SENIOR ROBOTICS

AI, Physical AI & Humanoid Robotics: a new challenge for industry

For a major technological and industrial innovation project , we are looking for a:

SENIOR ROBOTICS & AI INNOVATION MANAGER

SENIOR ROBOTICS & AI INNOVATION MANAGER

a professional who will contribute to the development and industrial application of Artificial Intelligence, Physical AI, Advanced Robotics and Humanoid Systems .

This is an opportunity to join a project at the intersection of AI, robotics and industrial innovation , with a distinctive feature: the role itself will evolve as the technology and the project progress .

During the first phase, the selected candidate will combine strong technical expertise with a hands-on approach, working directly on the development and validation of advanced robotic and AI applications.

As the project evolves, the role will progressively move towards Technology & Innovation leadership , contributing to the definition of new applications, technology priorities and the long-term roadmap for the introduction of humanoid systems into industrial environments.

First 12 Months | From Lab to PoC

The first 12 months will focus on the development and validation of a concrete Humanoid Robotics and Physical AI PoC in an industrial environment.

The successful candidate will contribute to:

• defining and developing an initial Humanoid Robotics use case

• applying Artificial Intelligence, Physical AI, Machine Learning and Robot Learning

• developing Imitation Learning / Learning from Demonstration approaches

• defining and integrating robot hardware, sensing technologies and system architecture

• exploring wearable sensing solutions to capture human demonstrations and relevant motion data

• defining data acquisition, organization, storage and management processes for robot learning

• collaborating with R&D teams, technology partners and applied research environments throughout the development process

• addressing system reliability, safety and robustness

• moving the solution progressively from laboratory experimentation towards an industrial test environment

• validating the PoC through controlled testing in a protected industrial area

• producing technical deliverables and assessing the potential for further industrial applications.

The objective is to transform emerging Physical AI and humanoid robotics technologies into a concrete, tested and industrially relevant application within 12 months.

Beyond the First 12 Months | From PoC to Industrial Roadmap

Following the initial PoC, the role will progressively evolve from hands-on technical development towards broader Technology & Innovation responsibilities .

The candidate will contribute to:

• identifying and evaluating new applications of Physical AI, Humanoid Robotics and Advanced Robotics in industrial processes

• defining technology priorities and development roadmaps

• contributing to a multi-year roadmap for the introduction of humanoid systems into industrial environments

• coordinating projects involving R&D, Manufacturing, IT/Data and external technology partners

• evaluating technological maturity, industrial feasibility, safety, reliability and economic sustainability

• supporting the transition from individual PoCs towards scalable industrial applications

• developing internal technological capabilities, methodologies and best practices

• progressively taking ownership of projects, planning, budgets and stakeholder management.

The long-term objective is to contribute to defining how Physical AI and humanoid robotics can progressively become part of future industrial operations .
