Learn about the foundations and ideas that connect NexaRob with partners in a "win-win" model.
General information about cooperation
In this section, we explain the basic assumptions of our cooperation. You will learn who we are, what our cooperation model is, and why we believe that the joint commitment of all parties determines success. We also address general doubts regarding what NexaRob offers to specialists wishing to join the network of contractors.
NexaRob is a company that integrates robotic and automation solutions for industry. We implement both classic industrial robot deployments (welding, palletizing, manipulation) and advanced projects using AI, cobots, or vision systems. We need collaborators with diverse skills - from robot programmers and PLC engineers to ROI consultants, as well as installers and service technicians. This allows us to offer clients fully comprehensive services.
"Win-win" means that each party in the cooperation - NexaRob, the contractor, and the end client - gains tangible benefits. Specialists receive attractive compensation and development opportunities, clients have access to reliable services and technologies, and NexaRob gains a stable network of professionals who help effectively implement various projects.
Yes. There are shorter implementations, such as robot programming for a specific task or one-time modernizations, as well as implementations lasting months or years in large factories and production networks. Collaborators can get involved in selected, individual orders or stay with us longer, participating in subsequent projects.
We serve industries such as food processing, automotive, chemical, electronics, packaging, and metalworking. The scope of projects can be very broad: from standard implementation of welding robots to complex lines integrated with AI, cobots, and vision systems. We also create solutions for innovative industries (agriculture, medicine, logistics), and in these areas we are constantly looking for new specialists.
You can use the form available on our website under "Collaboration" or send us an email with a description of your experience (CV, link to GitHub/LinkedIn). After analyzing your application, we will invite you to an interview if your skills match current or planned projects.
Although many projects require solid experience, we are also open to collaborating with less experienced individuals who have strong technical foundations and a willingness to learn. In such cases, your commitment and desire to quickly develop skills are key, and we will provide appropriate support and mentorship.
Most often, we collaborate on a B2B basis or through project contracts, which means that having your own business or being willing to establish one is welcome. If the project requires physical work at the client's site, liability insurance is also often necessary (e.g., in case of equipment damage). We always discuss these issues individually, depending on the nature of the tasks.
We do not require exclusivity, as long as the contractor is able to meet their obligations on time and does not violate confidentiality clauses. Many people combine projects from NexaRob with other projects, allocating time and resources according to individual arrangements.
If a project has an international scope (team members from different countries, documentation from the robot manufacturer), knowledge of English is often key. However, in strictly local tasks, proficiency in the client's language may be more important. We always strive to clearly communicate the level of linguistic communication required.
We carefully match contractor profiles to projects, taking into account m.in- required technologies, industry, location (if on-site work is needed), as well as availability and expected rates. The more your skills align with current needs, the greater your chances of being hired.
Usually, it is enough to perform your part of the work diligently, deliver results on time and maintain good communication with the team. A positive evaluation from the coordinator and the client means that your name will be on the "short list" for subsequent projects. Additionally, if you declare new skills (e.g., training in AI, vision systems), you increase your chances of participating in more ambitious projects.
The scope is very wide - some projects, such as minor modifications to robotic code, may be completed in a few days or weeks, while a complex production line with many robots and vision systems may take up to several months. We strive to clearly communicate the expected duration at the team formation stage.
Most often we cooperate on a contractual basis (B2B), which allows for more flexible combination of our projects with other assignments and increases freedom in time management. Depending on the market and industry, we also allow other forms of employment if both parties prefer it.
As much as possible, we provide materials and training (e.g., webinars, documentation, consultations with experienced engineers). We want you to be able to freely develop your skills and deliver services at the highest level.
We organize regular workshops and online presentations, share educational resources, and often collaborate with robot or controller manufacturers who also offer official courses. The more knowledge you have, the better it is for all parties involved.
Depending on the project's needs and available partnership programs, we can assist in organizing certified training courses (e.g., ABB, FANUC). Sometimes, we cover part of the costs if it is crucial for the success of the planned implementations.
