Jobbeschreibung

We are seeking an experienced Robotics Solutions Architect to lead the architecture and technical development of advanced robotics, automation, and simulation solutions.

This is a senior technical role for someone who combines strong software engineering fundamentals with deep knowledge of robotics, modelling, control systems, and simulation. You will work across the full solution lifecycle—from early technical discovery and architecture through prototyping, validation, and production deployment.

You will play a key role in translating complex operational and engineering challenges into scalable technical solutions, working closely with engineering teams and stakeholders to determine the right technologies, architectures, and implementation approaches.

Key Responsibilities

• Define the architecture and technical direction for robotics and advanced automation solutions.
• Design solutions spanning robotics software, simulation, control systems, optimisation, sensing, and industrial automation.
• Lead modelling and optimisation of complex physical and cyber-physical systems.
• Develop and utilise digital twins to model, test, and improve real-world systems.
• Take concepts from technical discovery through rapid prototyping and into robust, production-ready implementations.
• Evaluate solutions in both simulated and physical environments.
• Provide technical leadership throughout design, development, integration, testing, and deployment.
• Develop approaches that improve automation, accuracy, reliability, and operational performance.
• Evaluate emerging technologies and determine their suitability for real-world applications.
• Contribute expertise across areas such as motion planning, control, sensing, estimation, decision-making, and system optimisation.
• Work collaboratively with multidisciplinary engineering teams and communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Experience & Technical Background

We are looking for someone with substantial commercial software engineering experience and a strong track record of delivering complex robotics or automation systems.

You should bring:

• Advanced programming skills in C++, Python, Julia, or comparable engineering languages.
• Significant experience in software development, ideally including system-level and/or real-time software.
• Strong knowledge of robotics system architecture and development.
• Experience modelling continuous, discrete, and event-driven systems.
• Practical experience with engineering modelling and simulation environments.
• Experience with physics-based robotics simulation platforms such as Gazebo, NVIDIA Isaac Sim, or comparable technologies.
• Strong understanding of numerical methods and algorithm design.
• Experience with concurrent, modular, or component-based software architectures.
• Knowledge of control systems, state estimation, and optimisation techniques.
• Experience working with linear and nonlinear systems.
• Strong Linux/Unix engineering experience.
• Understanding of distributed systems and distributed control architectures.
• Familiarity with modern software engineering practices, including automated testing, CI/CD, build management, deployment, observability, and system monitoring.

Experience with tools or environments such as MATLAB/Simulink, Modelica, Mathematica, Ansys, OpenFOAM, or equivalent engineering platforms would be advantageous.

What We're Looking For

Beyond technical depth, you will be comfortable operating at an architectural level while remaining close enough to engineering to guide implementation and solve difficult technical problems.

You will be able to assess complex requirements, identify technical trade-offs, make pragmatic architectural decisions, and communicate those decisions clearly.

You should enjoy working on technically challenging problems where software interacts directly with physical systems and where simulation, experimentation, and iterative development are central to delivering the right solution.
