Your Mission

RobCo is spearheading a revolution in robotics, empowering businesses to thrive by supercharging productivity and freeing them from labor shortages. Our modular, high-performance robotic solutions enable manufacturers to automate faster, more flexibly, and more cost-effectively than ever before. With over €50 million in funding from top-tier VCs such as Sequoia Capital and Lightspeed, we are building the category-leading robotics company in Europe and the US.

Your Mission:

As a Robotics Software & Algorithms Engineer, you will build the core intelligence and software foundations that determine how RobCo’s modular robots move, behave, and interact with the world.

You will design, implement, and validate algorithms that sit at the heart of our robotic platform — from kinematics and calibration to trajectory execution, system modeling, and real-time logic. Your work directly shapes robot performance, safety, and user experience.

This is a hands-on engineering role with impact across the entire robotics stack. You will collaborate closely with controls, hardware, simulation, and product teams, and you will frequently work with real robot hardware as part of tight development loops.

Your Responsibilities: 

• Build core robotics algorithms – Implement and extend algorithms for kinematics, calibration, parameter estimation, trajectory handling, motion execution, and task/state logic.

• Advance robot models & simulation – Improve our robot models, testbeds, and simulation infrastructure to support accurate prediction, testing, and validation.

• Develop production-grade software – Write clean, maintainable, well-tested C++ and/or Python code that runs reliably in real-time environments.

• Shape system architecture – Drive cross-functional decisions across software, control, and hardware teams to ensure seamless algorithm integration.

• Validate on real robots – Test and iterate your solutions directly on hardware with fast, data-driven feedback cycles.

• Raise the engineering bar – Contribute to internal quality standards, testing strategies, and processes; mentor junior colleagues; champion technical excellence.

Your Profile

• At least 3 years experience in robotics, mechatronics, control systems, or a related field

• Hands-on experience implementing algorithms such as kinematics, calibration, parameter estimation, state machines, and trajectory execution

• Solid software engineering skills in C++ (Python a plus), with clean and maintainable coding practices

• Experience integrating robotic systems (ROS/ROS2, hardware interfaces, middleware)

• Comfortable working close to real hardware and within real-time constraints

• Ability to break down complex problems, propose architectures, and deliver end-to-end solutions

• Strong system-thinking mindset: understanding interactions across software, control, and hardware

• Excellent communication skills, proactive attitude, and enjoyment in collaborating in an interdisciplinary engineering environment

Why us?

• Shape the core software foundations of modular, software-defined robotics

• Direct ownership of features with immediate real-world impact

• Hybrid work model, flexible working hours, and high-end equipment

• Interdisciplinary team with strong engineering culture and fast learning cycles

• Regular team events, game nights, hikes, and more

• A transparent, high-trust environment that values initiative and honest feedback

Your work will define how RobCo robots move, perform, and enable customers every day.
