Job Description

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Design, build, and scale automated CI/CD pipelines tailored for safe Over-The-Air (OTA) software and firmware rollouts to robots in the field.
• Containerize and optimize complex AI workloads and ROS2 environments using Docker for deployment on edge hardware (NVIDIA Jetson platforms).
• Configure and maintain lightweight container orchestration (K3s/Kubernetes) adapted for resource-constrained edge servers and local lab infrastructure.
• Establish automated, resilient data-ingestion pipelines to stream high-density field data updates back to local servers.
• Support the simulation infrastructure, ensuring a smooth automated data pipeline

What You Will Need

• 3–5 years of hands-on DevOps/MLOps engineering experience within Linux-heavy environments.
• Proven experience building automated deployment loops and handling container production environments (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Familiarity with edge computing challenges, embedded hardware interfaces, or network data streaming protocols (MQTT, gRPC).
• Strong scripting and automation capabilities (Python, Bash).
• Fluency in both Greek and English
• High autonomy and a problem-solving mindset — able to translate the infrastructure needs of diverse engineers into robust automated systems.

NICE TO HAVE

• Direct experience with NVIDIA Jetson platforms
• Background or strong personal interest in robotics systems or physical AI technologies.

What Is There For You

• Compensation: upper-quartile for the Greek market;
• Ownership: Full accountability over the Robotics division's DevOps and Edge MLOps infrastructure — you define the automation standards;
• Remote: Flexible format: fully remote, or hybrid from our Athens office;
• AI-Native Environment: Real challenges across physical AI, edge servers, humanoid R&D, and advanced robotics deployment;
• Growth: Possibility to get training from the Robotics companies;
• Culture: Engineering-first, high autonomy, low bureaucracy — your infrastructure choices directly shape the fleet's execution capabilities.

Compensation Range: €50K - €65K
