Senior Robotic Systems Engineer

About the RoleThis is a foundational senior engineering hire at an early-stage industrial robotics startup in Munich. You will own the core robotics software stack end-to-end — from motion planning and control through to real-world deployment of an intelligent robotic work cell built for the hardest manual tasks in industry: surface finishing, welding, and coating.This is a high-ownership, hands-on role for someone who thrives on turning real hardware into reliable, production-grade systems. You'll shape architecture decisions from day one on a small, ambitious team pushing the boundaries of industrial automation.What You'll DoOwn and evolve the core robotics software stack of the work cellDevelop and optimize motion planning, trajectory generation, and control algorithms for industrial robot armsIntegrate perception systems — cameras, force/torque sensors, LiDAR — into real-time control loopsImplement industrial safety concepts and fail-safe behaviorsLead on-site testing, calibration, and commissioning activitiesDrive system architecture decisions and establish engineering best practicesWhat We're Looking ForRequired:5+ years of hands-on experience in robotics engineering, with a
