Zusammenfassung

Batch Robotics in Munich is seeking a Senior Machine Learning Engineer to develop AI-driven robotic systems for perception and control. You will build ML components across vision, sensor fusion, and policy paths, and deploy models on real robots, focusing on robustness and real-time performance.

Join a small, international team in a central Munich workspace, with ambitious goals and a culture of ownership and fast-paced innovation.

Qualifikationen

• Master's Degree and more than 3 years of professional experience or a (almost) finished PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Hands-on work with reinforcement learning (RL) and imitation learning within physics simulations.
• Strong proficiency in Python and ideally Rust; ability to write clean, modular, and performance-optimized code for distributed workloads using AI agents.
• Proven track record of deploying models on physical robotic manipulators and handling noisy, temporal, or large-scale datasets.

Aufgaben

• End-to-End ML Systems: Design, implement, and train state-of-the-art AI models for perception and control of robot arms.
• Data Pipelines & ML Ops: Collect real-world data from factory deployments to optimize model training and update models in the field.
• Simulation & Synthetic Data: Work and improve simulation-based tooling (e.g., NVIDIA Newton Physics Engine) for physical AI and scalable synthetic data generation.
• Model Development: Build ML components across perception and policy pathways, including video models, multimodal encoders, world models, and diffusion/transformer architectures.
• Systems Integration: Work with real-world, multimodal datasets (vision, force/torque, tactile) and ensure models operate reliably under real-time constraints on physical hardware.
• Evaluation & Iteration: Test models in realistic environments, analyze failures, and refine for stability, latency, and robustness.

Jobbeschreibung

Batch Robotics is revolutionizing how robots operate in factories — not through rigid programming or teaching by human demonstration, but with smart perception and AI intelligence. We are a team of 4 motivated people with +25 years of experience in industry and robotics. Our mission is to make robots smarter and more flexible, enabling batch-size-1 automation for surface treatment economically. Our technology helps factories in Europe to remain competitive with intelligent robotics.

We are now looking for a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with technical excellence and entrepreneurial drive to join us in developing the next generation of AI-driven robotic systems!
