At the heart of product innovation and development, our Systems Engineering Department transforms market demands into safe, certifiable, and competitive solutions and architectures. By collaborating closely with software, hardware, safety, and certification teams, we ensure every product meets the highest standards while adapting to fast-evolving market needs. Our mission is to enable seamless human-robot collaboration and deliver solutions that are safe, compliant, and ready for the future. Join us to shape the next generation of human-robot systems by owning system-level requirements, integration, and alignment, with architectural responsibilities as needed. If you thrive in cross-functional teamwork and technical excellence, you’ll find extraordinary opportunities with us.
Fleet Orchestration Engineer - Neuraverse (human)
Neura Robotics • Riederich
Shape the Future of Human-Robot Collaboration
-
Full-time
Riederich
-
Multi-robot task allocation algorithms: auction-based (CBBA, market-based), MILP solvers for offline planning, Hungarian for simple bipartite matching, robot-capability matching, deadline-aware scheduling, priority queuing
-
Mission decomposition: facility-level goal ("deliver 50 trays from kitchen to floor 3 by 18:00") → per-robot behaviour-tree skill bundles + cross-robot dependency graph + handoff point definitions
-
Fleet traffic management beyond static geofencing: dynamic corridor allocation, intersection arbitration, shared resource pools (charging docks, narrow passages, elevators, doors), preemption rules
-
Cooperative-task primitives: synchronised place-pick handoffs (Robot A places, Robot B picks at coordinated time), coordinated bimanual across two physical robots holding the same object, leader/follower formations, multi-robot peg-in-hole
-
Fleet-level performance management: throughput dashboards, robot utilisation balancing, SLA tracking, predictive task rerouting when one robot slows down
-
VDA 5050 master mode: NEURA fleet orchestrator dispatches to NEURA + third-party robots in NEURA-managed humanoid/service facilities (hospitality, healthcare, mixed-fleet demos)
-
VDA 5050 client interop testing: confirm NEURA robots integrate cleanly with third-party fleet management systems (Open-RMF, Otto, MiR, Symovo) for industrial deployments — protocol layer owned by Robot Connectivity Engineer
-
Expose atomic skill primitives (MoveArmTo, Grasp, Release, Insert, etc.) as typed NodeGraph nodes — co-reviewed with platform Motion Planning Engineers
-
Skill primitive API surface design: port schemas, error types, pre/postcondition contracts for third-party developers
-
Pre-deployment behaviour-tree simulation in the Cognitive Twin: simulating full skill trees before on-robot deployment — Digital Twin & Multi-Sim Engineer provides the simulation infrastructure
-
NodeGraph node templates for cooperative-task primitives (the orchestrator's execution vocabulary)
-
Multi-robot systems background as the primary axis — has shipped task allocation, fleet coordination, or multi-robot orchestration in production. Looks like Open-RMF contributors, AMR fleet engineers (Locus Robotics, Otto Motors, MiR fleet, Symbotic, Geek+, Boston Dynamics Spot coordinator), or industrial automation FMS engineers (Dematic, Vanderlande, Swisslog)
-
Multi-robot task allocation algorithm fluency: auction-based, MILP, Hungarian, market-based; understanding of NP-hardness and approximation trade-offs in MRTA problems
-
Distributed systems engineering: consensus, leader election, eventual consistency, fault recovery — the orchestrator is a distributed system at heart
-
VDA 5050 (v2.0+) protocol-level fluency: order, instantAction, state, visualization messages; master and client mode
-
BehaviorTree.CPP v4 and Groot2 proficiency for the NodeGraph SDK side of the role
-
Python and C++; comfort with optimisation libraries (OR-tools, Gurobi, CPLEX) for algorithm prototyping
-
Academic background in multi-robot systems: RSS/ICRA/IROS publications in MRTA, multi-robot motion planning, swarm robotics, or fleet coordination
-
Open-RMF maintainer or significant contributor — fleet_adapter authoring, dispatcher implementation, RMF Demos
-
Cooperative manipulation experience: bimanual across two physical robots, multi-robot assembly, leader/follower
-
Per-customer FMS adapter experience: writing integrations to plug NEURA robots into existing third-party fleet managers (Otto, MiR, Locus, Symovo)
-
Motion planning familiarity (MoveIt2, OMPL, or equivalent) sufficient to evaluate planner behaviour in pre-deployment simulation
-
Formal verification or model checking for behaviour tree skill trees
-
ROS 2 (Jazzy or Humble) — useful for ROS 2-based fleet tooling integration, but not a prerequisite for this role; multi-robot systems expertise and distributed systems depth matter more
