Germany, Munich (HQ)
Full-time
Permanent employee

About the role

At Agile Robots SE, we are developing intelligent robotic systems and automation solutions. The complexity of such systems and the tasks, that have to be solved autonomously, increases rapidly. Therefore, professional frameworks and tools for programming robots efficiently are required.

In our innovative company, we build powerful software frameworks for orchestrating complex robotic systems to solve challenging tasks autonomously. These frameworks enable the configuration of systems, development of reusable skills, parameterization of processes, and reliable execution of tasks.

These software solutions are sold to various international customers to enable them to control their robotic workcells. Seamless integration and scalable deployment are at the core of our mission.

We are looking for a passionate Forward Deployed Engineer for Robotics to bridge cutting-edge robotics technology with real-world customer success. In this role, you will work directly with international customers to deploy, customize, and optimize advanced robotic automation solutions. You will become a trusted technical partner, translating customer challenges into scalable, production-ready robotics applications.

Your Responsibilities

  • Deploy, integrate, and commission complex robotic systems for industrial automation and mobile manipulation applications
  • Work closely with customers to understand technical requirements and translate them into robust software solutions
  • Customize and extend our robotic workcell automation framework by implementing customer-specific features, integrations, and workflows
  • Collaborate with AI, Computer Vision, and Robotics Engineers to deliver production-ready solutions
  • Diagnose, troubleshoot, and resolve software and system integration issues both remotely and on-site
  • Travel to international customer sites for workshops, deployments, training, and technical support (up to 40% travel)

Essential Skills

  • Master's degree in Robotics, Computer Science, AI, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
  • Strong problem-solving skills
  • Minimum of four years of professional experience
  • Experience with robotic hardware (robot arms, cameras, AGVs, grippers, sensors, or similar)
  • Intermediate programming skills in C++
  • 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

Beneficial Skills

  • 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 norms

What we offer

  • 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.
  • Challenging tasks and impactful projects alongside experts that enable professional and personal growth.
  • Corporate Benefits Program covering health, mobility, and learning for 100€ net per month.
  • Modern office facilities with a rooftop terrace overlooking Munich, free drinks & fruits, and regular company events contribute to a good working environment
