Software Developer jobs in Germany

We are looking for a (Senior) Application Software Engineer (f/m/d) with a passion for innovative automation solutions and a strong commitment to software quality, to help make RobCo the leading platform for modular robotics solutions in the European SMB market.

With more than €50 million in funding from renowned VCs such as Sequoia Capital and Lightspeed, as well as top investors like Daniel Dines and Torsten Reil, we’ve built a solid foundation for our ambitious growth goals.

• Integration & Interfaces:You’ll integrate complex peripheral devices (cameras, measurement systems, test machines, controllers, etc.) into our robotic cells. You’ll develop, test, and maintain the necessary software interfaces – even when vendor support, documentation, or ready-made drivers are lacking.

• Hands-on Coding:You write adapters, use APIs and integration scripts in Python or whichever language best fits the task. You apply protocol analysis and debugging tools – and get every device up and running.

• Technical Troubleshooting:You’re the go-to person for our deployment teams when standard processes don’t work or something just refuses to function – whether onsite, remotely, or in the lab.

• Project Work:You accompany projects from the initial idea through proof of concept all the way to stable customer solutions, working closely with Product, Hardware, and Field Engineering teams.

• Documentation & Knowledge Transfer:You document solutions clearly, create how-tos for technicians, and ensure that know-how is retained and shared within the team.

• Enabler for Innovation:You bring in new technologies, evaluate external components, and take unconventional approaches to solve customer and field challenges.

• You have a degree in Computer Science, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, or a comparable qualification.

• You have strong proficiency in Python and experience with other programming languages (e.g., C++).

• You have experience integrating and controlling industrial devices – ideally in automation or robotics environments.

• You find creative solutions where others give up, think in systems, are hands-on, and don’t get lost in theory.

• You communicate clearly and in a structured way, and you can explain technical issues in an understandable way – to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, in German and English.

• You enjoy working in cross-functional teams (e.g., with Hardware, Support, Product).

• You’re open to occasional on-site customer visits and excited to see your software in real-world use.

• You take joy in pragmatic, fast problem-solving, have a pioneering spirit, and strive to make things truly work.

• Work with us on groundbreaking technology in software-defined modular robotics and be a pioneer in tackling the skilled labor shortage in industry.

• Take on a versatile, responsible, and independent role in a dynamic startup environment.

• Enjoy flat hierarchies and an open, direct feedback culture – including 360° development feedback focused on your holistic professional growth.

• Train at over 7,200 partner gyms across Germany for just €30 per month with your subsidized Wellpass membership.

• Join regular team events like game nights, ski trips, and more – teamwork makes the dream work!

Share our passion for revolutionary robotics technology and become part of our fast-growing journey. You’ll lead your own projects, implement innovative solutions, and be recognized for your impact.
