Product Manager – Smart Diagnostics & Digitalization

Location: Remote
Industry: Feed & Biofuel / Renewable Energy / Industrial Automation
Type: Full-Time | Permanent

About Us

We are working with a global leader in the design and construction of advanced feed and biomass production plants. Their mission is to deliver high-performance industrial solutions that maximize sustainability, efficiency, and uptime. As they expand their digital capabilities, we are looking for a Product Manager with a strong mechanical background and expertise in smart diagnostics and digital product development.

Role Overview

As Product Manager for Smart Diagnostics, you will lead the development of innovative digital tools to monitor and diagnose mechanical assets across a global customer base. This includes leveraging machine learning, sensor data, and domain expertise to reduce downtime and improve operational efficiency.

You’ll play a key role in conceptualizing, designing, and delivering digital products from scratch, bridging the gap between mechanical engineering and next-gen digital solutions.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and develop digital diagnostic products for mechanical assets (e.g., pellet mills, conveyors, grinders).

  • Define and own the product roadmap for smart maintenance and condition monitoring solutions.

  • Utilize machine data, vibration analysis, and performance metrics to predict failure modes and optimize service schedules.

  • Apply machine learning models to real-world machine behavior in feed and biomass plants.

  • Collaborate with software engineers, data scientists, service engineers, and plant designers.

  • Engage with customers and stakeholders to understand their pain points and tailor solutions.

  • Lead end-to-end product lifecycle from idea to commercial launch.

  • Ensure full alignment with engineering, digital development, and commercial teams.

  • Contribute to building an intelligent service platform for the industry of tomorrow.

    What We’re Looking For

  • Mechanical Engineering degree or similar technical background.

  • Proven experience in diagnostic systems, predictive maintenance, or condition monitoring.

  • Strong understanding of mechanical asset behavior in industrial environments.

  • Experience applying machine learning models or working alongside data science teams.

  • Ability to create digital products from the ground up in a structured and user-centric way.

  • Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.

  • Experience in the Feed & Biofuel or biomass processing industry is highly desirable.

  • Fluent in English; additional languages are a plus.

    What We Offer

  • A key role in shaping the future of digital maintenance in renewable industries.

  • Opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies and meaningful industrial applications.

  • A collaborative, international environment with significant autonomy.

  • Competitive salary and benefits package.

  • Travel opportunities and career progression within a global leader

Where to Advertise Robotics Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising robotics jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool spans mechanical engineers, software developers, controls specialists, computer vision researchers and systems integrators — a multidisciplinary mix that general job boards are poorly equipped to reach. The strongest robotics candidates are often embedded in research groups, defence programmes or advanced manufacturing environments, and move between roles through specialist networks and industry events rather than mainstream platforms. This guide, published by RoboticsJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise robotics roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

New Robotics Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Transforming Automation Careers

Robotics is moving rapidly from factory floors into healthcare, logistics, agriculture, autonomous systems, and consumer products. As automation becomes embedded in everyday life, companies are investing in robots that operate alongside humans, analyse environments in real time, and learn from data. In 2026, demand for robotics engineers, software developers, system integrators, and AI specialists continues to surge. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.RoboticsJobs.co.uk , understanding the employers that are scaling, winning contracts, securing investment, or expanding into the UK market is crucial. This article highlights top robotics employers to watch in 2026, spanning innovative startups, high‑growth scale‑ups, and established global technology leaders with strong UK presence.

How Many Robotics Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Robotics Job?

If you’re pursuing a career in robotics, it can feel like the list of tools you should learn never ends. One job advert asks for ROS, another mentions Gazebo, another wants experience with Python, Linux, C++, RobotStudio, MATLAB/Simulink, perception stacks, control frameworks, real-time OS, vision libraries — and that’s just scratching the surface. With so many frameworks, languages and platforms, it’s no wonder robotics job seekers feel overwhelmed. But here’s the honest truth most recruiters won’t say explicitly: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can apply the right tools to solve real robotics problems reliably and explain your reasoning clearly. Tools matter — but only in service of outcomes. So the real question isn’t how many tools you should know, but which tools you should master and why. For most robotics roles, the answer is significantly fewer — and far more focused — than you might assume. This article breaks down what employers really expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable, confident, and ready to contribute from day one.
