Your mission & challenges
As an AI Robotics System Engineer, you will work within the central AI team to develop AI-based functions and applications for our entire robotics portfolio — ranging from the cognitive robot arm MAiRA, to the humanoid 4NE-1, and the service robot MiPA. Your scope of work covers all types of applications: customer projects, internal development projects, trade fair and demo setups, as well as exploratory prototypes.
- Develop and integrate AI-based functions across the robotics portfolio (robot arms, humanoids, service robots).
- Implement AI capabilities into end-to-end robotic systems, from design and prototyping to testing and validation on real hardware.
- Integrate sensors, actuators, ROS-based software, and AI models into reliable, production-ready systems.
- Collaborate closely with AI researchers to translate models and algorithms into practical robotic applications.
- Work with project managers, software engineers, and business partners to define requirements and scalable implementation paths.
- Support customer projects, demos, trade fairs, and exploratory prototypes.
- Assist users in NeuraGym with application setup, data collection, skill training, and hardware testing.
- Enable teams, partners, and customers to develop, validate, and independently operate AI-powered robotic systems.
- Apply expertise in C++, ROS, robotics, kinematics, motion and grasp planning, including classical and learning-based approaches.
What we can look forward to
- A degree in Robotics, Computer Science, or a related technical field
- At least three years of hands-on experience in developing robotic applications or robotic systems
- Very strong programming skills in C++ and/or Python, especially in object-oriented software development
- Solid experience with ROS (Robot Operating System) and working with real robotic platforms
- Ideally, several years of experience in machine learning for robotics, with strong expertise in at least one of the following areas:
- Visual manipulation
- Reinforcement / imitation learning