In most projects, NexaRob acts as the integrator and remains the main point of contact for the client. However, in some situations (e.g., a technical presentation is required), you may be asked to consult directly with the client. This depends on your role and preferences.
As an integrator, we take on the mediation and clarification of the situation, striving to find an optimal solution that satisfies both parties. Our goal is to maintain a "win-win" partnership approach, so we focus on honest communication and finding compromises.
Many projects (especially physical robot installation, assembly, or service work) require liability insurance to protect you, NexaRob, and the client in case of unforeseen events. If you do not yet have a policy, we can help you find a suitable solution.
Our standard model is hourly payment, fixed price, or a fixed project rate; however, in exceptional cases - for large and groundbreaking projects - we consider sharing risk and profit. The terms of such a partnership are negotiated individually, taking into account the contractor's contribution and responsibility.
Check what we expect from candidates and how the work organization looks like at NexaRob.
Requirements and mode of operation
In the "Requirements and mode of operation" section, we discuss the formal and technical aspects of cooperation. Here you will find information about the necessary skills, documents, insurance, and certificates, as well as how project coordination works. We believe that transparent procedures and clear agreements are the basis for effective collaboration.
Most often, we ask you to have your own business (B2B) or be willing to establish one. In some countries and projects, a civil law agreement or contract is sufficient. It is also important to have liability insurance (e.g., in the area of robot service/assembly), if required by projects involving physical work on machines.
We primarily value practical skills because projects are often focused on rapid implementation. However, if you have a strong theoretical background (e.g., recently graduated from robotics/mechatronics) and demonstrate your abilities in test tasks, we can consider cooperation and provide you with a mentor who will introduce you to the realities of work.
It depends on the type of projects. If we are planning an implementation in an environment such as ABB RAPID, and you have an official certificate, that's great! However, the lack of formal certificates is not always an obstacle - if you have practical experience and pass an internal verification, you can also receive a project.
The basis is a stable internet connection (especially for remote work), software that allows you to create code (IDE, GIT repositories) and possibly tools for robot simulation or PLC analysis. We often provide the licenses ourselves or the manufacturer of the given technology. If you have your own tools that are compatible with ours, you can use them.
Most often, this is done in the form of technical interviews, in which we ask you to describe previous implementations, tools and technologies that you have used. Sometimes we also give a practical task (e.g., a short fragment of code controlling the movement of a robot) to assess the quality of writing and understanding of the programming platform.
Yes, in most projects requiring physical presence at the client's site, we recommend (and often require) liability insurance to protect you in the event of unforeseen damage to property or accidents. Sometimes clients also directly request proof of a valid policy from the contractor.
In general, we designate a project leader / coordinator (this can be a NexaRob engineer or an experienced external partner). We use task management tools (e.g., Jira, Trello, Asana) to divide the work into sprints or stages. We communicate via video conferences, Slack, emails, so that everyone knows what the status of other team members' work is.
We usually use hourly rates and a shared time tracking system (e.g., a tool for logging task hours). We can also agree on a fixed price for a specific scope - in this case, we estimate how much time a given functionality will take and agree on a total amount. This is a matter of individual arrangements for each project.
Yes, we often ask for feedback from previous employers or contractors to verify the reliability and timeliness of your work. This is a standard practice in the robotics and automation industry, where trust and quality of execution are crucial.
Usually, the result of programming or project work becomes the property of the end client (or NexaRob, if this is stipulated in the contract). However, if you have proprietary libraries or modules that you want to use in the project, we can agree on special terms. All IP details are specified in the contract.
NexaRob acquires most of the projects and coordinates agreements with end clients. You, as a specialist, join projects that we offer you. However, if you have an idea for a project in your region and want to involve NexaRob as an integrator, we are also open to such proposals and potential commission for recommendations.
