The Site Robotics Expert will lead the robotics transformation of the manufacturing site in Muttenz, Switzerland, driving the development, implementation, scaling, and lifecycle management of robotics solutions across manufacturing, laboratories, warehousing, and material handling. The role bridges emerging robotics technologies with site needs - moving solutions from market scan to shop floor - by combining deep technical expertise with close proximity to the vendor and innovation ecosystem.

As the site's robotics expert, the individual will collaborate with local and global stakeholders, engineering, operations, quality, IT/OT teams, and technology partners to build a sustainable robotics ecosystem.

• Own the site robotics technology strategy and keep it continuously refreshed against market, vendor, and emerging-technology developments.
• Evaluate shared Work Centre standards and strategy, harmonising requirements across platforms and aligning global ways of working to ensure common requirements are defined, captured, and embedded consistently
• Own the User Requirement Specifications (URSs) and the technology & robotics roadmap for shared Work Centers, aligning common versus platform-specific requirements.
• Translate scouted technology into standardized, site-ready deployment packages - delivering implementable solutions, not just recommendations.
• Own and maintain the Robotics Catalogue for shared Work Centers, keeping availability, readiness, ownership, and technical details current
• Lead technology and market scouting, with dedicated focus on advanced capability areas such as computer vision, automated inspection, and physical AI, closing current resourcing gaps in these domains.
• Evaluate vendor capability and performance, and partner with Procurement on the selection and management of standard, approved vendors.
