About the Job

Requirements

  • A degree in engineering, mechatronics, robotics, industrial engineering, or a comparable qualification.
  • At least 5–8 years of experience as a Product Owner or Product Manager, ideally in robotics, automation, or complex mechatronic systems, including demonstrated experience leading hardware products through their lifecycle to series production.
  • A sound understanding of collaborative robot mechanics, kinematics, sensor systems, and industrial communication standards such as EtherCAT, Profinet, and IO-Link, sufficient to challenge specialist functions and evaluate trade-offs.
  • Understanding of product-level safety, regulatory, and certification requirements.
  • Familiarity with Scrum or SAFe, and tools such as Jira and Confluence.
  • Ability to identify decision rights in a matrix setup, manage multiple stakeholders and competing priorities through transparent prioritization and expectation management, and respect expertise and functional responsibilities while maintaining reliability.
  • Entrepreneurial ownership and the ability to prioritize, decline requests, and make decisions based on data and customer needs without reopening decisions repeatedly.
  • Ability to remain effective under pressure in a dynamic and ambiguous environment.
  • Ability to communicate from detailed engineering reviews to status and risk reports for the CEO and C-level, and to formulate requirements, specifications, and escalations precisely.
  • Fluent English; German is an advantage.

Responsibilities

  • Own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for the robotic arms throughout their lifecycle, from concept to series production, and be accountable for their business success.
  • Define, maintain, and prioritize the product backlog in close coordination with Mechanical Engineering, Electronics, and Software.
  • Make trade-off decisions based on customer value, technical feasibility, and business impact, and take responsibility for those decisions.
  • Align Hardware, Software, Sales, and Business Development, translate technical complexity into clear product direction, and achieve impact without formal authority.
  • Continuously analyze market trends, customer feedback, and competitors; derive product decisions and identify opportunities in industrial automation, collaborative robotics, and related fields.
  • Co-lead product launches, define positioning and feature sets, and advance product-level safety, regulatory, and certification requirements, such as CE and TÜV, with Engineering and Quality.
  • Document product decisions, assumptions, and trade-offs transparently for the matrix organization.
  • Report status, risks, and priorities to the CEO and C-level; communicate the product vision and story to investors, partners, and customers; represent the product at trade fairs and customer visits.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience in robotics, automation, or complex mechatronic systems is ideal.
  • German language skills are a plus.

About the Company

Neura Robotics

Cognitive robots with perception, manipulation, collaboration

Neura Robotics builds cognitive robots for industrial and service settings, combining perception, manipulation, and human collaboration. It develops both the hardware and the software stack for Physical AI, creating robot platforms like MAiRA, MAV, LARA and MiPA along with training infrastructure. The system works by integrating sensing, decision-making, and manipulation capabilities on a hardware-software stack that can be deployed in large-scale production, with the company planning robots fleets and NEURA Gyms for ongoing training and improvement. What sets Neura Robotics apart is its end-to-end approach to Physical AI, including a focus on mass production, an established global deployment plan, and a broad ecosystem of strategic backers and partners that support scaling and international expansion. The goal is to enable worldwide deployment of its robot platforms and associated training infrastructure, turning physical AI into widely available industrial and service automation.
