrofit legacy NATO vehicles to operate autonomously. This software-first approach enables turning existing vehicles into AI-enabled assets for missions such as reconnaissance, MedEvac, transport, and live-fire training, across multiple terrains. The company differentiates by a European supply chain and the ability to scale hardware-plus-software across European militaries, with deployments to six European forces and contracts with European defense agencies, and aims to scale production fivefold and expand in Europe while maintaining sovereignty.
