I lead autonomous robotics product lines from roadmap through certification and international deployment.
What I'm looking for
I lead two autonomous robotics product lines at SGL, owning their roadmaps from technical requirements and design through certification, field deployment, and international expansion. I translate embedded systems, ROS2, and RF/EMC constraints into product decisions while aligning engineering, supply chain, commercial teams, and technology partners.
Previously at Lely, I combined product ownership with hands-on robotics and software engineering for automated feeding systems, bringing a robot into production within a year through electronics migration and targeted rewrites. My background also includes navigation, localization, and mapping for package-sorting robots deployed across 40 US sites, plus vehicle-control integration for multi-brand platooning.
