You are responsible for the technical preparation, setup and operation of our demos at events worldwide. You make sure that every robot, application and technical showcase is ready, tested, safe and able to perform reliably in front of customers, partners, media and visitors.

• You take technical ownership of all robot demos, applications and live showcases at trade fairs, exhibitions, customer events, roadshows and partner events.
• You plan and coordinate demo setups with robots, humanoids, AMRs, cobots, end-effectors, sensors, software applications and connected systems.
• You ensure that every demo is technically functional, safe, stable and clearly understandable for the target audience.
• You define all technical requirements for each event, including space, power supply, network, safety areas, robot positioning, floor conditions and operating procedures.
• You coordinate the preparation of demos before shipment, including testing, documentation, packing, spare parts and fallback options.
• You manage the technical setup and commissioning on-site and ensure that all demos are ready before the event starts.
• During events, you oversee the technical operation of the demos, coordinate support staff and solve technical issues quickly and pragmatically.
