Körber is a global technology group headquartered in Germany, founded in 1946 and now operating from more than 100 locations with approximately 13,000 employees. The company's core competency is building integrated systems that combine hardware, software, and digital services for industrial applications - particularly in manufacturing, warehousing, and supply chain operations. For robotics engineers, the relevant domain spans warehouse automation, sensor systems, and logistics software, where mechatronic and autonomous systems must reliably operate under real-world industrial constraints.
The company's warehouse automation portfolio involves the design and deployment of automated material handling systems that coordinate physical machinery with control software and data services. Sensor systems are a distinct product area, suggesting work at the hardware-software interface for perception, measurement, or process monitoring in industrial environments. Logistics software complements these physical systems, requiring engineers to bridge embedded control layers with higher-level planning and orchestration platforms.
Körber serves regulated and high-throughput verticals including pharmaceutical packaging, where packaging lines must meet stringent compliance and traceability requirements in addition to throughput targets. The company's engineering approach emphasizes integrated solutions - hardware, software, and digital services developed together rather than as separate layers - which implies cross-disciplinary collaboration and an expectation that engineers understand system-level trade-offs across mechanical, electrical, and software domains.
