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
