Forward Deployed Engineer

Cyberwave invites a Forward Deployed Engineer to design and deliver robotics arm automation deployments for logistic and manufacturing customers in Milan. You will work hands-on with robots, customers, sales, and account managers to translate complex automation needs into deployed systems using Cyberwave infrastructure.

You will collaborate with engineering and product to turn field learnings into platform improvements, traveling to customer sites as needed and engaging with leading vendor arms

Work with sales and account managers to scope customer automation opportunities and define technically credible solutions. Lead discovery sessions, site visits, demos, pilots, and deployment planning for robotic arm automation projects. Design, prototype, and deploy customer solutions using Cyberwave infrastructure and third-party robotics hardware. Integrate robotic arms with end effectors, cameras, sensors, PLCs, conveyors, fixtures, and customer systems. Own technical success for pilots and early deployments, from requirements gathering through on-site debugging and handoff. Document solution architectures, deployment playbooks, and repeatable patterns for future customers. Bring field feedback to product and engineering so Cyberwave becomes easier to deploy in real industrial environments 3+ years delivering robotics, industrial automation, or systems integration projects for real customers. Specific project experience with robotic arms in logistics, manufacturing, warehousing, packaging, inspection, or material handling. Hands-on experience with industrial or collaborative robot arms such as KUKA, ABB, Kinova, Universal Robots, FANUC, Yaskawa, or similar platforms. Ability to design an end-to-end automation solution across robot motion, tooling, safety, sensors, PLCs, conveyors, and software integration. Strong customer communication skills, including translating operational pain points into technical requirements and deployment plans. Comfort debugging hardware and software on-site under real production constraints. Comfortable working in English in an international, fast-moving environment. Bonus: experience with ROS or ROS 2, machine vision, PLCs, fieldbus protocols, or industrial safety standards Competitive compensation Equity In-person collaboration in Milan