Most often Slack or Microsoft Teams for daily contact, Zoom/Google Meet/Teams for video conferences, and Trello/Jira for project tasks. We store code in Git repositories (GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab). We prefer that each team member actively participates in these tools to exchange information on an ongoing basis.
To a large extent, yes - if you receive a project proposal, you can initially get acquainted with its scope, deadlines and rates. If the project suits you, we sign a contract. If not, we wait for another one that is more suitable for your preferences or time availability.
Absolutely. In many production lines, the client may have robots from different manufacturers or combine AI/IoT platforms with various control environments. NexaRob creates cross-industry and multi-platform teams to comprehensively handle such implementations.
NexaRob acts as a mediator. We try to quickly identify the causes of misunderstandings and find satisfactory solutions based on the "win-win" principle. If the situation requires more serious intervention, we involve the project coordinator or NexaRob management.
Yes, NexaRob collects documentation and developed "best practices" regarding programming, testing, and safety of automation systems. You will have access to these resources to speed up your work and maintain a consistent level of quality in the project.
If we are implementing projects that require international shipments or deliveries of equipment, NexaRob usually takes over the organization of the logistics process. As a contractor, you do not have to worry about formalities unless your scope includes independent distribution of components. In this case, we will explain which responsibilities lie with you and which NexaRob will take on.
These 20 questions and answers should help you understand the requirements and principles in place at NexaRob, how we coordinate technical tasks, and how we collaborate in a "win-win" model. We hope they address any doubts regarding work organization, the role of coordinators, or safety standards. If any further questions arise, please feel free to contact us directly - we will be happy to clarify details and facilitate the process of joining our network of contractors.
Learn about the principles of collaboration in an international environment and flexible project implementation methods.
Remote work, travel, and cultural differences.
NexaRob operates globally, and our partners and clients come from many countries. Therefore, in this section, we present the principles of remote collaboration, describe the possibility of remote work, and explain when on-site visits are necessary. We also discuss issues arising from cultural and linguistic differences - so that everyone knows how to navigate an international environment.
Yes, there are many tasks (m.in(e.g., robot programming, AI data analysis, PLC system design) is performed entirely remotely. However, some projects require physical presence during assembly or robot calibration - in such cases, on-site visits may be necessary. We are flexible and strive to adapt the scope of work to the individual’s capabilities.
We establish a schedule for video conferences or daily stand-up meetings in a way that allows all parties to participate. We usually try to find "golden hour" times so that everyone can join without disrupting their daily routine.
Yes, if the project requires on-site presence with the client. We discuss this individually in the contract (e.g., rates for business trips, per diems). Usually, NexaRob organizes or reimburses transportation and hotel, while the contractor focuses on technical tasks.
Communication often takes place in English, but if a local language is key (e.g., French, German, Japanese), we use translators or local NexaRob partners. At the same time, we encourage contractors to develop their language skills.
Of course. Before signing the project agreement, we determine whether physical presence at a given location will be required and whether you are willing to do so. If trips don't suit you, we will look for a fully remote task or one in another region.
We most often use team communication platforms (Slack, Teams, Zoom) and code repositories (GitHub, GitLab). The project leader coordinates the flow of information. Multicultural teams operate according to common standards and schedules, which minimizes the risk of misunderstandings.
No, we usually agree on the best option together. NexaRob can suggest specific hotels or take care of booking flights for you. All formalities are outlined in the agreement or an addendum regarding business trips.
NexaRob strives to convey basic principles and norms prevailing in a given region to the contractor. If the project is longer-term, we sometimes organize short intercultural training sessions to facilitate cooperation and communication with local engineers or clients.
The dates are the result of agreements with the client and the project schedule. For example, if the installation must take place in a specific week, we have to stick to it. There are also more flexible tasks, especially when the work is spread over time and does not depend on a single critical deadline.
Health and liability insurance are important. NexaRob standardly takes such risks into account in the documentation, striving to help organize medical assistance or cover return costs. We discuss the details when signing the contract to avoid complications during the project.
