Mid-Senior Robotics Engineer

We are developing self-learning robotic systems that autonomously learn from human data. We are seeking an entrepreneurial Mid-Senior Robotics Engineer to join our team to develop the core robotics software stack and continuously work with real robots.

The successful candidate will be responsible for:

• Developing motion planning algorithms for industrial robots and mobile robots such as RRT*, RRT Connect, CHOMP, Diffusion Models base planners, etc.

• Developing motion control algorithms for industrial robots, mobile robots, and humanoids such as MPC, iLQR, etc.

• Implementing support for novel industrial applications such as bin picking, material handling, welding, etc.

• Adding support for new industrial robot brands such as Denso, Kawasaki, etc.

• Supporting the development of the cloud simulator including collision checking, reachability analysis, motion logs, environment editor, physics simulation, etc.

• Traveling across Germany with the startup team to test the developed technology on industry partners’ sites and iteratively improve the software based on user feedback.
  

Additionally, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to:

• Assist in developing the computer vision stack using deep learning frameworks.

• Train advanced machine learning models and benchmark the solutions.

Position details

• Full-time position on-site at our Frankfurt, Germany, headquarters.
