Senior Robotics System Engineer

Your mission & challenges

We are looking for a senior engineer to take end-to-end ownership of the real-time software stack that drives our next-generation collaborative robots. You will define the architecture, ensure functional safety, and build the high-performance interfaces that connect motion control algorithms to hardware.

* System Architecture: Define and own the core real-time software architecture for our cobot platforms, ensuring deterministic performance, safety compliance, and scalability.

* Functional Safety: Integrate and validate functional safety mechanisms across hardware and software; support certification according to relevant standards.

* Motion Interfaces: Develop and maintain the low-latency interfaces between application software, motion control algorithms, and sensor/motor hardware.

* High-Performance C++: Design and optimize concurrent, low-latency C++ systems; profile, benchmark, and enforce high standards for code quality.

* Technical Leadership: Mentor engineers, establish best practices, and support strong CI/CD and documentation processes.

What we can look forward to

* 5+ years of professional experience designing, architecting, and delivering real-time or safety-critical software systems.

* Master's degree (M.Sc.) in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related quantitative field.

* Proven track record of designing and delivering complex robotics or embedded systems software.

* Demonstrated technical leadership experience, including mentoring engineers and establishing best practices.

* Excellent communication and ability to lead technically across teams.

Core Real-Time Software & Concurrency

* Expert-level modern C++ (C++17/20) in real-time and resource-constrained environments.

* Deep experience with multithreading, synchronization, lock-free or low-contention designs, and deterministic concurrency.

* Strong background in real-time OS tuning, kernel-level performance work, or custom RTOS behavior.

* Proficiency with ROS2 and DDS-based communication.

Motion Control & System Integration

* Solid understanding of kinematics, control theory, and dynamic systems.

* Experience building software layers that connect motion control algorithms with live hardware state.

* Familiarity with real-time motion planning infrastructures (e.g., QP-based solvers).

Functional Safety & Industrial Standards

* Hands-on experience with safety fieldbus technologies such as FSoE or equivalent.

* Practical knowledge of relevant robotics standards:

* ISO 13849 (PL, architecture, documentation)

* ISO 10218-2025 (industrial & collaborative robot safety)

* Strong skills with EtherCAT (CoE, distributed clocks) and industrial networking.