Yes, in most cases we use time tracking tools, especially if we bill hourly. If the project is billed at a fixed rate, we report progress on tasks according to agreed-upon terms - this allows us to maintain transparency and effective information flow.
We offer organizational assistance and guidance regarding visa applications, especially for trips outside the Schengen area or to countries with more stringent regulations. The details depend on the specific case, but usually NexaRob takes responsibility for verifying formal requirements.
We use testing procedures (e.g., code review, simulation tests, integration tests) and utilize platforms to record results. If physical robot testing is required, we cooperate with a local partner who performs the tests and provides us with data in the form of video or reports.
Yes - NexaRob most often provides access to cloud services (AWS, Azure, GCP) where machine learning models can be trained and deployed. If you have your own resources (e.g., workstations with GPUs), we can use them if it is consistent with project requirements and security documentation.
We usually determine which calendars and holidays need to be taken into account to avoid delays. If you work, for example, in a region where a different system of public holidays applies, we try to take this into account in the schedule so that you can work under optimal conditions.
From time to time, yes. We sometimes invite key specialists to company events, training sessions, or industry conferences to strengthen relationships and integrate the team. However, this is not a standard practice for every project.
We place great emphasis on regular communication - leaders are available during set hours (usually with time slots that take into account time zone differences), and you can also use Slack/Teams channels for quick questions. For more complex issues, we organize ad-hoc meetings or mentoring in video format.
If the project is long-term and crucial for NexaRob, we sometimes co-finance language courses or intercultural training, especially when relationships with the client require better knowledge of local conditions. We discuss this solution on an individual basis.
Yes, no one is forced to participate in projects that they consider risky or that do not meet their safety standards. NexaRob strives to provide contractors with reliable information about the location of the project so that they can make an informed decision. If you do not agree with certain conditions, we will find another project for you.
Remote work and assignments to clients in various parts of the world are an integral part of international automation implementations. Thanks to transparent procedures and support from the NexaRob team, cooperation runs smoothly, even in the face of cultural differences or language barriers. We hope that the above questions and answers will help you understand how we implement global projects in practice. If you still have doubts or need specific arrangements, please contact us.

Financial terms and formalities
Cooperation with NexaRob under a "win-win" model includes transparent billing, contract and procedure rules that ensure the safety and security of all parties. Below are the most frequently asked questions regarding finances and formalities. If something is missing here, please contact us - we will be happy to discuss the details and clarify any doubts.
Most often, we use a B2B model (cooperation agreement with a sole proprietorship) or project contracts. In some cases, we also allow other forms, depending on the local market and the expectations of both parties - e.g., civil law agreements or even full-time employment in countries where this is tax-advantageous.
We usually accept 14-, 21- or 30-day payment terms from the invoice date, depending on the region and local practices. Details are specified in the contract or financial annex. We want contractors to receive their remuneration on time and transparently.
Yes. When the implementation of a project requires on-site presence (e.g., robot installation, line commissioning), we usually agree that NexaRob will reimburse travel and accommodation costs in accordance with agreed rates or allowances. Detailed rules (limit for hotel, transport, etc.) are described in the contract.
Depending on the type and scale of the project, yes - especially when it comes to service or assembly work, where there is a risk of damage to equipment or accidents. Liability insurance is the most common form of protection. In strictly remote projects (e.g., robot programming), an agreement protecting confidentiality and possibly copyrights is sufficient.
A system of advance payments is possible (e.g., 30% upon commencement, 40% during the project, 30% upon completion) or monthly invoicing based on hours worked. We want both parties to feel secure - you as a contractor have the certainty of regular payments, and NexaRob can bill the end client proportionally to the progress of the work.
Yes, this is standard procedure. We work with clients from various industries, often dealing with sensitive data, so NDAs protect business and technological information. As a contractor, you undertake not to disclose project details, code, or documentation to unauthorized persons.
