Responsibilities
• Hands-on ability to design, prototype, and iterate on robotic hardware: positioning, mechanical assemblies, end effectors, force control • A track record of deploying robotic or automated systems in real operational environments • Enough perception and localisation knowledge to integrate sensors, process spatial data, and close the loop between the physical platform and a digital model • Strong software architecture instincts and pragmatism about build-versus-partner trade-offs, including where to leverage foundation models and third-party APIs • What you'll grow into: • Architecting the full intelligence layer: perception, spatial reasoning, task planning, feedback loops • Building the data architecture that turns every deployment into training data • Leading and scaling a technical team across hardware, software, and AI • Examples of relevant backgrounds: • A robotics or mechatronics engineer from industrial automation, warehouse, agricultural, or mobile manipulation robotics, or a senior engineer from a first-wave robotics startup, who has owned a physical system end-to-end in a real operational environment and is ready to own the full stack on their next venture • A physical AI or robotics researcher with genuine hands-on hardware experience beyond simulation • An engineer from an adjacent field (autonomous vehicles, heavy machinery, mining, offshore, defence, aerospace) who has built real-time systems combining mechanical hardware with perception and planning • Location: the Netherlands • We encourage you to apply even if you don't feel you meet every requirement. Above all, we value intelligence, creativity, rapid learning, and the ability to bridge hardware and software to build a world-class product.
