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.

Your mission & challenges

As an AI Robotics System Engineer, you will work within the central AI team to develop AI-based functions and applications for our entire robotics portfolio — ranging from the cognitive robot arm MAiRA, to the humanoid 4NE-1, and the service robot MiPA. Your scope of work covers all types of applications: customer projects, internal development projects, trade fair and demo setups, as well as exploratory prototypes.

Develop and integrate AI-based functions across the robotics portfolio (robot arms, humanoids, service robots);
Implement AI capabilities into end-to-end robotic systems, from design and prototyping to testing and validation on real hardware;
Integrate sensors, actuators, ROS-based software, and AI models into reliable, production-ready systems;
Collaborate closely with AI researchers to translate models and algorithms into practical robotic applications;
Work with project managers, software engineers, and business partners to define requirements and scalable implementation paths;
Support customer projects, demos, trade fairs, and exploratory prototypes;
Assist users in NeuraGym with application setup, data collection, skill training, and hardware testing;
Enable teams, partners, and customers to develop, validate, and independently operate AI-powered robotic systems;
Apply expertise in C++, ROS, robotics, kinematics, motion and grasp planning, including classical and learning-based approaches.
