Proof of Concept (PoC) Engineer - Mobile Service Robots (human)

The role

You will lead short-cycle customer projects for autonomous mobile service robotics solutions. You will deploy, validate, and optimize robotic applications in real customer environments.

What you will do

• Own and execute customer Proof of Concept projects.
• Design, configure, and deploy autonomous mobile robotic solutions.
• Demonstrate the value of NEURA Robotics technologies through hands-on implementation.
• Act as the technical interface between customers, sales and engineering teams.
• Gather field insights and translate customer feedback into actionable product improvements.
• Identify emerging automation opportunities and future use cases.
• Collaborate with software, perception, navigation, and manipulation teams.
• Configure and optimize autonomous navigation in dynamic and unstructured environments.
• Tune multi-sensor perception systems including LiDAR, RGB/RGB-D cameras, IMUs, and additional environmental sensors.
• Develop robotic applications that combine autonomous navigation with manipulation tasks.

Required qualifications

• At least 5 years of professional experience in robotics, autonomous systems, automation, or related engineering fields.
• Strong hands-on engineering mindset.
• Experience implementing, commissioning, or supporting robotic or automation solutions in real-world environments.
• Solid understanding of autonomous navigation, localization, mapping, and motion planning for mobile robotic systems.
• Experience working with multi-sensor perception systems including LiDAR, cameras, depth sensors, and sensor fusion techniques.
• Understanding of robotic manipulation and the challenges arising from variable robot positioning and dynamic environments.
• Experience with Python, ROS/ROS 2, robotics software frameworks, PLCs, vision systems, or related technologies.
• Comfortable working independently and making technical decisions in dynamic customer situations.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills.
• Ability to rapidly adapt to changing project requirements and customer needs.
• Willingness to travel extensively (up to 50–70% depending on project phase), including occasional short-notice customer engagements.
