Join us in solving one of industrial robotics' toughest challenges
R3 Robotics is developing the AI-powered dismantling platform that transforms end-of-life electric vehicle systems into strategic sources of critical materials. As global electrification accelerates, the surge in batteries and e-motors requires automated solutions that manual disassembly cannot provide. We are addressing this industrial bottleneck by enabling the automated dismantling of complex systems at scale through computer vision, artificial intelligence, and specialized robotic tooling.
Following a successful €20M Series A funding round led by HG Ventures and Suma Capital, we are expanding across Europe and preparing for our entry into the United States market in 2026. We partner with major industrial recyclers and automotive OEMs to deliver measurable impact. If you seek to work on advanced robotics within a well-funded organization scaling internationally, this is your opportunity.
Your Role
We are looking for a Forward Deployed Robotics Engineer who thrives at the intersection of robotics development and real-world deployment. You will be the on-site extension of our robotics and integration teams, responsible for installing, commissioning, tuning, and validating our robotic disassembly systems at customer sites. You will ensure the successful transition from lab innovation to robust, scalable field performance.
This is a hands-on role that combines robotics expertise, system integration, and field engineering. You will work closely with internal R&D teams, suppliers, and partners to ensure R3 Robotics solutions operate safely, efficiently, and reliably in production environments.
Your Responsibilities
- Deploy, commission, and validate robotic disassembly systems on-site at customer and partner facilities.
- Calibrate and fine-tune robotic arms, vision systems, sensors, and automation software for optimal performance in real-world conditions.
- Collaborate with robotics and automation teams to adapt and integrate robotic systems across variable environments.
- Diagnose and troubleshoot hardware and software issues during installation and operation, coordinating fixes with internal teams.
- Execute field tests, performance evaluations, and reliability assessments to ensure system robustness.
- Maintain and document calibration procedures, test protocols, and deployment best practices.
- Gather performance data and user feedback to drive continuous improvement of robotics hardware, control logic, and perception algorithms.
- Train partner and customer teams on safe operation and maintenance of deployed systems.
- Support remote diagnostics and provide first-line field technical assistance post-deployment.
- Contribute to the creation of technical documentation, deployment logs, and service manuals.
