Group Lead System Development - Human

At the heart of product innovation and development, our Systems Engineering Department transforms market demands into safe, certifiable, and competitive solutions and architectures. By collaborating closely with software, hardware, safety, and certification teams, we ensure every product meets the highest standards while adapting to fast-evolving market needs. Our mission is to enable seamless human-robot collaboration and deliver solutions that are safe, compliant, and ready for the future. Join us to shape the next generation of human-robot systems by owning system-level requirements, integration, and alignment, with architectural responsibilities as needed. If you thrive in cross-functional teamwork and technical excellence, you’ll find extraordinary opportunities with us.

Your Mission and Challenges

• Lead the Visionaries: Manage and mentor a multidisciplinary team of System Architects and Engineers to foster technical excellence and innovation across several product lines.

• Integrated Flow: Partner with Safety and Cybersecurity managers to create a fast, seamless, integrated "System-Safety-Security" engineering flow that enables certification without slowing development.

• Agility at Scale: Drive the system engineering lifecycle, ensuring we maintain startup agility and innovation velocity without compromising quality or regulatory compliance (IEC 62443, UNECE R155, ISO 13849).

• Standardization: Own the engineering toolstack and standardize workflows and processes to ensure consistency, traceability, and reusability across all product lines.

• Organizational Impact: Represent Systems Engineering leadership across the company, aligning technical strategy with product goals and executive priorities while fostering effective stakeholder communication.

• Design Authority: Lead technical reviews and make design-authority decisions on system architecture, interface contracts, and safety boundaries across functional domains.

What We Can Look Forward To

• Experience: 5+ years in Systems Engineering (Safety-related products and autonomous systems), with at least 2 years in a leadership or management role.

• Deep Tech Background: MSc/PhD in Robotics, Systems Engineering, or Computer Science with a proven track record in Systems development across multiple platforms.

• Cross-Domain Mastery: Expert knowledge in requirements engineering, system architecture definition, and the dependencies between hardware, software, integration, verification, validation, and certification.

• Startup DNA: Proven ability to introduce tailored, efficient processes in a fast-paced, high-growth environment without sacrificing technical rigor or compliance discipline.

• Leadership Style: You balance deep technical involvement with the ability to empower autonomous, accountable teams; you are collaborative, not competitive, and take ownership of cross-team problems.

• Tooling Vision: Proficient with architecture and requirement tools and flows (e.g. SysML, Polarion, or DOORS); familiar with ROS/ROS2 and robotics systems; experienced in establishing and optimizing engineering workflows and toolstacks.
