Software Engineer - Roboticist

We're looking for a Software/Robotics Engineer to join a project building a full robotics stack for an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle), working directly on-site with our client in Munich . This isn't a purely remote software role, we're seeking for someone comfortable across the full spectrum of robotics development: simulation, navigation, localization, behaviors, and tooling, while also getting hands-on with the physical robot in the field.

You'll work closely with the client's fleet manager, and depending on how the project evolves.

Your role and responsibilities:

• Contribute to the development of a full robotics stack, covering simulation, navigation, localization, robot behaviors, and internal tooling
• Perform testing and tuning of complex navigation systems directly on the AGV, on-site
• Work together with the client's fleet manager on the robot's perception stack
• Diagnose and resolve hardware, networking, and embedded electronics issues on the robot in real time
• Potential to manage a team and its resources as the project scales
• Participate in the design and implementation of solutions for challenging customer and R&D problems
• Travel for 1–2 week periods for on-site deployments when required
• Pass on your passion for technology and professionalism to your peers
• Be receptive and empathetic with your team and technical communities

If you:

• Are located in or willing to work on-site in the Munich area, 3 days/week from the start
• Have strong experience (+4 years) with ROS or ROS2
• Have strong experience (+5 years) coding in modern C++ (17+) and Python 3
• Have working knowledge of networking and electronics (important for the field-facing side of this role)
• Have experience with Docker / containerized applications
• Hold a degree (BSc, MSc, or PhD) in Computer Science, Engineering, Robotics, or a related field
• Have hands-on experience working with real robots (not just simulation)
• Can independently tackle mid-sized software development tasks across the stack
• Are comfortable in technical discussions and can propose solutions
• Have solid technical English, spoken and written

It'd be a plus if you:

• Have experience with robotics simulation (Gazebo, NVIDIA Omniverse, or similar)
• Have system administration experience
• Have contributed to open source projects
• Are an active member of a robotics/tech community or have done public speaking on technical topics
• Have a good level of Spanish

Join us to be part of a dynamic community where your skills and contributions truly matter!

Compensation: €51K – €80K

• Munich, Germany • €51K – €80K
