Type: Full-time

 

About Us

Automation A is a consulting firm specialized in mobile robotics and intralogistics automation. We help leading industrial companies turn their automation ambitions into measurable success — with strategic clarity, fast execution, and scalable results. From initial vision to implementation and fleet optimization, we bring deep expertise from over 1,000 mobile robot deployments to projects that matter. Our clients rely on us to deliver solutions that work — and generate real impact.

 

Your Role

As Automation Operations Manager, you are responsible for the successful deployment, stabilization, and scaling of mobile robotics systems at our clients’ sites. You’ll bridge the gap between strategic design and real-world execution — ensuring that AMRs, AGVs, and fleet software deliver what was promised. From test planning and go-live support to continuous improvement of live systems, you’ll take ownership of the automation lifecycle where it matters most: in operations.

 

Your Responsibilities

  • Lead and coordinate AMR/AGV rollouts, from commissioning to stabilization

  • Support customer teams on-site and remotely during testing, ramp-up, and troubleshooting

  • Monitor performance metrics and ensure operational KPIs are achieved

  • Identify and resolve bottlenecks in fleet performance and material flow

  • Collaborate with software providers and OEMs to drive technical improvements

  • Build rollout playbooks and optimize support processes for future projects

 

Your Profile

  • Hands-on experience with mobile robotics systems (AMRs, AGVs, or similar technologies)

  • Strong understanding of operational logistics processes in manufacturing or warehouse settings

  • Experience with system rollouts, IT integration, or fleet orchestration tools is a strong plus

  • Proactive mindset, structured work style, and problem-solving attitude

  • Willingness to travel (mainly Europe, occasional overseas)

  • Fluent in English and German