Usually, the results of the work (code, CAD projects, documentation) become the property of the end client or NexaRob. You can find detailed arrangements regarding the transfer of copyrights in the agreement. If you contribute your own libraries or solutions to the project, we can sign an additional annex regulating licenses and any fees for their use.
Yes. We are interested in long-term cooperation, so if your skills expand and you bring higher value to the projects, we can discuss higher rates. For complex or unusual tasks, a rate higher than the standard one can also be agreed upon.
In most cases, NexaRob handles the billing with the client, and you settle with us according to the rates specified in the contract. If a problem arises (e.g., the client fails to pay on time), we take on the risk and handle any collection issues. We strive to protect the interests of the contractor by ensuring financial stability.
If the end client cancels, and you have not completed all the tasks, we will settle for the work already done (hourly or based on progress). We can also offer another assignment to compensate for any potential disruption. The details of such a "Plan B" are usually described in the contract or addendum.
Usually 1-2 weeks, provided that both parties are determined and have the necessary documents (VAT/tax ID, any insurance). In the case of complex projects or work requiring clarification of terms (e.g., tests, trial tasks), it may take a little longer.
We do not have a strict limit. Some specialists commit full-time (e.g., in large implementations), while others contribute a few hours per week as consultants or part-time programmers. It is important that you clearly define your availability and the deadlines by which you can complete tasks.
Usually, we take care of customs and tax issues, including cross-border settlements. If additional documentation is required (e.g., export certificates) in rare cases, our legal department or external consultants will help with the formalities. You, as the contractor, receive clear instructions on what to sign or what data to provide.
We can include penalty clauses, especially when required by the end client. However, we strive to set them at reasonable levels, commensurate with the level of risk. We value reliability, and in situations beyond our control (e.g., hardware failure), we engage in dialogue and seek solutions instead of immediately enforcing penalties.
Most often, we use tools like Toggl, Harvest, time tracking in Jira, or Trello with a time logging function. We can also establish another system (e.g., Excel spreadsheet or our internal portal) - the important thing is to ensure transparency and reliable billing.
For projects with a fixed-price budget, NexaRob takes on negotiations with the end client, and you work according to the agreed rates or scope. If it was an hourly rate, we bill for the additional time based on the actual workload, provided that the client agrees to extend the budget. We strive to avoid surprising anyone with costs, so quick communication about potential delays is key.
Most often in euros (EUR) or US dollars (USD), but we also sometimes invoice in other currencies depending on preferences. For local implementations, we most often use the currency of the country where the contractor or end client operates. The most important thing is to agree on everything in the contract to avoid exchange rate fluctuations and misunderstandings.
Yes, this is a common practice. We agree on the exchange rate (e.g., the average from the central bank on the invoice date) and specify it in the contract, indicating which party bears any differences resulting from changes in the exchange rate. This gives you the freedom to issue invoices in your currency, and we ensure consistent billing in the chosen currency.
If someone needs confirmation or is a participant in a partnership program (e.g., EU grants), we can prepare certificates of our timely payments and transparent cooperation. We understand that the company's reputation depends on trust and reliable relationships with contractors.
Financial terms and formal issues are one of the pillars of successful projects at NexaRob. We strive to make the cooperation transparent and profitable for all parties, while ensuring adequate safeguards (insurance, NDAs, intellectual property rules). If you still have questions, please contact us - together we will find the optimal payment model and establish principles that will allow you to comfortably carry out tasks in a "win-win" model.
Check what development opportunities NexaRob offers and how you can participate in future projects.
Development of competencies and long-term cooperation.
In the section on competency development, we describe how NexaRob supports training, workshops, and certification programs, as well as how to advance or expand your skills in subsequent projects. You will also learn why we strive for long-term relationships with contractors and how the "win-win" model promotes continuous expansion of professional horizons.
