9 Years. 50 Engineers. Zero Hype.
Aeolus Robotics builds autonomous service robots that operate in dynamic human spaces worldwide. Weve been through the full arc of hardware development: the early days of flashy CES booths the humbling reality of real-world field deployments and the years of relentless engineering focus required to build true system stability.
After hardening our hardware and software stack against the messy reality we are expanding our fleet with a battle-tested team and a mature product. We arent here to sell ungrounded promises or CGI prototypes. We engineer quiet high-ROI rock-solid service robots designed for customers who expect real-world execution.
Role Overview
As a Junior Robotics Engineer you will join us as a generalist and work across our robotics stack rather than being locked into a single specialty. You will learn the codebase and the systems from the ground up under close mentorship contributing wherever you are needed most: debugging real robots hardening code and taking on new work as you grow. This is a hands-on role with real hardware in the lab and you may help resolve issues coming from live customer deployments.
What You Will Do
Debug and maintain existing components across the robotics stack
Investigate and troubleshoot robot failures by analyzing logs and telemetry forming and testing hypotheses
Help take promising research code (e.g. grasping and manipulation pipelines) from a rough prototype toward something reliable enough to ship
Write new production code as you ramp up with mentorship on our conventions
Support other teams with tooling experiments and automation
Who We Are Looking For
The single most important thing we want to see is genuine hands-on immersion in robotics not just relevant coursework. Ideally you have:
Spent real time in a robotics lab competition team or equivalent working alongside peers and more senior people
Been exposed to the messy reality of robotics: hardware that misbehaves sensors that lie debugging on real systems
Some awareness of where the robotics field is today beyond what a curriculum covers
Fresh out of university is completely fine but in that case we expect RoboCup or equivalent: a serious robotics competition or a lab project that actually ran on real hardware.
Category | Details |
Location | Vienna Austria (in-office no remote work) |
Eligibility | Must be eligible to live and work in Austria |
Education | BSc or MSc in a relevant field |
Experience | Junior; fresh graduates welcome provided they bring hands-on experience with real robots |
Core Skills | Solid CS fundamentals; enough C to read and reason about a large codebase |
Robotics Stack | Practical ROS1/ROS2 exposure is a plus |
Mandatory Requirements
Solid computer science fundamentals: a practical working command of complexity data structures how a computer handles memory and basic concurrency (not competitive-programming or from-scratch-algorithm skill)
Enough C to read and reason about a large codebase and the ability to become genuinely comfortable in it quickly (roughly 90% of our code is C so you will live in it)
Working knowledge of Git
Strong ability to learn quickly and adapt to new technologies
Grit delivery focus and systematic problem-solving
Good written and spoken English
Preferred Requirements
Familiarity with ROS1 or ROS2 or similar message-passing frameworks
Python for scripting experimentation and data analysis
Background in any relevant robotics subfield (e.g. perception/vision manipulation navigation planning or machine learning)
Comfort with the math these fields rest on (linear algebra 3D geometry)
Experience with common robotics vision or ML libraries (e.g. OpenCV PCL PyTorch)
Work Environment & Culture
Autonomy Built on Trust: We aim for high domain ownership and minimal micromanagement. Newer hires or juniors get closer guidance early on but as trust is built you get full room to run.
Fast PoCs Rigorous Production: Build scrappy prototypes fast to prove value on physical hardware. Once greenlit switch to extreme rigorbecause this code runs autonomously around real people.
Radical Accountability: When something breaks no hiding or blame-game. Own it candidly fix it fast and re-engineer the system so it never happens again.
Data Over Ego: No politics no bureaucracy. Technical truth is decided by physics telemetry and test datathe best idea wins regardless of title or tenure.
Global & Hands-On Collaboration: Work with a lean cross-functional team across Vienna lab and multiple other locations keeping tight feedback loops on real robots.
Why This Role Matters
A lot of what separates a robotics prototype from a product that runs 24/7 in the real world is not the first exciting demo; it is the debugging hardening and relentless follow-through that come after. That work is essential and it is where you will have impact from early on. Chasing down why a robot failed on-site or dragging a promising research pipeline from "works in the paper" to "works reliably enough to ship" is exactly the kind of problem you will own here with the scope of what you take on growing as fast as you do.
This is also a deliberate investment in you. Rather than boxing you into one corner we want you to gain breadth across vision manipulation and real-robot systems with close mentorship from people who have done it. If you have spent time where robots are actually built and broken and you want to learn serious robotics engineering somewhere that will invest in you we would like to hear from you.
