About the Role
As an Application Engineer, you turn robotic technology into working customer solutions. You will program, integrate and commission robot applications, and act as the technical link between customers, project management and sales.
Location: Riederich, Germany (on-site)
Employment type: Full-time
Travel: 10–20% to customer sites
Key Responsibilities
Design and implement robotics and automation solutions based on customer requirements, such as pick and place, machine tending, assembly, palletizing and screwing
Program robots and automation logic in Python, C++, PLC and robot-specific languages, and maintain the application software and scripts
Integrate robots with grippers, sensors, cameras, PLCs, conveyors and other peripherals via digital I/O and industrial networks
Commission, test and troubleshoot systems in our lab and at customer sites
Read electrical schematics, wiring diagrams and datasheets, and check wiring, power supplies and I/O signals during setup
Support feasibility studies, proofs of concept, demos, and cycle-time and layout estimates
Write application notes, manuals and training material, and train customers on the applications you deliver
Required Qualifications

What We Do
NEURA Robotics is a German high-tech company founded in 2019 in Metzingen near Stuttgart with the vision to revolutionize the world of robotics. More than 180 team members from over 30 countries are working on advanced technologies in the fields of environmental perception, drive and control technology, material science, mechanical design, and artificial intelligence. We are expanding the cognitive capabilities of robots and make breakthrough advances in a variety of areas to bring robots and humans closer together, making many areas of work more attractive, creative, and social again. That's why everything we do runs under the guiding principle "we serve humanity". In a very short period of time, NEURA Robotics has developed robots and technologies that are characterized above all by their outstanding performance as well as safe and human-centred way of working. In this way, a wide variety of application fields can be covered, from intelligent production to medical technology. All major robot components are developed and designed in-house.
