Core Robotics Engineer

We are a rapidly growing embodied AI company revolutionizing human labor. Leveraging cutting-edge robotics and advanced artificial intelligence, we develop transformative technologies that redefine how work is done across multiple industries—empowering businesses to streamline operations, boost productivity, and unlock new possibilities.

We're looking for a talented Core Robotics Engineer to develop, implement, and refine the software and control systems that power our mobile manipulators and automation platforms. In this role, you'll design and build the perception, planning, and control stacks that enable precise and efficient manipulation in dynamic, real-world environments, working with middleware platforms like ROS 2 for real-time communication and modularity. You'll collaborate closely with hardware and multidisciplinary engineering teams to ensure seamless integration of software and hardware, pushing the boundaries of what our robots can achieve. This role will work closely with our teams in Germany to ensure core product scalability.
