Senior Robotics Software Engineer

Permanent employee, Full-time · Luxembourg, Karlsruhe

Your mission
YOUR ROLE
As a Senior Robotics Software Engineer, your role will be to contribute to our core software product – automated battery disassembly lines. You will be actively involved in designing and running experiments in simulation and on the hardware, working directly with robots and sensors. We implement the first-of-its-kind smart robotics solution for battery disassembly, and you will be able to shape the product from its inception. 
This position is ideal for individuals who excel in coding skills but also like to see their work “moving not only bits but atoms” and making a real difference immediately.
 

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
You will report to our Head of Automation.
The scope of responsibility is, not limited to, detailed below:
  • Design and implement control algorithms and tools for smart disassembly automation, both proof-of-concepts and prototypes for experiments and production quality code for use in the customer-facing solution. Some tasks you will be working on include:
    • Task and path planning for a 7DoF Robot carrying bespoke end-effectors in a complex scene with many collisions.
    • Maintaining a precise digital twin simulation and implementing a calibration procedure to ensure simulation is in line with reality.
    • Implementation of closed-loop control algorithms in collaboration with our Perception team.
  • Work with different robots and IPCs of various brands and implement scalable hardware-agnostics methods.
  • When prototypes show feasibility, plan and execute the implementation with guaranteed quality – implementing the tests and documentation for reproducibility and reliability.
  • Navigate the trade-offs between tech complexity and getting things to work. 
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including mechanical and electrical engineers, ensuring seamless integration between hardware and software components.
  • Ensure software engineering best practices to the team, mentoring more junior members and grow into a leadership position.
  • Perform root cause analysis and demonstrate the necessary debugging skills when required.
  • Take ownership of your tasks end-to-end, collect necessary data, set up hardware experiments, test and integrate until the finished product.
Your profile
WHAT A GREAT FIT LOOKS LIKE
  • 5 years of experience in a similar field, including 3+ years' experience of developing production-grade robotics software in Python, C++, Rust or similar languages. 
  • Master's degree in computer science or another STEM field.
  • Solid understanding of the modern industrial automation and robotics stack – you know how to set up a ROS environment and are not afraid of PLC programming if necessary.
  • Strong mathematical background, linear algebra, and vector operations are a must. You need to know what a quaternion is. Ideally you have some experience with vision systems, but it is not a requirement.
  • Excellent organizational and communication skills, verbal and written communication in English. French and German are a plus.
  • Ability to work under pressure while juggling multiple tasks and adhering to tight deadlines.
  • Proven knowledge of Microsoft Office suite.
Why us?
  • High degree of collaboration and autonomy while working with a group of highly skilled, committed and supportive peers
  • Transparent culture with flat hierarchy where everyone of us is highly valued
  • Development of your professional skills and knowledge by taking ownership of challenging tasks and responsibilities, supported by Leads and peers
  • “Getting things done” attitude, and access to cutting edge technologies
  • A guaranteed steep continuous learning curve from day one
