At the heart of product innovation and development, our Systems Engineering Department transforms market demands into safe, certifiable, and competitive solutions and architectures. By collaborating closely with software, hardware, safety, and certification teams, we ensure every product meets the highest standards while adapting to fast-evolving market needs. Our mission is to enable seamless human-robot collaboration and deliver solutions that are safe, compliant, and ready for the future. Join us to shape the next generation of human-robot systems by owning system-level requirements, integration, and alignment, with architectural responsibilities as needed. If you thrive in cross-functional teamwork and technical excellence, you’ll find extraordinary opportunities with us.
Your Mission & Challenges
Program Safety Logic: Develop, test, and troubleshoot safety-related control logic using PLC programming per IEC 61131-3 (Structured Text, Ladder Diagram, Function Block Diagram) on established automation platforms.
Integrate Safety Networks: Implement and commission safe fieldbus communication (e.g. FSoE over EtherCAT), together with I/O systems, sensors, actuators, and servo drives.
Apply Robotics Concepts: Apply kinematics, dynamics, and control theory in safety function computation (e.g. safe Cartesian speed/position monitoring, force/torque estimation, stopping distance).
Commission & Validate: Commission, debug, and validate machine safety functions in line with ISO 13849, ISO 10218-1/-2:2025, and IEC 61508, ensuring safety-critical software is properly verified.
Collaborate Across Teams: Work closely with hardware, software, and system teams on safety concepts and requirements, contributing analysis, troubleshooting, reviews, and clear safety documentation.

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.
