Senior Robotics Software Engineer - Generalist (m/f/d)

What we offer

• Work in an international, agile team creating the future of autonomous systems
• Grow your career in a expanding and ambitious engineering team
• Build innovative products using state-of-the-art technologies in AI, robotics, and autonomy
• Benefit from a steep learning curve and continuous development
• Enjoy team events and a strong, collaborative culture

Your mission

• Designing and implementing robust, real-time robotics software components
• Working with multi-modal sensor data, ensuring timing, synchronization, and frame correctness
• Developing and improving algorithms in areas such as estimation, perception, planning, control, or integration
• Ensuring deterministic behavior, reliability, and system-level stability
• Debugging and validating robotic systems during field tests, under real-world constraints
• Collaborating with a cross-functional team of robotics, embedded, and domain experts
• Maintaining high engineering standards: code reviews, CI, reproducible builds, documentation

Your profile

Technical Fundamentals :

• Strong proficiency in modern C++ (17/20)
• Experience with ROS/ ROS 2
• Solid foundation in algorithms, data structures, and numerical methods
• Experience developing software that runs on real robots, embedded systems, or hardware-in-the-loop setups
• Comfortable working with raw sensor data (timing, noise characteristics, transforms, calibration)
• Strong debugging skills: runtime issues, latency, performance bottlenecks, integration failures
• Ability to architect clean, modular, maintainable software systems

Robotics Foundation :

• Understanding of at least one robotics domain: state estimation, perception, tracking, planning, control, sensor fusion, or integration
• Ability to reason about real-time behavior, latency budgets, and reliability requirements
• End-to-end thinking: understanding how individual modules affect the whole system

Nice to have

• Python for tooling or prototyping
• Experience with robotics middleware or real-time systems
• Background in optimization, filtering, or physical modeling
• Experience with embedded platforms, GPUs, or simulation tools
• We hire for core engineering ability, everything else can be learned here.

What else

• Builder mentality: you ship working solutions, not theoretical concepts
• Hands-on ownership: you proactively solve problems, even outside your direct scope
• Field-driven mindset: you care about what survives real operations, not “lab perfect”
• High quality bar: you aim for reliability, determinism, and clarity in your engineering
• Startup drive: you execute fast despite ambiguity, and adapt quickly
• Mission alignment: genuine motivation to work on defense-relevant, safety-critical robotics
• Nationality of a NATO member nation or close ally is required
