Robotics Software Engineer - Swarm Systems

• Work in an international, agile team creating the future of autonomous systems
• Grow your career in a expanding and ambitious engineering team
• Build innovative products using state-of-the-art technologies in AI, robotics, and autonomy
• Benefit from a steep learning curve and continuous development
• Enjoy team events and a strong, collaborative culture

Your missionBuild real autonomous systems that operate in the real world, not in the lab.Join our engineering team and help build the core autonomy that powers our next generation robotic systems used for defense and mission-critical operations. You will design, implement, and harden robotic software that must perform under real operational conditions : outdoors, under uncertainty, with real consequences. Your work will directly shape the reliability, safety, and tactical capability of the systems we deliver.You will contribute to the development and integration of core robotic capabilities, including:

• Designing and implementing robust, real-time robotics software components
• Working with multi-modal sensor data, ensuring timing, synchronization, and frame correctness
• Developing and improving algorithms in areas such as estimation, perception, planning, control, or integration
• Ensuring deterministic behavior, reliability, and system-level stability
• Debugging and validating robotic systems during field tests, under real-world constraints
• Collaborating with a cross-functional team of robotics, embedded, and domain experts
• Maintaining high engineering standards: code reviews, CI, reproducible builds, documentation

You will execute on real hardware and iterate based on operational performance, field results are the final metric.Your profileTechnical Fundamentals :Strong proficiency in modern C++ (17/20)Experience with ROS/ ROS 2Solid foundation in algorithms, data structures, and numerical methodsExperience developing software that runs on real robots, embedded systems, or hardware-in-the-loop setupsComfortable working with raw sensor data (timing, noise characteristics, transforms, calibration)Strong debugging skills: runtime issues, latency, performance bottlenecks, integration failuresAbility to architect clean, modular, maintainable software systemsRobotics Foundation :Understanding of at least one robotics domain: state estimation, perception, tracking, planning, control, sensor fusion, or integrationAbility to reason about real-time behavior, latency budgets, and reliability requirementsEnd-to-end thinking: understanding how individual modules affect the whole systemNice to have

• Python for tooling or prototyping
• Experience with robotics middleware or real-time systems
• Background in optimization, filtering, or physical modeling
• Experience with embedded platforms, GPUs, or simulation tools
• We hire for core engineering ability, everything else can be learned here.

solutions. Driven by cutting-edge innovation, our team works on next-generation technologies designed to meet rapidly evolving security challenges.What we do: We develop systems that enable computers and sensors to operate as coordinated teams, collaborating in real time to counter AI-powered asymmetric threats at scale - including drone swarms and other UXVs. Our mission is to build resilient, intelligent defence capabilities that perform reliably in the most demanding environments.How we work: We value close, in-person collaboration as the foundation for building complex, high-impact technology, while maintaining flexibility aligned to role and team needs. Our culture is built on ownership, responsibility, and trust - with a shared commitment to growing and building together.Where we are: Based in Munich, Berlin, and Toulouse, we are expanding rapidly across Europe with plans to open additional office hubs.
