Robotic PM & IT Integration - Regional

The role consists mainly to :

• Identify and support the implementation of robotization opportunities to support growth and scalability in low-volume, high-mix production environments.
• Act as the main interface between factory operations and digital technology teams (IT/OT) to ensure seamless integration of robotic systems into our digital landscape (SAP, MES, windchill, , etc.).

Essential Responsibilities

Project Management & Execution

• Coordinate or lead the planning, execution, and delivery of robotic projects from concept to commissioning with factory teams & integrators
• Define project scope, goals, deliverables, timelines, and budgets in alignment with stakeholders.
• Coordinate with internal teams (engineering, operations, maintenance, safety) and external vendors/integrators.
• Manage project risks, change controls, and resource constraints to ensure successful deployment.

Business Case Development

• Analyze with the factory their manufacturing processes to identify automation/robotization opportunities.
• Define ROI, payback period, and performance KPIs for proposed robotic investments.
• Prepare and present detailed business cases to Business Line leadership and robotics & automation council to support capital investment decisions

Digital System Integration (SAP, MES, Networks, Databases)

• Act as the key interface between operational teams and IT/digital stakeholders to align needs and system requirements.
• Ensure proper integration of robotic and automation systems with enterprise platforms (SAP, MES, SCADA, …).
• Validate data flow and system compatibility: including master data, production orders, traceability, and real-time data.
• Support network infrastructure planning, cybersecurity compliance, and digital architecture design.
• Collaborate with the Digital organization teams to ensure the readiness of production sites for new robotic systems (connectivity, data mapping, protocols).

Continuous Improvement & Strategy

• Support the development of roadmaps for future robotic initiatives in the European factories and the scalability of some running projects.
• Contribute to the roadmap of robotic and digital initiatives at the factory and business line level.
• Help define integration standards, digital best practices, and scalable solutions.
• Support knowledge transfer and capability building across sites to strengthen the organization’s digital maturity..
• Support internal capability building and knowledge transfer across sites.

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Automation, Mechatronics) or a related field. A Master’s degree or MBA is a plus.
