Senior Robotic Systems Engineer
About the Role
This is a foundational engineering role at an early-stage industrial robotics startup in Munich, where you will own the core robotics software stack end-to-end. The team is small and ambitious, building a fully flexible, intelligent robotic work cell for demanding real-world tasks such as surface finishing, welding, and coating. Your work will directly shape the architecture and direction of the product.
What You'll Do
Own and evolve the core robotics software stack for an industrial robotic work cell.
Develop and optimize motion planning, trajectory generation, and control algorithms.
Integrate perception systems, including cameras, force/torque sensors, and LiDAR, into real-time control loops.
Implement industrial safety concepts and fail-safe behaviors.
Lead on-site testing, calibration, and commissioning of the robotic system.
Drive architecture decisions and establish engineering best practices across the team.
What We're Looking For
5 or more years of robotics engineering experience working with real robot hardware, not simulation only.
