Robotics Software Engineer – Construction Site Robots
Build the digital brain for autonomous machines that work on real construction sites.
What you will do
Develop core robotics software for motion planning, perception, and control.
Turn messy, real‑world site conditions into reliable, repeatable robot behavior.
Work across modules such as localization, mapping, task execution, and safety logic.
Ship code that runs on real hardware and is exercised on active construction projects.
Collaborate closely with hardware and field teams to close the loop between lab and site.
What you bring
2–5 years of industry experience in robotics software or adjacent fields.
Solid programming skills in C++ and/or Python in a modern tooling stack.
Experience with at least one robotics framework (e.g. ROS/ROS 2 or similar).
Comfortable working with real robots: logs, debugging tools, and on‑site testing.
Ability to break down complex problems into simple, robust solutions.
Nice to have
Background in motion planning, control, or computer vision.
Experience with field robots, mobile manipulators, or industrial automation.
Familiarity with real‑time constraints, safety concepts, or distributed systems.
How we work
We are an in‑person team in Munich, building:
modular autonomous machines,
tightly integrated hardware–software systems,
with short cycles between idea, prototype, and on‑site validation.
You will see your code leave the terminal and drive real change on construction sites.
