Your mission

Join us in solving one of industrial robotics' toughest challenges. R3 Robotics is developing the AI-powered dismantling platform that transforms end-of-life electric vehicle systems into strategic sources of critical materials. As global electrification accelerates, the surge in batteries and e-motors requires automated solutions that manual disassembly cannot provide. We are addressing this industrial bottleneck by enabling the automated dismantling of complex systems at scale through computer vision, artificial intelligence, and specialized robotic tooling. Following a successful €20M Series A funding round led by HG Ventures and Suma Capital, we are expanding across Europe and preparing for our entry into the United States market in 2026. We partner with major industrial recyclers and automotive OEMs to deliver measurable impact. If you seek to work on advanced robotics within a well-funded organization scaling internationally, this is your opportunity.

Your responsibilities

• Design and implement control algorithms and tools for smart disassembly automation, both proof-of-concepts and prototypes for experiments and production quality code for use in the customer-facing solution. Some tasks you will be working on include:
• Task and path planning for a 6 DoF robot, 2 DoF loading station, bespoke end-effectors in a complex scene with many collisions.
• Maintaining a precise digital twin simulation and implementing a calibration procedure to ensure simulation is in line with reality.
• Implementation of closed-loop control algorithms in collaboration with our Perception team.
• Work with different robots and IPCs of various brands and implement scalable hardware-agnostic methods.
• When prototypes show feasibility, plan and execute the implementation with guaranteed quality - implementing the tests and documentation for reproducibility and reliability.
• Navigate the trade-offs between tech complexity and getting things to work.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including mechanical and electrical engineers, ensuring seamless integration between hardware and software components.
• Coordinate with suppliers and third-party collaborators
• Ensure software engineering best practices in the team, mentoring more junior members and grow into a leadership position.
• Perform root cause analysis and demonstrate the necessary debugging skills when required.
• Take ownership of your tasks end-to-end, collect necessary data, set up hardware experiments, test and integrate until the finished product.

Your profile

• 5 years of experience in a similar field, including 3+ years' experience of developing production-grade robotics software in Python, C++, Rust or similar languages.
• Master's degree in computer science or another STEM field.
• Solid understanding of the modern industrial automation and robotics stack - you know how to set up a ROS environment and are not afraid of PLC programming if necessary.
• Strong mathematical background, linear algebra, and vector operations are a must. You need to know what a quaternion is. Ideally you have some experience with vision systems, but it is not a requirement.
• Excellent organizational and communication skills, verbal and written communication in English.
• Ability to work under pressure while juggling multiple tasks and adhering to tight deadlines.

Why us?

• High degree of collaboration and autonomy while working with a group of highly skilled, committed and supportive peers
• Transparent culture where everyone of us is highly valued
• Development of your professional skills and knowledge by taking ownership of challenging tasks and responsibilities, supported by Leads and peers
• "Getting things done" attitude, and access to cutting edge technologies
• A guaranteed steep continuous learning curve from day one
• Complementary Health Insurance
