ABOUT US Sereact is a rapidly growing embodied AI company revolutionizing industrial intelligence. We develop advanced robotics and artificial intelligence solutions that enable robotic systems to sense, reason, and act in real-world warehouse and factory environments — helping businesses streamline operations, increase productivity, and transform physical work. ROLE OVERVIEW As a Robotics Deployment Engineer, you will lead the installation and deployment of our AI-powered robotic systems at customer sites across Europe. This is a dynamic, hands-on engineering role that combines technical leadership with practical implementation to ensure successful system integration in high-automation production environments. You will plan and coordinate deployments, collaborate closely with internal engineering teams, project managers and customer stakeholders, and take end-to-end responsibility for the complete installation, integration, and commissioning process onsite. This is a hands on role where you will contribute directly to mechanical and electrical work to support live systems, helping install new systems, and troubleshoot robotic systems during on-site deployments. Your Responsibilities: DEPLOYMENT LEADERSHIP * Lead the installation and commissioning of robotic systems at customer facilities. * Coordinate deployments with internal engineering teams, contractors, and customer personnel. * Plan installation workflows and ensure deployments are executed safely and efficiently. * Serve as the primary technical contact during on-site deployments. * Ensure systems meet operational, performance, and safety requirements prior to production handoff. SYSTEM INSTALLATION & INTEGRATION * Install and integrate robotic arms, grippers, sensors, cameras, and mobile platforms. * Contribute directly to mechanical and electrical installation of robotic systems. * Mount and replace end-effectors such as grippers and tooling. * Route and secure electrical and communication cables within robotic cells and control cabinets. * Assist with installation, wiring, and modification of control cabinets and electrical components. * Drill, tap, mount, and modify brackets, fixtures, and mounting hardware as required for system integration. * Conduct on-site system testing and validation. Troubleshooting & Optimization * Diagnose and resolve mechanical, electrical, and software issues during deployment. * Replace or repair hardware components such as grippers, sensors, actuators, and cabling. * Optimize system performance for efficiency, speed, and accuracy in production environments. * Provide technical training and support to customer teams. * Document installation procedures, configurations, and lessons learned from deployments. * Collaborate with internal engineering teams to improve system robustness and deployment processes. * Support customer sites across Europe remotely when not actively on deployment. Travel Willingness and ability to travel extensively across Europe (approximately 75%) is required for this role. Qualifications: Education and Experience * 3+ years of experience deploying robotic systems, automation equipment, or industrial machinery. * Experience leading or coordinating technical installations or field deployments. * Hands-on experience with robotic workcells, automation systems, or industrial equipment. Skills * Knowledge of ROS 2, robotic system architecture, or industrial automation systems. * Proficiency in Python, C++, or similar programming languages. * Experience with containerization tools such as Docker is a plus. * Strong troubleshooting skills across mechanical, electrical, and software systems. * Comfortable working with hand tools, power tools, and mechanical equipment. * Experience installing sensors, routing cables, and integrating hardware in industrial environments. * Ability to read mechanical drawings, wiring diagrams, and system layouts. * Strong written and verbal communication skills. * Familiarity with 6-axis robots, AMRs, or other robotic platforms is a plus.
