• Intermediate programming skills in C++ and Python
• Practical experience integrating and programming robotic applications
• Experience working in Linux environments
• Willingness to learn new technologies and adapt quickly in customer environments
• Fluency in English

• Experience with machine learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow), modern AI models (e.g., SAM, YOLO, GraspNET), or Vision-Language(-Action) models
• Knowledge of control theory for robotics
• Experience with computer vision (e.g., OpenCV, PCL)
• Experience deploying and optimizing robotics applications on NVIDIA embedded platforms (e.g., Jetson Orin, AGX, Xavier)
• Programming experience in Python
• Familiarity with PLC programming
• Practical experience with CAD software
• Knowledge of industrial communication protocols (e.g., EtherCAT, CAN, OPC UA, Modbus)
• Knowledge of functional safety standards

• A dynamic high-tech company, combined with financial soundness and world-class investors.
• Join an interdisciplinary, international team with 60+ different nationalities in a collaborative work environment.
• Lots of development opportunities as we continue to grow.
