Senior Robotics Engineer (F/M/D)
The Opportunity
We're growing our robotics team and hiring for two closely related specializations: low-level control for mobile manipulators, and navigation/mobile manipulation. Both roles are deeply hands-on, close to real hardware, and central to getting our mobile manipulators from prototype toward general deployment. This is a role for someone who has spent their career close to actual robots in production.
The position offers the opportunity to solve complex challenges, working closely with hardware, product, and research teams. You’ll help define technical roadmaps, influence architecture decisions, and drive engineering best practices.
Your Responsibilities
- Own critical parts of the robotics stack — extending our existing robotic arm control stack to new hardware and sensor configurations, and building out the systems (control or navigation) that let our mobile manipulators operate reliably in real deployment environments
- Apply rigorous, math-first approaches to hard robotics problems — whether that's predictive and optimization-based control, or classical algorithms for SLAM, localization, path planning, and obstacle avoidance
- Deploy vision, control, and navigation systems on real mobile robotic platforms in production, not just simulation
- Write real-time C++ that runs on physical hardware
- Collaborate closely with the wider robotics team as control, navigation, and manipulation systems come together into a working platform
- Push our mobile manipulators from prototype toward general, production-grade deployment
- Take on problems outside your core specialism as needed — scope shifts as the team grows
Technologies
- C++ (real-time, production), Python where relevant
- ROS2
- Classical SLAM, localization, and mapping frameworks
- Computer vision and path planning for robotic platforms
- MoveIt or equivalent motion planning frameworks
- Predictive / optimization-based control frameworks
- Robot kinematics and dynamics tooling
Must Have
- Master’s or PhD in a relevant program
- 7+ years of experience developing software for robotic systems
- Advanced, real-time C++: proven experience writing production code that runs on physical hardware
- ROS2 proficiency in a production environment
- Strong fundamentals in control theory and robot kinematics, and/or deep classical algorithm expertise
- Strong theoretical control background with hands-on predictive/optimization-based control experience, and/or experience deploying vision, SLAM, or localization systems on real mobile robotic platforms
- Motion planning experience (MoveIt or equivalent), and/or a strong preference for deterministic, classical approaches over neural/ML-first solutions where reliability matters
- Strong problem-solving instincts, especially under pressure
Nice to Have
- Experience with wireless operation or robot-to-robot communication
- Competitive compensation package
- Various employee subsidies and perks, including public transportation and Wellpass
- Work with a world-class team in a flat hierarchy, with direct collaboration alongside the founders and engineering team
- Opportunity to make a real impact by working on cutting-edge robotics and AI systems
- Fast growth potential in a rapidly evolving company and industry
- International office environment with English as the official working language
