Jobbeschreibung

We’re building the intellligence layer for robots.

At Telekinesis, we’re making a bold bet: that within a decade, robots will be as ubiquitous as smartphones. Not just in factories, in offices, hospitals, and homes. We’re creating the cloud platform that makes this possible, a no-code AI system that lets anyone program industrial robots, mobile units, drones, and humanoids without writing a single line of code.

Our secret weapon? Robots that learn autonomously. Powered by cutting-edge AI, our platform enables robots to autonomously improve with every interaction, getting smarter and more capable over time.

We started in automotive manufacturing, one of the toughest proving grounds imaginable, and we’re empowering factory workers with zero robotics experience to deploy and manage industrial robots. We’re solving problems most people think are impossible. And we’re just getting started.

This isn’t a job for someone looking for comfort. It’s for someone who thrives on chaos, wants to be in the room where it happens, and is ready to help build a category-defining company from the ground up.

The successful candidate will be responsible for:

• Core Software Architecture: Designing and maintaining high-performance, real-time software stacks in C++ and Python for advanced robotic manipulation
• Foundation Model Deployment: Implementing and optimizing Large Behavior Models (LBMs) and Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models to enable generalized robotic skills.
• Hardware Integration: Interfacing with a variety of robotic hardware, including multi-axis arms and end-effectors, via custom hardware abstraction layers.
• Motion Planning: Developing sophisticated motion planning algorithms in C++ that operate safely in unstructured, dynamic environments.
• System Optimization: Profiling and optimizing code for edge deployment, ensuring models run efficiently on local GPU-accelerated compute modules.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Working alongside AI researchers to translate cutting-edge robotics papers into production-ready features.

Desired skills

The candidate needs to meet the following basic qualifications:

• M.Sc. in Computer Science (or a similar field) with research experience in Computer Vision.
• 3+ years of industrial experience in Robotics
• Hands on experience working with real robots
• Exceptionally strong in both C++ and Python

These additional robotics qualifications will be helpful:

• Experience working with industrial robots such as UR, ABB, KUKA, Fanuc, Denso, etc.

What we offer

• A pivotal role in defining the vision of our AI-powered robotics software working directly with the CEO and CTO.
• The unique opportunity to be among the first 10 engineers at a fast-growing startup, with the freedom to build a category-defining product in AI from the ground up.
• A highly flexible and creative environment that encourages innovation and empowers you to bring your ideas to life.
• A vibrant office space located in central Frankfurt, with flexible working hours to support work-life balance.
• A dynamic, startup culture with a diverse international team, all driven by a shared passion for becoming global leaders in AI, robotics, computer vision, and software engineering.
