Working Student (m/f/d) – Electronics & Prototyping

About the Role at RobCo

At RobCo, we develop AI-powered robotic systems that make industrial processes more autonomous, efficient, and scalable. Our Autonomous Manufacturing Platform combines modular industrial hardware with physical AI, enabling rapid deployment and continuous optimization in real production environments.

With locations in Munich, San Francisco, and Austin, and backed by leading investors such as Lightspeed, Lingotto Innovation, and Sequoia, we are working to redefine industrial automation.

At RobCo, we automate the ordinary, so humans can do the extraordinary. To achieve this, we are looking for an ambitious Working Student (m/f/d) – Electronics & Prototyping to help us establish RobCo as leading provider of automation solutions.

As a Working Student in Electronics, you will support our engineering team in developing, testing, and improving electronic systems used in our robots. This is a hands-on role with a strong focus on prototyping and practical problem-solving.

Your Responsibilities

• Build and assemble electronic prototypes and test setups

• Perform functional testing and validation of hardware components

• Investigate and debug technical issues using lab equipment (e.g. oscilloscope, multimeter, logic analyzer)

• Support the design and creation of small PCBs

• Assist in writing simple embedded or test-related software

• Document test results and findings

We're looking for someone who has:

• Currently enrolled student in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics, or a related field

• Hands-on mindset: you enjoy building, tinkering, and experimenting

• Basic understanding of electronics and circuits

Nice to have:

• Experience with PCB design tools such as Altium Designer or KiCad

• Basic programming skills (e.g. Python, C/C++)

• Experience with lab equipment (oscilloscope, etc.)

• SMD soldering skills (not required, but a strong plus)

Why join RobCo?

• Develop modular, software-defined robotics solutions with us that set new standards in automation.

• Help us build robots equipped with state-of-the-art AI that perceive their environment, analyze data, and make intelligent decisions in real time.

• As part of a very dynamic and fast-growing scale-up, you will take on responsibility from day one, drive your own projects, and see the direct impact of your work.

• Flat hierarchies, open communication, and regular 360° feedback enable fast decisions and support your professional and personal development.

• Work out across Germany in over 7,200 studios with our subsidized Wellpass membership.

• Flexible working hours, a modern office, and—depending on the role—the option to work from home.

• Regular team events—from relaxed beer & pizza nights on the rooftop terrace to shared experiences on ski trips or at Oktoberfest.
