Jobbeschreibung

About the role

As a Robotics Software Engineer at N Robotics, you’ll work at the core of our autonomy stack — designing and developing software that makes our robots move, perceive, and interact safely in the real world.

You’ll take ownership across the full software lifecycle: from concept and algorithm design to real-world deployment on our robotic platforms.
Your work will span motion planning, perception, sensor fusion, and navigation, integrating directly with our hardware and testing in the loop.

You’ll collaborate with a cross-functional team of mechanical, electrical, and systems engineers to create tightly integrated robotic solutions.This role is ideal for someone who wants to own code that runs on real robots, move fast in a hands-on environment, and help shape the foundations of a deep-tech robotics company from the inside out.

Tasks

• Design and develop advanced software for robotic control systems, including motion planning, perception, and navigation.
• Implement and optimize algorithms for real-time data processing, sensor fusion, and autonomous decision-making.
• Collaborate closely with hardware engineers to integrate software with robotic components, actuators, and sensors.
• Conduct system-level testing, debugging, and performance tuning to ensure robustness and reliability.
• Build and maintain ROS 2 nodes, APIs, and supporting software infrastructure.
• Develop tools for data capture, visualization, simulation, and CI/CD pipelines (simulation and hardware-in-the-loop).
• Stay current with emerging robotics technologies, frameworks, and software engineering practices.
  (Optional): Generate synthetic datasets and simulation scenarios in Isaac Sim / MuJoCo to enhance sim-to-real transfer performance.

Requirements

What you bring to the table

Technical must-haves

• Strong programming skills in Python, C, and C++, with at least 3 years of experience in ROS (1/2) and Linux environments.
• Solid understanding of robot kinematics, mathematical modeling, and controls theory.
• Experience with real-time data processing, sensor fusion, and autonomous control algorithms.
• Skilled in ROS 2 development, including custom nodes, hardware abstraction layers, and distributed architectures.
• Proficiency in perception and SLAM pipelines (OpenCV, PCL, Eigen, ORB-SLAM, VINS-Fusion, RTAB-Map) and sensor integration (LiDAR, IMU, cameras).
• Familiar with simulation and testing environments such as Isaac Sim, Gazebo, or MuJoCo.
• Commitment to software quality, including testing, and CI/CD workflows.
• Independent, hands-on problem solver with a high degree of initiative and responsibility.

Your mindset & working style

• You move fast, think like an owner, and get things done — even when the path isn’t mapped out.
• You thrive in startup chaos — you don’t wait for perfect specs; you build, test, learn, and iterate.
• You bring deep curiosity and the drive to push robotics beyond the expected.
• You write clean, reliable, and testable code — because autonomy depends on trust, not hacks.
• You care about interfaces, robustness, and results — and you take pride in shipping what actually works.
• You communicate openly, challenge ideas (including your own), and learn fast from real-world data.
• You’re here to solve hard problems, not to clock time — to grow with the team that’s redefining what robots can do.

Benefits

What you can expect

At N Robotics we pair high standards with heart:

• Real impact, fast: Your code runs on real robots - not months later, but as part of short, hands-on build-test cycles.
• Close collaboration: Work directly with founders and senior engineers in a low-bureaucracy, high-trust environment.
• Modern workspace in Berlin: Fully equipped lab and shop (3D printers, CNC mills, test rigs) plus quiet focus areas. Everything on site in Tempelhof.
• Growth we enable: Budget for courses & conferences, regular workshops, peer reviews and knowledge sharing.
• Healthy & human: Supportive, respectful team culture with regular team events and 30 days of vacation.
• Fair package: Competitive salary, great tools and the autonomy to shape how we build.

About us

We’re a Berlin deep-tech startup building mobile robots that move safely and reliably in the real world. Our core focus is legged mobility and robust, field-ready systems from prototype to production.
What matters to us: owning responsibility, striving for excellence, acting entrepreneurially, growing together and staying human. We work hands-on, fast and on-site in Berlin. Diversity is our standard, different perspectives make our product and our team stronger.

Diversity at N Robotics
Diverse teams build better robots. Even if you don’t meet every single bullet, we’d still like to hear from you—especially if you identify with underrepresented groups in tech.
