Senior Robotic Systems Engineer

The role

You will own and improve the core robotics software for flexible robotic work cells used in manufacturing. You will take systems from development through deployment in real production environments.

What you will do

• Own and evolve the work cell's core robotics software stack.
• Develop and optimize motion planning, trajectory generation, and robot control.
• Integrate cameras, force and torque sensors, and other perception systems into real-time control loops.
• Implement industrial safety concepts and fail-safe behaviors.
• Lead on-site testing, calibration, and commissioning of robotic systems.
• Drive system architecture decisions and engineering best practices.

Required qualifications

• At least 5 years of robotics engineering experience working with real robot hardware.
• Strong grounding in kinematics, motion planning, and control theory, with hands-on experience generating trajectories for industrial robot arms in production settings.
• Experience integrating vision and force or torque sensors into real-time robot-control loops.
• Proficiency in C++ and/or Python.
• 3D CAD experience with tools such as SolidWorks or CATIA.
• Experience with industrial or collaborative robot arms, end-of-arm tooling, and associated sensors.
• Fluent English.
• Experience deploying robots in industrial environments.
• Must be eligible to work in Germany.
• Able to work on-site in Munich five days per week.

Nice to have

• German.
• Background in surface finishing, welding, coating, machine vision, 3D perception, or protocols such as EtherCAT and OPC-UA.

Benefits

• Equity participation.

Before you apply

• Must be eligible to work in Germany.
• Visa sponsorship is not available.
