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

The role

You will implement, validate, and optimize autonomous mobile service robot solutions in real-world environments. You act as a technical interface between customers, sales, and engineering to drive product maturity and customer success.

What you will do

• Take responsibility for and successfully implement customer proof-of-concept projects
• Develop, configure, and implement autonomous mobile robot solutions for specific customer use cases
• Demonstrate the value of NEURA Robotics technologies through hands-on implementation
• Act as a technical interface between customers, sales, and engineering
• Translate customer feedback from real-world use into concrete product improvements
• Identify new automation potential and future use cases for autonomous mobile service robots
• Configure and optimize autonomous navigation in dynamic and unstructured environments
• Analyze and adapt localization, mapping, path planning, and obstacle avoidance
• Optimize multi-sensor perception systems with LiDAR, RGB/RGB-D cameras, IMUs, and other sensors
• Develop applications combining autonomous navigation with manipulation tasks

Required qualifications

• At least 5 years of professional experience in robotics, autonomous systems, automation, or comparable engineering fields
• Hands-on engineering mindset
• Experience in implementation, commissioning, or support of robotics or automation solutions in real environments
• Sound understanding of autonomous navigation, localization, mapping, and motion planning for mobile robot systems
• Experience with multi-sensor perception systems, including LiDAR, cameras, depth sensors, and sensor fusion
• Understanding of robotics manipulation and challenges from variable robot positions and dynamic environments
• Experience with Python, ROS/ROS 2, robotics frameworks, PLCs, vision systems, or comparable technologies
• Ability to work independently and make technical decisions in dynamic customer situations
• Very good communication and presentation skills
• Ability to adapt quickly to changing requirements and customer needs
• High willingness to travel (up to 50–70% depending on project phase)
