R3 Robotics is developing the AI-powered dismantling platform that transforms end-of-life electric vehicle systems into strategic sources of critical materials. As global electrification accelerates, the surge in batteries and e-motors requires automated solutions that manual disassembly cannot provide. We are addressing this industrial bottleneck by enabling the automated dismantling of complex systems at scale through computer vision, artificial intelligence, and specialized robotic tooling.
Following a successful €20M Series A funding round led by HG Ventures and Suma Capital, we are expanding across Europe and preparing for our entry into the United States market in 2026. We partner with major industrial recyclers and automotive OEMs to deliver measurable impact.
If you seek to work on advanced robotics within a well-funded organization scaling internationally, this is your opportunity.
Your Role
The Deployment Manager is responsible for leading the end-to-end deployment of operational systems, equipment, and infrastructure across customer sites and internal facilities. This role ensures projects move efficiently from manufacturing through logistics to installation, commissioning, and operational handover.
The position combines deployment leadership, ensuring that delivery timelines, costs, and quality standards are consistently achieved while scaling deployment capability.
This leader will build and manage a high-performing deployment organisation, align cross-functional teams, and optimise the supply chain to support rapid and reliable rollouts.
