Job Summary

Building on our long-standing expertise in advanced production technologies Rosendahl Nextrom is expanding into AI-driven robotics with a forward-thinking research and engineering team dedicated to developing adaptive industrial robotsan advancement that will transform industrial automation manufacturing logistics and beyond.

Our mission is to create intelligent adaptable robotic systems that seamlessly integrate into real-world production environments combining cutting-edge AI research with practical robotics to enable robots to perceive learn and act with human-like flexibility. As this is a strategic new direction you will have the opportunity to shape not only the technology but also the business models that will define the future of smart manufacturing.

Tasks

As a Robot Learning Research Engineer you will design implement and evaluate novel machine learning algorithms for humanoid and industrial robots. You will work at the intersection of computer vision reinforcement learning imitation learning and control systems developing models that enable robots to understand the world and acquire new skills

Responsibilities:

Develop and apply Vision Language Action (VLA) models multimodal transformers and large foundation models to enable advanced robot perception reasoning and decision-making.
Research and implement state-of-the-art robot learning methods including reinforcement learning (RL) imitation learning policy optimization and sim-to-real transfer.
Build scalable pipelines for robot data collection simulation-to-reality transfer and continual learning across digital twins and real-world deployment.
Integrate algorithms with motion planning sensor fusion and SLAM to enable robust humanoid autonomy.

Requirements

Masters or PhD in Robotics Computer Science Machine Learning or a related field.
Practical experience with real-time robotic controllers and hands-on work with robotic hardware.
Hands-on experience with ML frameworks such as PyTorch TensorFlow or JAX.
Experience with robotic platforms and simulators (MuJoCo Isaac Sim PyBullet etc.).
Familiarity with ROS/ROS 2 and proficiency in Python and C.
Strong problem-solving analytical and collaborative skills.
EU Citizenship and relocation to Austria (Graz - Pischelsdorf Area)

Nice to have qualifications:

Experience working with humanoid robots bipedal locomotion or dexterous manipulation.
Familiarity with embedded systems and edge AI deployment.
Familiarity with tools for distributed and large-scale training.

Benefits

This is a startup-like environment within a well-established global engineering company - ideal for engineers who want autonomy innovation and impact.
Opportunity to push the boundaries of robot learning research with real-world industrial impact.
Access to state-of-the-art humanoid robotic platforms and scalable high-performance computing resources.
Collaborative interdisciplinary and international environment.
Competitive salary benefits and relocation support.
Flexible working hours and hybrid/remote work possibilities
Opportunity to work on a greenfield project with high visibility and executive support
Collaborative and innovation-driven environment backed by Rosendahl Nextroms global reach
Access to internal and external training conferences and technical mentorship

We are prepared to pay above the standard rate and will determine your salary together with you. The collective agreement for the Austrian metalworking industry serves as a basis with a minimum gross salary of 4.49258 per month for full-time employment on all-inclusive basis.

Fits for you We are looking forward to hearing from you!
