Robotics Integration Engineer – Sensor Networks (human)
Neura Robotics • Riederich
Give Our Robots Consciousness
In the AI Department, you'll develop the cognitive abilities of our robots, enabling them to understand and interact with their surroundings. You'll work on algorithms that make machines intelligent and adaptive—ranging from object recognition and language processing to decision-making in complex environments. You'll be part of a team that pushes technological boundaries and collaborates closely with software, hardware, and product management teams. Using cutting-edge tools and methods from machine learning and AI, you'll work on projects that have a direct impact on our products. If you're excited about making machines smarter and shaping the future of human-machine interaction, the AI Department is the perfect place for you.
- Full-time
Riederich
You will become part of our AI Data Operations team and own the integration layer that connects robots, sensors, and training pipelines inside our NeuraGym environment. You will be responsible for building the sensor network infrastructure, communication protocols, and data synchronization and fusion mechanisms that turn raw multi-modal robot data into reliable, training-ready streams for embodied AI.
-
Robot & Sensor Integration: End-to-end integration of humanoid and collaborative robots as well as a wide range of sensors into the Gym — from cabling and mounting concepts to driver-level bring-up, calibration, and runtime health monitoring.
-
Sensor Network Infrastructure: Design and operation of high-throughput sensor network topologies based on VLAN segmentation, QoS policies, and deterministic uplink behavior for time-critical robot data.
-
Data Synchronization & Time Alignment: Development of precise time synchronization (PTP/NTP, hardware trigger lines) and cross-modal alignment strategies to guarantee temporally consistent multi-sensor episodes suitable for model training and evaluation.
-
Sensor Fusion: Design and integration of sensor fusion components that combine visual, inertial, and proprioceptive streams into coherent scene and robot state representations — as a foundation for downstream perception, annotation, and policy learning.
-
Diagnostics & Observability: Development of diagnostic tools, dashboards, and health checks for sensor links, time sync quality, packet loss, and stream integrity — enabling fast triage during recording sessions and long-term reliability tracking.
-
Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Work closely with AI, perception, robotics, and IT infrastructure teams to define integration requirements, support QA and annotation workflows, contribute to documentation, and support CI/CD for infrastructure and sensor components.
-
Excellent Master's, or PhD degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, or a related field
-
4+ years of relevant experience in at least one of the core areas: robotics/sensor integration, real-time networking, distributed data acquisition systems, or sensor fusion
-
Strong programming skills in Python and modern C++
-
Hands-on experience with robotics middleware and streaming frameworks such as ROS 2, DDS or Zenoh
-
Solid background in network engineering
-
Practical experience with time synchronization (PTP/IEEE 1588, NTP, hardware triggering) and multi-sensor time alignment
-
Experience deploying software on robotics hardware and edge devices (e.g. NVIDIA Jetson) is a plus
-
Excellent problem-solving skills
-
Very good written and spoken English; German is a plus
