Job summary

Jungheinrich Robotics in Munich is seeking a robotics perception engineer to develop and improve perception models for autonomous mobile robots, covering object detection, obstacle classification, and free-space estimation.

You will scale automated labeling, use fleet data, and close the sim2real gap through synthetic data and simulation-based evaluation, while deploying models in our ROS-based software stack on real vehicles.

Qualifications

• 2–5 years of professional hands-on robotics perception or ML experience.
• Strong Python skills; C++ is a plus.
• Hands-on experience training neural networks (PyTorch) and data-centric model improvement.
• Experience with synthetic data, simulation-based ML, auto-labeling, or domain adaptation.
• Familiarity with ROS and Linux development environments.
• Rigorous evaluation mindset and ability to measure real-world performance.

Responsibilities

• Develop and improve perception models for autonomous robots (object detection, obstacle classification, free-space estimation).
• Scale automated labeling and leverage fleet data to close the sim2real gap via synthetic data and simulation-based evaluation.
• Define benchmarks, track metrics, and drive real-world and benchmark improvements.
• Deploy and validate models within our ROS-based robot software stack on real vehicles.
• Collaborate with navigation, controls, and fleet software teams to deliver robust perception capabilities.

Job description

• You develop and improve perception models for autonomous mobile robots, including object detection, obstacle classification, and free-space estimation
• You drive data-centric machine learning by scaling automated labeling, leveraging fleet data, and closing the sim2real gap through synthetic data and simulation-based evaluation
• You own model performance by defining benchmarks, tracking key metrics, and continuously improving real-world and benchmark results
• You deploy and validate perception models within our ROS-based robot software stack, ensuring reliable performance on real vehicles
• You collaborate closely with navigation, controls, and fleet software teams to deliver robust perception capabilities that enable autonomous operation

Requirements

• You bring 2–5 years of professional and hands-on experience in robotics perception, computer vision, or machine learning
• You have strong Python skills; experience with C++ is a plus
• You have hands-on experience training and evaluating neural networks (PyTorch or similar) and follow a data-centric approach to improving model performance
• You have practical experience with synthetic data, simulation for ML, auto-labeling, active learning, or domain adaptation
• You apply a rigorous approach to model evaluation and understand how to measure real-world performance effectively
• You are familiar with ROS and Linux-based development environments
• You have a pragmatic engineering mindset and enjoy shipping, measuring, and iterating

What we have to offer

• Cutting-edge technology: As pioneers in robotics we are able to navigate and manipulate without rails and guides and offer solutions to processes that no one could automate ever before!
• Team: We are an international team with more than 25 nationalities. You’ll work in a team with exceptionally smart, humble, collaborative and hardworking individuals.
• Culture: Come as you are! Join a vibrant, inventive, and diverse team that values collaboration over hierarchy. To innovate you need to fail from time to time — we always learn and improve.
• Workplace: Our office is located near the S‑Bahn station “Hirschgarten”. We work in a loft-style office with great equipment, our own workshop and testing area.
• Full Board: You don’t feel like thinking about what you want to have for lunch tomorrow, not to mention preparing it? Luckily, our french cook treats us with a freshly cooked free lunch everyday! And as the cherry on top, there is a packed fridge with drinks, fresh fruits and of course coffee!
• Flexibility: Flexibility is a top priority for us. Our hybrid working model for positions where presence is dispensable helps to achieve a healthy work-life balance.
• Benefits: We offer attractive holiday, Wellpass, health care, and compensation packages. Learn more about our current benefits here.
