At the forefront of humanoid robotics, our Systems Engineering team is responsible for turning the vision of the 4NE1 Humanoid robot into a robust, scalable, and commercially successful product.
We bridge the gap between product strategy and technical execution by translating customer, market, and business needs into system-level requirements, architectures, and validation strategies. Working across mechanical design, electronics, controls, AI, perception, embedded software, and safety teams, you will ensure that 4NE1 functions as a cohesive robotic system capable of operating safely and effectively alongside humans.
Your work will span everything from requirements engineering and architecture definition to system integration, verification, and deployment, helping bring next-generation humanoid robots from prototype to production.
If you are passionate about complex robotic systems and enjoy solving challenges at the intersection of hardware and software, we offer a unique opportunity to shape the future of humanoid robotics.
The Bridge: Drive the development of the 4NE1 humanoid platform by translating customer, product, and business requirements into structured, traceable system requirements. Contribute to the definition of system architecture and ensure alignment between functional objectives and technical implementation.
Collaborate and Align: Define system boundaries, interfaces, and subsystem responsibilities across robotics software, perception, manipulation, locomotion, controls, embedded systems, electronics, and mechanical engineering teams. Ensure seamless interaction between all components of the humanoid platform. Ability to understand and reason about interactions between locomotion, manipulation, perception, power systems, embedded software, and AI at a complete robot level.
Drive Integration: Lead system-level integration and validation activities for complex humanoid capabilities such as locomotion, manipulation, human-robot interaction, autonomy, and safety functions. Define verification methods, acceptance criteria, and validation strategies.
Own System Scope: Establish and maintain key systems engineering artifacts, including requirements specs, architecture, interface definitions and traceability documentation. Contribute to technical reviews, design reviews, architecture reviews, and product lifecycle milestones
End-to-End Execution: Support system integration from early prototypes through production-ready humanoid robots. Analyze system-level performance, identify cross-functional issues, coordinate root cause investigations, and drive resolution across multiple engineering disciplines. Experience in supporting deployment of robotic systems in customer-facing or production environments.
Education: MSc or PhD in Robotics, Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related discipline. 3+ years of experience is a plus

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.
