Job Summary

About the role

As a Robotics Software Engineer at N Robotics youll work at the core of our autonomy stack designing and developing software that makes our robots move perceive and interact safely in the real world.

Youll take ownership across the full software lifecycle: from concept and algorithm design to real-world deployment on our robotic platforms.
Your work will span motion planning perception sensor fusion and navigation integrating directly with our hardware and testing in the loop.

Youll collaborate with a cross-functional team of mechanical electrical and systems engineers to create tightly integrated robotic role is ideal for someone who wants to own code that runs on real robots move fast in a hands-on environment and help shape the foundations of a deep-tech robotics company from the inside out.

Tasks

Design and develop advanced software for robotic control systems including motion planning perception and navigation.
Implement and optimize algorithms for real-time data processing sensor fusion and autonomous decision-making.
Collaborate closely with hardware engineers to integrate software with robotic components actuators and sensors.
Conduct system-level testing debugging and performance tuning to ensure robustness and reliability.
Build and maintain ROS 2 nodes APIs and supporting software infrastructure.
Develop tools for data capture visualization simulation and CI/CD pipelines (simulation and hardware-in-the-loop).
Stay current with emerging robotics technologies frameworks and software engineering practices.(Optional): Generate synthetic datasets and simulation scenarios in Isaac Sim / MuJoCo to enhance sim-to-real transfer performance.

Requirements

What you bring to the table

Technical must-haves

Strong programming skills in Python C and C with at least 3 years of experience in ROS (1/2) and Linux environments.
Solid understanding of robot kinematics mathematical modeling and controls theory.
Experience with real-time data processing sensor fusion and autonomous control algorithms.
Skilled in ROS 2 development including custom nodes hardware abstraction layers and distributed architectures.
Proficiency in perception and SLAM pipelines (OpenCV PCL Eigen ORB-SLAM VINS-Fusion RTAB-Map) and sensor integration (LiDAR IMU cameras).
Familiar with simulation and testing environments such as Isaac Sim Gazebo or MuJoCo.
Commitment to software quality including testing and CI/CD workflows.
Independent hands-on problem solver with a high degree of initiative and responsibility.

Your mindset & working style

You move fast think like an owner and get things done even when the path isnt mapped out.
You thrive in startup chaos you dont wait for perfect specs; you build test learn and iterate.
You bring deep curiosity and the drive to push robotics beyond the expected.
You write clean reliable and testable code because autonomy depends on trust not hacks.
You care about interfaces robustness and results and you take pride in shipping what actually works.
You communicate openly challenge ideas (including your own) and learn fast from real-world data.
Youre here to solve hard problems not to clock time to grow with the team thats redefining what robots can do.

Benefits

What you can expect

At N Robotics we pair high standards with heart:

Real impact fast: Your code runs on real robots - not months later but as part of short hands-on build-test cycles.
Close collaboration: Work directly with founders and senior engineers in a low-bureaucracy high-trust environment.
Modern workspace in Berlin: Fully equipped lab and shop (3D printers CNC mills test rigs) plus quiet focus areas. Everything on site in Tempelhof.
Growth we enable: Budget for courses & conferences regular workshops peer reviews and knowledge sharing.
Healthy & human: Supportive respectful team culture with regular team events and 30 days of vacation.
Fair package: Competitive salary great tools and the autonomy to shape how we build.

About us

Were a Berlin deep-tech startup building mobile robots that move safely and reliably in the real world. Our core focus is legged mobility and robust field-ready systems from prototype to production.
What matters to us: owning responsibility striving for excellence acting entrepreneurially growing together and staying human. We work hands-on fast and on-site in Berlin. Diversity is our standard different perspectives make our product and our team stronger.

Diversity at N Robotics
Diverse teams build better robots. Even if you dont meet every single bullet wed still like to hear from youespecially if you identify with underrepresented groups in tech.
