About the Company
HACKING THE PHYSICS AND ECONOMICS OF MOTION CONTROL WITH DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY
At Synapticon, we are revolutionizing motion control for robotics and machines-right at the point of motion. Our approach is completely new: we integrate previously separate components such as motors, drives, sensors, and gearboxes into seamless units. At the same time, we are digitizing performance and quality factors that previously depended on expensive mechanical manufacturing. World-leading innovators are choosing Synapticon to pave their way into the future of intelligent, motion-controlled systems.

- Deep familiarity with robotics system integration: actuators, drives, sensors, middleware (ROS/ROS2 a strong plus)
- Solid understanding of functional safety (ISO 13849, IEC 62061, FSoE) and what it takes to get a safety-rated system through certification
- 3+ years of project management experience, ideally in a customer-facing technical services or product engineering context
- Experience managing suppliers, external contractors, and cross-functional development teams
- Clear, confident communicator - able to translate between customer requirements and engineering constraints
- Fluent in German and English (both written and spoken); other languages a plus
- Comfortable with ambiguity and comfortable pushing for clarity when needed
We Offer
- A warm, international team that truly enjoys working together
- Plenty of creative freedom and the opportunity to make a real impact
