Zusammenfassung

Flexion Robotics is seeking an exceptional engineer to shape developer tooling for humanoid robot platforms. You’ll own SDKs, APIs, CLI tools, GUIs, and integration frameworks, working at the intersection of infrastructure and customer onboarding.

You’ll travel to customer sites across Europe (up to 15%), collaborate with external developer communities, and translate real-world feedback into a tooling roadmap that accelerates deployments and production readiness.

Qualifikationen

• Experience building developer tools for hardware platforms.
• Strong communication and documentation skills.
• Willingness to travel to customer sites up to 15%.

Aufgaben

• Define what great developer experience looks like for engineers working with humanoid robots.
• Own the product roadmap for developer tooling – SDKs, APIs, CLI tools, GUIs, diagnostics, and integration frameworks.
• Work with customer engineering teams to understand integration workflows and pain points; travel to customer sites regularly.
• Run integrations, reproduce bugs, and validate tooling in real-world conditions.
• Define tooling release requirements with infrastructure and testing teams; maintain feedback loop.

Jobbeschreibung

About Flexion:

At Flexion, we’re building the intelligence layer powering the next generation of humanoid robots. Our mission is to accelerate the transition from fragile prototypes to real‑world deployment of humanoids. We are founded by leading scientists in robot reinforcement learning (ex-Nvidia, ex-ETH Zürich) and backed by leading international VC firms. Within a few months, we’ve gone from our first line of code to deploying real humanoid capabilities with our partners.

The Role:

We are looking for an exceptional engineer whose interest goes beyond writing code to caring about taste: what feels intuitive, what’s worth building versus skipping, and what the right abstraction looks like when there’s no existing playbook to copy.

You’ll join the product team, sitting at the intersection of our infrastructure engineering team and our customers, owning the tools and interfaces developers use to bring Flexion’s AI software onto new robot platforms. You’ll spend real time in our testing space with robots, travel to customer sites to understand integration pain points firsthand, and translate that into a tooling roadmap that accelerates every deployment.

Your scope covers the full lifecycle: from the initial onboarding of a new customer robot, through the integration phase, and then to production and maintenance tooling.

Responsibilities:

• Define what “great developer experience” looks like for engineers working with humanoid robots - a category where the playbook is still being written
• Own the product roadmap for Flexion’s developer tooling - SDKs, APIs, CLI tools, GUIs, diagnostics, and integration frameworks.
• Work directly with customer engineering teams to deeply understand their integration workflows, hardware constraints, and pain points. Travel to customer sites regularly.
• Get hands-on with robots. Run integrations yourself, reproduce bugs, and validate that tooling works in real-world conditions.
• Define requirements and acceptance criteria for tooling releases, working closely with Flexion’s infrastructure and testing teams. Maintain a tight feedback loop between what ships and what customers actually need.
• Drive the release of developer-facing tools, including documentation, versioning, and changelog communication to customers.
• Monitor adoption and usage patterns across customers, using both quantitative signals and qualitative feedback to prioritise the backlog.
• Establish and maintain developer documentation, tutorials, and reference architectures that enable customer teams to self-serve wherever possible.
• Product management experience on developer-facing products (SDKs, APIs, developer platforms, or embedded tooling).
• Strong technical foundation — you can read and navigate a C++ codebase and hold your own in architecture discussions.
• Experience working with external developer communities or B2B technical customers, ideally in a context where you had to support integration into third-party hardware or platforms.
• Excellent written and verbal communication — you can write a clear API spec, a concise partner update, and a compelling roadmap narrative.
• Comfortable operating in an early-stage, fast-moving environment where scope is broad and ambiguity is the norm.
• Willingness to travel to customer sites across Europe and beyond (up to 15%).

Nice to have:

• Experience in robotics, control theory, motion planning, computer vision, AI/ML pipelines
• Hands-on comfort with hardware. You’ve worked with robots, embedded systems, or other physical products where software meets the real world.
• Competitive compensation
• Enhanced pension plan
• Enhanced holiday & paid leave perks
• Relocation & permit sponsorship
• Central Zürich office with top-tier robotics testing facilities and infrastructure
• Joining Europe’s leading robotics team & exposure to never-done-before research
• Energetic, collaborative culture with a bias for action and regular community events
