ABOUT THE ROLE
This is a foundational engineering role at an early-stage industrial robotics startup in Munich, building intelligent robotic work cells designed to automate the most demanding manual tasks in industry — surface finishing, welding, and coating. You'll own the core robotics software stack end-to-end, from motion planning through real-world deployment, and have a direct hand in shaping the architecture of a physical product that operates in live production environments.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Own and evolve the full robotics software stack for an industrial robotic work cell.
- Develop and optimise motion planning, trajectory generation, and closed-loop control algorithms.
- Integrate perception hardware — cameras, force/torque sensors, LiDAR — into real-time control loops.
- Design and implement industrial safety concepts and fail-safe behaviours.
- Lead on-site testing, calibration, and commissioning of robot systems.
- Drive architecture decisions and establish strong engineering practices across the team.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- 5+ years of hands-on robotics engineering experience with real robot hardware (e.g. industrial or collaborative arms).
- Strong foundations in kinematics, dynamics, motion planning, and control theory applied to physical systems — not simulation-only.
- Production-environment experience with motion planning and trajectory generation for industrial robot arms.
- Proficiency in C++ and/or Python; comfortable working at the systems level.
- Experience with ROS 2 and industrial communication protocols such as EtherCAT or OPC-UA is a strong plus.
- Proficiency in 3D CAD tools (e.g. SolidWorks or CATIA).
- Background in surface finishing, welding, coating, or related industrial processes is a meaningful advantage.
- Must be eligible to work in Germany without visa sponsorship.
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
Estimated cash compensation of €75,000 – €110,000 annually, plus meaningful equity participation. Visa sponsorship is not available — candidates must already have the right to work in Germany.
LOCATION
On-site in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. Remote or hybrid arrangements are not available for this role.
