Descripción del empleo

What we offer

• Work in an international, agile team creating the future of autonomous systems
• Grow your career in a expanding and ambitious engineering team
• Build innovative products using state-of-the-art technologies in AI, robotics, and autonomy
• Benefit from a steep learning curve and continuous development
• Enjoy team events and a strong, collaborative culture

Your mission

Build real autonomous systems that operate in the real world, not in the lab.

Join our engineering team and help build the core autonomy that powers our next generation robotic systems used for defense and mission-critical operations. You will design, implement, and harden robotic software that must perform under real operational conditions : outdoors, under uncertainty, with real consequences. Your work will directly shape the reliability, safety, and tactical capability of the systems we deliver.

You will contribute to the development and integration of core robotic capabilities, including:

• Designing and implementing robust, real-time robotics software components
• Working with multi-modal sensor data, ensuring timing, synchronization, and frame correctness
• Developing and improving algorithms in areas such as estimation, perception, planning, control, or integration
• Ensuring deterministic behavior, reliability, and system-level stability
• Debugging and validating robotic systems during field tests, under real-world constraints
• Collaborating with a cross-functional team of robotics, embedded, and domain experts
• Maintaining high engineering standards: code reviews, CI, reproducible builds, documentation

You will execute on real hardware and iterate based on operational performance, field results are the final metric.

Your profile

Technical Fundamentals :

• Strong proficiency in modern C++ (17/20)
• Experience with ROS/ ROS 2
• Solid foundation in algorithms, data structures, and numerical methods
• Experience developing software that runs on real robots, embedded systems, or hardware-in-the-loop setups
• Comfortable working with raw sensor data (timing, noise characteristics, transforms, calibration)
• Strong debugging skills: runtime issues, latency, performance bottlenecks, integration failures
• Ability to architect clean, modular, maintainable software systems

Robotics Foundation :

• Understanding of at least one robotics domain: state estimation, perception, tracking, planning, control, sensor fusion, or integration
• Ability to reason about real-time behavior, latency budgets, and reliability requirements
• End-to-end thinking: understanding how individual modules affect the whole system

Nice to have

• Python for tooling or prototyping
• Experience with robotics middleware or real-time systems
• Background in optimization, filtering, or physical modeling
• Experience with embedded platforms, GPUs, or simulation tools
• We hire for core engineering ability, everything else can be learned here.

What else

• Builder mentality: you ship working solutions, not theoretical concepts
• Hands-on ownership: you proactively solve problems, even outside your direct scope
• Field-driven mindset: you care about what survives real operations, not "lab perfect"
• High quality bar: you aim for reliability, determinism, and clarity in your engineering
• Startup drive: you execute fast despite ambiguity, and adapt quickly
• Mission alignment: genuine motivation to work on defense-relevant, safety-critical robotics
• Nationality of a NATO member nation or close ally is required
