Job summary

Agile Robots SE in Munich, Germany, seeks a Vision Engineer (m/f/d) to own the 2D/3D perception pipeline for an industrial robotics and automation use case. You will convert camera and depth inputs into actionable data for the robot system and calibrate multi-sensor setups to keep outputs accurate as the hardware changes.

You will implement feature detection, registration, and pose estimation for relevant objects, validate feasibility at PoC, and integrate the pipeline with the robot's software

Qualifications

• Degree in computer vision, robotics, or computer science, or equivalent qualification with professional experience building applied vision systems.
• Experience implementing 2D/3D vision algorithms validated on real hardware.
• Working understanding of multi-camera and depth-sensor data (RGB, depth, LiDAR).
• C++ or Python experience applied to production-ready vision pipelines, not research scripts.
• Understanding of how a perception pipeline feeds into a robot’s control and motion layers.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain the vision algorithm and pipeline that turns camera and depth input into usable data for the robot system.
• Own multi-camera and depth-sensor calibration, maintaining accuracy as the setup changes.
• Implement feature detection, registration, and pose estimation for relevant objects and workpieces.
• Test the vision approach at the proof-of-concept stage before delivery.
• Integrate the perception pipeline into the robot’s software stack and coordinate with motion and hardware teams.
• Translate customer deployment conditions into concrete pipeline requirements (lighting, occlusion, variation).

Job description

The Industrial Automation Team of Agile Robots is looking for aVision Engineer (m/f/d) Industrial Robotics & Automation, who will own the 2D/3D perception pipeline for an industrial robotics use case, turning camera and depth input into data the deployed system can act on.

Your Responsibilities

• Perception Pipeline: Build and maintain the vision algorithm and pipeline that turns camera and depth input into data that the robot system can act on.
• Calibration: Own multi-camera and depth-sensor calibration, keeping perception output accurate as the physical setup changes.
• Detection & Pose Estimation: Implement feature detection, registration, and pose estimation for the objects and workpieces relevant to the use case.
• Feasibility Validation: Test the vision approach against the specific industrial use case at the proof-of-concept stage, before it moves toward confirmed delivery.
• System Integration: Integrate the perception pipeline into the robot’s software stack, coordinating with the engineers building motion, control, and hardware bring-up.
• Use-Case Translation: Read the customer’s real deployment conditions, such as lighting, occlusion and part variation, into concrete requirements that the pipeline has to handle.

Essential Skills

• Educational Background: Degree in computer vision, robotics, or computer science, or an equivalent qualification combined with professional experience building applied vision systems.
• Applied Vision: Experience implementing 2D/3D vision algorithms (calibration, feature detection, pose estimation) validated on real hardware.
• Camera Data: Working understanding of multi-camera and depth-sensor data, including RGB, depth, and LiDAR sources, as inputs to a vision pipeline.
• Software Engineering: C++ or Python experience applied to production-facing vision pipelines, not one-off research scripts.
• Robotics Context: Working understanding of how a perception pipeline feeds into a robot’s control and motion layers.

Beneficial Skills

• Simulation: Familiarity with simulation environments such as Gazebo or Isaac Sim for testing a vision approach before hardware deployment.
• ROS/ROS2: Experience with ROS or ROS2 for integrating perception output into a broader robotics software stack.
• Industrial Deployment: Exposure to vision systems deployed in a customer-facing industrial or manufacturing setting.

What we offer

• A dynamic high-tech company, combined with financial soundness and world-class investors.
• Join an interdisciplinary, international team with 60+ different nationalities in a collaborative work environment.
• Lots of development opportunities as we continue to grow.
• Challenging tasks and impactful projects alongside experts that enable professional and personal growth.
• Corporate Benefits Program covering health, mobility, and learning for 100€ net per month.

Modern office facilities with a rooftop terrace overlooking Munich, free drinks & fruits, and regular company events contribute to a good working environment