Yes. With each successfully completed project, your reputation in our network grows, and the chance of taking on more responsible tasks increases. You can move from the role of a contractor for individual assignments to the position of technical leader, coordinator, or mentor for less experienced specialists.
We organize webinars, online workshops, and mentoring programs. We often cooperate with robot manufacturers (ABB, FANUC, KUKA, etc.), offering access to official courses and certifications. Employees who continuously expand their competencies can expect more complex and better-paid tasks.
Absolutely. For example, if you started as a FANUC Karel programmer and later acquired skills in AI vision systems, you can inform us that you are ready to undertake tasks in this area. We will take your new skills into account when selecting projects.
We have internal repositories and documentation that we try to regularly update. When robot or controller manufacturers release new versions, we strive to keep our partners informed and provide training materials. We also organize online meetings to discuss key changes in the industry.
Yes. If your market value increases (you acquire new skills, successfully deliver subsequent implementations), you can negotiate an increase in rates. NexaRob strives to ensure that your compensation reflects your real skills and contribution to the project.
As standard, we settle in the form of hourly or project-based rates. In the case of exceptionally innovative R&D projects, there may be an option to join the company as a shareholder or participate in profits. However, we discuss such cases individually and they require a partnership agreement and mutual interest from both parties.
That is possible. If you have trusted engineers around you and want to work on projects together, we can sign an agreement with your group/small company. Well-organized teams are more likely to be involved in larger and more profitable ventures.
In some situations, yes - especially if your profile is key to NexaRob's development strategy, and both parties see long-term potential. However, we generally prefer the B2B model, which offers greater freedom and flexibility.
Yes, with longer collaborations, project coordinators and technical leaders regularly summarize results and provide feedback. We can offer you a career path (e.g., to the role of team leader, mentor, or consultant in subsequent projects) and indicate areas where it is worth improving your skills.
Of course. If you want to share knowledge (e.g., by conducting webinars, internal workshops), NexaRob will support such initiatives. In the spirit of "win-win," your skills as a trainer can bring value to the entire ecosystem of collaborators and increase your reputation within the team.
Absolutely. NexaRob is open to R&D initiatives and product innovation. If you have an idea that could bring real benefits, we will be happy to discuss it. We may initiate a joint pilot project or invite you to join the team developing a new service.
Yes. If you demonstrate not only technical skills but also organizational and communication skills, you may be asked to take on a leadership role in the next project. This usually involves greater responsibility and correspondingly higher compensation.
After completing an implementation or key stage, we conduct a brief evaluation (e.g., in the form of a retrospective). You can then indicate what surprised you and what could be improved. We will also inform you about the client's and project leader's feedback. This allows us to learn from each other and improve collaboration on future projects.
As much as possible, yes. NexaRob has a global network of partners and clients, and also actively conducts marketing activities. If we notice an increasing demand for automation services in your region, you may become a local representative for implementations - this is another step in the development of our mutual cooperation.
In key projects and for contractors who play a significant role in the company's strategy, it sometimes happens that NexaRob covers the costs of participating in important industry events (e.g., Hannover Messe, Automatica). We decide on this individually, depending on the value that a given specialist will bring to our activities.
We are open to such proposals. If you decide to develop installation or service services in your own company, we can establish cooperation rules as a partner-contractor. We check whether you meet quality standards and how we will share profits. All in the spirit of "win-win".
Yes, in most cases, after successful projects, we can issue written references or a recommendation on LinkedIn. We want our collaborators to gain recognition in the industry and expand their professional opportunities - even if they sometimes undertake other assignments in parallel with NexaRob projects.
Long-term cooperation with NexaRob is not only about completing individual tasks but also actively building a career path in the robotics and automation industry. Through systematic training, participation in new projects, and clear financial settlement rules, we create an environment conducive to your development. If you feel that you want to be involved for the long term, these 20 questions and answers should help you understand how many opportunities open up in the "win-win" model proposed by NexaRob.
